Fondly dubbed a tropical paradise, the allure of Sri Lanka is in its diversity. From train rides to the hill country where the old-fashioned train trudges on tracks made by the British, golden sands and picturesque beaches, temples, and castles of cultural importance, to wildlife parks, there is much to see and do in Sri Lanka. You are limited only by the amount of time you have to spend here. It is a great place for a romantic retreat as you can be within 15 minutes of a town but feel as if you are completely on your own, living in your own little paradise.
