Paradisiacal beaches, fragrant tea plantations and an island capital that never seems to come to rest. This awaits you on Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Orient in the Indian Ocean, only a short distance from India. Take a tour of the capital Colombo and admire the collection of artifacts in Gangaramaya Temple, take a look at the National Museum or simply stroll through Viharamahadevi Park before heading off to one of the city's many markets in the early afternoon.
