The Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka is renowned for its white sand beaches and vast wildlife-filled jungles, though it has an incredibly rich cultural heritage, too. I had endless opportunity for adventure after arriving in Colombo on the west coast, travelling south around the coast and looping back up to the country’s Cultural Triangle in the Central Highlands and North Central Province.
Anuradhapura, Kandy and Dambulla are just three of Sri Lanka’s exceptional UNESCO World Heritage Sites and there’s much to learn about the mystic connection between Buddhism and Hinduism.
