Sri Lanka Style




We welcome you to our lovely island, Sri Lanka, which is the pearl of an Indian Ocean. The island’s proud history of over 2500years and the breathtaking diversity of scenery will capture your heart.

 What may strike you most about Sri Lanka is its amazing variety of scenery. It is possible to pass radiant green paddy fields, sun-bronzed beaches, ruined cities, small beautiful villages, desert regions, sanctuaries for wildlife in tropical jungles, and hill country tea plantations verbally within hours of each other.
Sri Lanka is a paradise of unlimited sun, sea, wind and surf all year round. The coast every now and then crushes and curves into little nooks, bays and coves, ideal romantic hideaways. There are also many ecosystems with mangroves, sand dunes, lovely beaches and coral reefs.

Anuradhapura is first capital city of Sri Lanka. With inoculation from neighboring South India, the base of power shifted to Polonnaruwa, Dambadeniya, yapahuwa, Kurunegala ,Kandy and Kotte. Almost five hundred years during which the island came under the control and governs of the Portuguese, Dutch and British.

The island’s economy has traditionally been head on agriculture, with rice as the dominant food crop. With western commercial influence, rice gave way to cash crops, to the British made tea the base of the economy.

The new thrust in the economy is on export led industry. Agriculture is now being resuscitated. On-traditional exports such as garments, foliage, cut flowers, seafood, and tropical fish and value added agro-industries have in recent years support to the economic advance Sri Lanka.
Although well on the road modernization, the country and its people still feed most of their traditional values and take pride in their rich culture.
