Sri Lanka: Jungles, mountains, tea and elephants

September 18, 2016 by Sandy Cadiz Smith 16 Comments

Elephants in Sri Lanka

Esala Perahera and English Colonialism in Sri Lanka As well as the bustling cities and sweeping beaches there’s a lot happening away from coastal Sri Lanka. You can go on safari, escape to the jungle, hike through mountains and tea plantations or celebrate the country’s bounty at a beautiful thanksgiving festival. There’s something to inspire all […]

City bustle and beach life in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka Windy Beach

Sri Lanka – Colombo and Beyond: Sri Lanka is a country of amazing contrasts and influences – geographically, scenically, religiously and politically. Its geographic location and deep harbours gave it strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to World War II when the British were stationed here. It’s been ruled by […]

December 30, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 20 Comments

The Lion's mouth sigiriya

Heritage Sites of Sri Lanka – Sigiriya: A winding spiral metal staircase built into the sheer rock-face is not, for me, a place to try a race to the bottom.  And, at 11am, the sun was already burning,the temperature, even at altitude, in the high 80s.  Nevertheless, behind me the guide was fretting. Hurry, hurry […]

First Sights in Sri Lanka

November 10, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 20 Comments

monkey business

An Introduction to Sri Lanka: Winning the Avis Travel Blogger of the Year award was one of the highlights of last year for me.  Apart from the kudos, an £800 travel voucher to spend with British Airways was a fabulous prize.  Of course I did have to decide where to go – and my initial […]
