Tour Destinations in Sri Lanka
Colombo is a fascinating city, not only for its comfortable blend of Eastern and Western culture, but also for its mixture of past and present. It is the commercial capital of the country and attractions include Buddhist and Hindu temples, numerous churches, the old parliament building, the zoo, museums, and art galleries.
As Sri Lanka’s hill capital, Kandy is perhaps also its most beautiful town. It is 488 metres above sea level, and next to Colombo, Kandy is Sri Lanka’s most visited place. The focal point of the town is the golden-roofed Dalada Maligawa, where the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha is enshrined.
The varied attractions in Sri Lanka’s South make it one of the countries most rewarding areas to visit and experience Sri Lanka at its most traditional. Stretched out along a great arc of sun-baked coastline the area remains essentially rural, where the laid-back pace of life still revolves around coconut farming, rice cultivation and fishing while the string of temples and giant Buddha statues that dot the coast provide a constant reminder of the importance of Sinhalese traditions.

No. 1. Destination Highlight: Play cricket at test match and first class venues
Gracing a test match or first class cricket venue is usually a privilege reserved for elite cricketers, but in Sri Lanka your young cricketers can experience a little part of what it is like to play at a test match venue in a country where cricket is its most popular sport; something that will stay with them throughout their cricketing careers.
