| DESTINATION INFORMATION |
|
|
| COLOMBO |
|
|
A wondrous port city that braved colonisation and ethnic conflicts with grace and now stands with a poise to grow, that's Colombo. The colonial charm of temples, monasteries and bungalows coexists with skyscrapers, malls, tuk-tuks (auto rickshaws) and flavours of a city on ocean banks. Stroll along Pettah Market miles away from the affluent world of Cinnamon Gardens and haggle over merchandise. Wander into narrow alleyways at Galle Road, and devour steaming Egg Rotis and fresh Lemon Juice, and you're beginning to feel Colombo.
Colombo is packed with surprises, relaxation and fun. Let's begin our journey...

| BENTOTA |
|
|
Have you always dreamed of being marooned on a fantasy island with nothing but endless white sands, pristine tropical wilderness and azure skies? Then Bentota is the place to be. South of Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital city, Bentota, is one of the best coastal spots in the world. Charming fishing villages, a rustic countryside and an elegant line of world class resorts, much of Bentota's history is forgotten.
The local populace, however, treasures the rich heritage sites like the 12th century Galapata Vihara and the Wanawasa Raja Maha Viharaya Buddhist temples, and a number of monasteries that in a strange way strike a chord with the region's history. Sit back and enjoy the beauty of it all. Sinhalese and Buddhist gems are scattered all through the quaint corners in this emerald isle. So don't miss out on taking a day tour to simply wander away from the beach and into quieter corners. You never know what you may find. River cruises along Bentota River are mesmerising. It is hard to believe that in earlier days, this very river was infested with crocodiles and was famous for its oysters. The oysters and crocodiles are no more today, but its rich underwater reef life has managed to attract hordes of adventure lovers who simply can't get enough of the sea.
Wander around town and indulge in all that the coast has to offer; dine alfresco, and unwind with a sparkling glass of frothing toddy in warm earthen pots, tuck in fresh seafood delights straight off the grill, and waltz to the whistling winds in the evening as the sun sets. Bentota is sure to leave you intoxicated with life, love and longing.
