Sri Lanka Heritage and Cultural Holidays

Serendip, the arab name for Sri Lanka, means full of surprises and this island is certainly that, as every corner you turn reveals something new. A glimpse through Sri Lanka’s heritage reveals ancient civilisations that were well ahead of their time and a heady mix of cultural influences shaping a modern Sri Lankan culture that has Buddhism at its core. It is little wonder that Sri Lanka has no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites waiting to be explored.

Heritage
