Dear Visitor...

Welcome to the festival time in Sri Lanka. Two of our grandest festivals occur on the same dates from late July to first week of August. Try to stretch your dates in Sri Lanka, if possible as these are two festivals which you will never forget.

Kataragama Festival, held in the deep south amidst sylvan surroundings, involving esoteric rituals, customs and traditions will keep you spellbound. The grandest spectacle of the island, the Kandy Esela Perahera (procession) culminates also during the first week of August. You could immerse yourself in the pageantry of medieval splendour.

The Central Bank Currency Museum in the fort, showcase for you, money used in the island, from the earliest times (8th c, A.D.) to date, a veritable treasure trove. Pete Martin, our adventurous cycling enthusiast going around Sri Lanka, unfolds a page from his diary on our mesmerizing south coastal region. Though small in size Sri Lanka is rich in painting dating through the early, classical and medieaval periods, The Dambulla Museum of Paintings, capture these in high quality copies and is easily accessible as the museum is located on the tourist trail.

Eminent international producers and directors have found Sri Lanka to be an irresistible film location spot from the early fifties. Elizabeth Taylor, Gergory Peck, Peter Finch, Harrison Ford, David Niven. William Holden, to name a few, have stepped on our shores.

Catch the island’s magic in your camera too!
