Dear Visitor...
Most probably you will be enjoying Christmas with us, in typical Sri Lankan style. Tables laden with local sweetmeats, sharing space with the Breudher cake and bon-bons. Don’t forget to taste our Christmas cake bursting with cashew nuts and the flavours of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, made according to age old recipes in each household. Christmas in Sri Lanka is enjoyed by all irrespective of their faiths.
Alien sighting and observations have been discussed from time to time from various parts of the island, a writer shares his climb to the Dhanigala mountain, heavy with Alien tales. Our small island boasts of the world’s largest mammal along with delightful dolphins frequenting the ocean around us. It is a seasonal sighting from different places but the awe-inspiring sight never fail to thrill the observers.
Sri Lanka’s leopard population is rapidly growing exciting the wild life photographers, for the leopard is a photogenic animal, and wild life enthusiasts. The 12th century exquisitely painted scenes from Buddhist legends at Thivanka Pilimage at Polonnaruwa, could even rival some of the best at caves temples of Ajantha in India.
The Grand Hotel, Nuwara Eliya presents a truly memorable Christmas this year, be their guest and make the most magical time sparkle this festive season.
Enjoy A Very Merry Christmas!
