Long time avoided as a travel destination due to the civil war, Sri Lanka is little by little recovering its image. With mysterious temples more than 2,000 years old and 8 UNESCO World Heritage places, this country is the destination of choice for those looking for meditation and slow paced holidays. The food, not so often available outside the country is full of flavours and spices, and the colonial architecture in Colombo needs some extra time for a serious consideration.
