A Brief Description

In the emerald-green waters of the Indian Ocean, the island country of Sri Lanka was first populated by the Sinhalese peoples from northern India.

As the European influences spread throughout southern Asia in the 16th century, it was eventually occupied by the Portuguese, and later, the Dutch in the 17th century.

Then, in 1796, it was ceded to Britain by the Netherlands, becoming a crown colony in 1802.

Long known as Ceylon, and as a popular port-of-call, it declared independence in 1948, subsequently changing its name to Sri Lanka in 1972.

For decades that followed, internal strife seemed indigenous to Sri Lanka, as tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil separatists finally erupted into a civil war in 1983.

Tens of thousands died in that ethnic conflict, and although now on the proverbial back-burner, social and governmental conflicts continue to fester.

Then tragically, Sri Lanka, frequently referred to as the "Teardrop of India," was itself devastated by the powerful earthquake-triggered tsunami (or tidal wave) on December 26, 2004.

Today this tropical island is again on the radar screen's of worldwide travelers, as Sri Lanka, though struggling, is quickly rebuilding its infrastructure and making a strong comeback, especially in tourism.

And happily, for the most part, island-wide peaceful coexistence seems to be catching on.

Pidurutalagala, the country's highest point, as well as Adam's Peak (the country's famous religious site) both rise in the mountains directly east of Colombo.

Numerous short and narrow rivers rise in the central highland; the most significant include the Kala, Kalu, Kirindi and Yan rivers.

Traveler Info

Attractions There is an on-going threat of terrorism in Sri Lanka from the LLTE organization, however, few attacks have occurred in the last few years.

In that regard, the U.S. State Department and other governments post warnings for travelers, especially in Colombo, and during any mass gathering or political rally. Travelers are requested to take the necessary steps to protect their personal safety.

That aside, Sri Lanka is without doubt one of the most scenic places on the planet, and well worth visiting. It's world renown for thick, tropical jungles, perfect beaches and a full-calendar of colorful festivals.

Major points-of-interest include the ancient town of Anuradhapura; Batticaloa and its singing fish; the rock temple at Dambulla; the exotic port city of Galle; Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage; the sacred mountain of Adam's Peak; Hikkaduwa beach; the cultural city of Kandy, and the wide sandy beaches on the west coast near Negomo - to name but a few.
