"AYUBOVAN" with this traditional greeting, which is a wish that you may have the gift of long life, we welcome you to Sri-Lanka -the Resplendent Land. In this land, small in size, but large in what is encompassed within its shores, you will find an abundance of things to see hear, feel and discover. |

|
Welcome to a land rich in history and heritage. Discover cities millenniums old, which were beacons of civilization long before the Vikings set out to sea and Ceaser led his armies to the ends of Europe. |

See the shades and tones of green vegetation, both tropical and temperate, thriving in the year-round sun less than 10 degrees north of the Equator, be enchanted by the lure of 1000 miles of sun-blessed, golden beach, washed by the warm, blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Explore submerged frills of coral and listen to the perennial symphony of breaking surf. Lose yourself in jungles where elephant, leopard, deer and peacock roam in the freedom of nature. |

Learn of the traditions of Buddhism - Tolerance and Compassion - which nurtured a civilization for more than 2500 years and remain as vital today as they were at the very dawn of the new faith. Visit sanctuaries where nature is still protected under royal edicts more than 2000 years old. Remember that Conservation - the new thing in the West - is an ancient concept in Sri-Lanka. |
