Why travel to Sri Lanka?

Culture: Discover Buddhism at the Dambulla cave temple and get swept up in the festive atmosphere of the Kohomba Kankariya performances.
Relax: What's better than an exotic beach all to yourself? The islands and coast of Sri Lanka are waiting for you. And for a life on vacation, travel to Sri Lanka and the Maldives!
Solidarity: Experience the life of local communities: actively participate in the tea leaf harvesting at a tea plantation and help the distressed specimens at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

Useful information
- Being aware of cultural norms is crucial. For example, it's important to dress modestly, especially when visiting places of worship, where it's often required to cover legs and shoulders and to remove shoes. Showing respect during interactions and avoiding public displays of affection can help maintain good relations with the locals. Moreover, it's polite to accept food and drinks offered by hosts, as refusing can be considered rude.
- Clothes to cover arms and legs out of respect for places of worship, a camera to take home unforgettable images of this adventure in Asia, your favorite book to read on transport while you're traveling to your next destination (even though it's hard to resist the view outside the window!).
- Most of the airlines operate flights to Sri Lanka from the US, but all of them include a stopover. We suggest you the three shortest routes: Qatar Airways (layover in Doha); Turkish Airlines (layover in Istanbul); Emirates (layover in Dubai).
- Yes, traveling in Sri Lanka is safe! Especially if you have entrusted yourself to a professional tour operator like Tramundi who works with local guides who know the places and the local culture; follow their travel advice in Sri Lanka to spend a peaceful holiday.
- Sri Lanka boasts some of the most spectacular beaches, with Unawatuna and Mirissa offering golden sands and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and relaxing. Arugam Bay is a surfer's paradise, while Trincomalee and its coast provide magnificent opportunities for snorkeling and whale watching during the season.
- Sri Lanka, officially known as the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island nation located in South Asia. If you are looking for it on a map, you just need to find a country whose shape is similar to that of a teardrop and is located near India: for these reasons, Sri Lanka is nicknamed India's teardrop.
