Sri Lanka (translated from Sanskrit ‘blessed land’) is an insular nation, a tropical Paradise on earth. Sri Lanka is an island with wonderful and exotic nature, with great variety of flora and fauna and centuries of old traditions. The main treasure of this island is its local population - the Sri Lankans are very friendly and open people. The main means of transport on the island of Sri Lanka is a motorized rickshaw or a tuk-tuk, as it is affectionately known by tourists. Traveling with an experienced tuk-tuk driver you can see small towns, Weligama, and port facilities in Galle, Buddhist temples and the only plantation of white tea in Southeast Asia, a herb garden with lots of exotic oriental spices. You can indulge in buying jewelry and clothes made of natural silk.
