When people think of holiday destinations it normally involves a deserted beach somewhere in the Med, but all holidays do not need to be like this. More and more people are on the lookout for a holiday that can deliver a bit of a cultural lesson, rather than a chance to lie on their backs for two weeks in baking sun! It is of course hard to take the traditional holiday maker out of the British, which is why it is good that there are some holiday destinations out there that can offer you the best of both worlds. There are places on this planet that offer sumptuous beach holidays that can be combined with fascinating cultural visits just a little way inland.
There’s no doubt that Sri Lanka falls into this category.

It is perhaps this fact which means that there are many parts of the island that are totally different from one another. This creates a great destination for anyone who wants to visit a country that is full of interest. It is great to be able to visit a place where every town offers something significantly different, and it is even better when that place also has fantastic beaches for the part of you that does just want to lie flat on your back in the baking sun!Sri Lanka is famed for white beaches and beautiful seas, yet the fascination for many people is the differing places on the island that lie inland. Climate wise you can expect fantastic weather throughout most of the year, with just the mountainous region in the central south area of the island ever getting any sort of frost.
