The Wonderland Sri lanka Tour

Package Overview

Wonderland Srilanka
Sri Lanka is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, separated from India by the Palk Straight. It is
―almost‖ linked to India by a mostly underwater atoll called Adam’s Bridge. It is a very lush,

tropical island setting just north of the equator. For over 2,000 years the island was ruled by a

monarchy, which only ceased in 1972 with the appointment of a president. Sri Lanka’s population of around 21 million -similar to our own – is a multi ethnic with four main groups. Singhalese (mostly Buddhist) is the largest, followed by Tamils (mostly Hindu), Moors (with Arab origins) and Burghers – a mixed group of Portuguese and Dutch origin who are mainly Christians. Generally speaking, it is a poor country with around 25% of the population living below the poverty line. Its core source of income comes from tea exportations, spices, rubber textiles and petroleum refining. About 30% of the island is covered by forest and about 10% of this is a national park.

There are so many reasons to visit this country – there is so much to see and do. Even though it is a relatively small country, each region is quite different. The indigenous and colonial history is fascinating. The food is fabulous. The scenery is spectacular. Plus, the abundance of wildlife — one of the draw cards for travelers — will take you by surprise. Visiting the national parks — and sometimes in the wild — you can spot sambar deer, Sri Lankan elephants, leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles, water buffalo and hundreds of bird species.

It’s no wonder that in 2013, Lonely Planet rated this wonderful country as the ―hottest travel destination on the planet‖, and they didn’t mean the weather. Join us on this in-depth tour which will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Cultural Sri Lanka.
