Sri Lanka: The Sacred and the Sensuous
8 September to 25 September 2027
Visit Sri Lanka, an island with seductive beaches, magnificent landscapes of lazy lagoons, fertile wetlands, abundant forests, imposing mountains, wildlife, rivers, and waterfalls. You will see unique ecosystems, inspiring heritage sites from famous cities of ancient Buddhism to colonial forts, all bristling with a vibrant culture of fine arts and crafts, music and dance, grand festivals and a people of diverse ethnicity, philosophies, and faiths. Prepare your senses for overload. The landscape is one of utter beauty; the radiant-green rice paddies and forests of swinging palm trees contrast with endless beaches of ivory-coloured sand, and an ocean of rich turquoise waters studded with pristine coral reefs.
