The mythical isle of Serendib
Review of General: Sri Lanka by blinderben

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, varied itineraries, cheap, friendly people
Disadvantages: takes a long time to get anywhere (Colombo- Kandy 3hours)

...Sri Lanka has been seen as a jewel in the Indian Ocean by the many people who have passed through it in history. Today this still remains the case. However, its society has been permanently scarred by the uprising by the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam (LTTE) which has been going on for 17 years and has claimed 65,000 lives. Sri Lanka is lush and junglelike on the initial approach by air. Yet this is not the case everywhere. The hill country has tea plantations, moorland and temperate type forest, while the dry zone in the south east and the north is almost savannah like. Whether you are going on an organised tour or independently, the essential sights are Adams Peak, Kandy, Sigirya, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Polonnuruwa, Galle and at least one of the big nature reserves. In terms of beach resorts, Unawatuna, Mirissa and Tangalle... Read review

BERUWELA SRI LANKA MAY 2004
Review of Beruwela (Sri Lanka) by GEMFOXY123

Advantages: FRIENDLY PEOPLE, BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
Disadvantages: DRIVING, POVERTY, BEACH SELLERS

...mins and the hotel was on the beach itself. The all inclusive facilities were very good and the meals were buffet style with something to suit every taste. I would certainly reccomend this hotel to anyone. We went on various excursions to Kandy, Pinewella Elephant orphanage, Turtle Hatchery and Galle etc etc. One piece of advice i will give you is dont be afraid to book tours with a local guide instead of your tour operator and they can be up to 50% cheaper for exactly the same quality if not better. All in all i would say Sri lanka is a huge culture shock to anyone, but extremely worth a visit and i'm sure you will enjoy yourselves whatever type of holiday you are looking for.... Read review

Sri Lanka - The truth
Review of General: Sri Lanka by Pacyesangel

Advantages: Nice Weather, Paradise for tourists
Disadvantages: Boring for young people, not much nightlife

...I have been to Sri Lanka about 8 times in my life because my parents are singhales and we always go back there to visit family. As I've grown up my opinions of Sri Lanka have changed so much. When I was young I always looked forward to going to Sri Lanka with my parents as I had so much more freedom there than I would in England. I used to run around on my grandparents estate climbing trees and playing with the animals. Another thing I really enjoyed about going to Sri Lanka was I got to visit the Yala elephant orphange which was such a good experience. Now that I've grown up though I do not enjoy going to Sri Lanka as much as it isn't a very modern place and there isn't much to do. Although I've grown up with Sri Lanka playing a major part in my life my opinion has changed about it since I've grown up. Theres one thing thats good about... Read review
