Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka luxury travel promises a healthy dose of beauty, beaches, and centuries of culture.

Silk Road Origins

Located just southeast of India and northeast of the Maldives, Sri Lanka gained worldwide notoriety as a part of the ancient Silk Road trading route. Today, it remains a source of tea, coffee, and native spice cinnamon among other goods.

Wildlife Wonderland

It also boasts a stunning amount of biodiversity. Alive with tropical jungles and arid grasslands alike, the island nation features the highest density of flora and fauna any Asian country. Therefore, travelers can visit upwards of 24 wildlife reserves to witness a variety of protected deer, Asian elephant, leopard, primates, and some 250 types of resident birdlife. Sri Lanka luxury travel with Ker & Downey allows you to experience this splendor for yourself.

Cultural Treasures

Given its ancient origins, Sri Lanka also has a number of impressive temples and monuments from antiquity that still stand today. Indeed, Sri Lanka hosts eight UNESCO World Heritage sites within its borders. In the center of the island, find the colonial city of Kandy and the Temple of the Tooth, which shelters the relic of Buddha’s tooth. Also visit Galle Fort, a former Dutch compound which is home to a unique blend of European architecture and varied history. Finally, hike the flawless lowlands of the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, and marvel at the rock fortress of Sigiriya.

Coastal Beauty

The beaches of Sri Lanka remain virtually pristine. Diving and surfing therefore remain popular along the shore. Located on the west coast, Colombo is the country’s largest city and was the capital during the era of British colonization. Today, it is a bustling, modern hub of industry and culture. Further south, the beaches and azure waters tempt visitors to explore. Snorkel and dive through practically pristine reefs, seek out fresh seafood, or simply soak in the sun along stretches of sand.
