Sri Pada, the island’s sacred mountain, has the imprint of Buddha’s foot. If you are lucky enough to see the mountain’s refection from the top in the horizon at sunrise on a clear day it is certain that prosperity will follow. A temple in Kandy, in the central hills, enshrines the tooth of Buddha, it is believed. Ride a moterbike to Horton’s Point known as the “end of the world”. Take a train tthrough the tea plantations to Nuriwa Eliya or visit archilogical ruins in Annuradhapura. Sri Lanka welcomes you to explore its culture, its land.
