Why Budget Doesn't Mean Basic

Sri Lanka on a Budget from Mangaluru

Sri Lanka is the neighbour that most Indians still haven't visited — which makes it one of the region's best-kept secrets. A teardrop island the size of Tamil Nadu containing everything: Sigiriya's ancient rock fortress rising 200 metres from jungle, tea plantations that roll over cool Nuwara Eliya hills, the UNESCO heritage city of Galle with its Dutch fort and surf scene, wild elephants in Minneriya National Park gathering in hundreds at dusk, and beaches on every coast from flat Arugam Bay breaks to quiet Mirissa coves. Sri Lanka does cultural immersion and beach relaxation in equal measure, at a pace and price point that no other Indian Ocean destination matches.
