Sri Lanka has recently ended a violent civil war against the Tamil Tigers, which is a liberation group who wanted to create a Tamil Eelam. Today, things are stable and tourists are flocking to the country for its stunning scenery, amazing beaches and welcoming people.

The country is famed for its tea plantations, but its cultural triangle, which is located in the centre of the island is a place you will find many UNESCO World Heritage sites, which include Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Polonnaruwa and the cave temples of Dambulla.

If you are into scenery, history and amazing beaches, then Sri Lanka is the ultimate destination for any traveller and is highly recommended.
