Why Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is like India's beautiful southern neighbor - close, affordable, and incredibly diverse. In just a week, you can explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, spot elephants and leopards, hike through tea plantations, and relax on pristine beaches. The strong Buddhist influence, colonial heritage, and warm people create a unique atmosphere.

For Indian travelers, Sri Lanka feels familiar yet different. Vegetarian food is available (though you'll need to ask), many locals speak Tamil, and the visa is now free. It's one of the most affordable international destinations you can visit.
