Yala National Park is a popular destination for safaris in the south of Sri Lanka. It has the highest population density of leopards in the world.
Sunset from the fortress city of Galle is quite a sight. Locals take their evening stroll along the old fortress walls with the mist rising from the sea. Families picnic on the palm-tree flanked open green while children fly their kites.
Sri Lanka is home to extraordinary and impressive Buddhist temples, stupas, and statues. Each major archaeological site tells the chronological ancient history of Sri Lanka.
