For the first time, next week I will visit Sri Lanka. I will be busy for 4 - 5 days and I will spend some days to tour around and meet some interesting people, visit museums and places (I hope).

Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia and has been a centre of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times. Today, Sri Lanka is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic nation, with a fifth of the population following faiths other than Buddhism - notably Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population (around 74%), with Tamils, who are mostly concentrated in the north and east of the island, forming the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include the Muslim Moors and Malays as well as Burghers.
The diverse flora and fauna and history of the island make it a totally fascinating place to be. The area has many sites which are thousands of years old from the buddist faith. Please view the sites below to see what and where you most would like to visit.
