General Information About Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, located southeast of India and northeast of the Maldives. The island is home

to many cultures, languages and ethnicities. The majority of the population is from the Sinhalese ethnicity, while a large

minority of Tamils have also played an influential role in the island's history; Christians in both groups are recent converts

who have kept the traditional culture. Moors, Burghers, Malays, Chinese, and the aboriginal Vedda are also established

groups on the island.

Sri Lanka's documented history spans 3,000 years, with evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at

least 125,000 years. It has a rich cultural heritage and the first known Buddhist writings of Sri Lanka, the Pali Canon, date

back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic

importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to the modern Maritime Silk Road.

Etymology of Sri Lanka

In antiquity, Sri Lanka was known to travellers by a variety of names. According to the Mahavamsa, the legendary Prince

Vijaya named the land Tambapanni, because his followers' hands were reddened by the red soil of the area. In Hindu

mythology, such as the Ramayana, the island was referred to as Lankā. The Tamil term Eelam, was used to designate the

whole island in Sangam literature.

Ancient Greek geographers called it Taprobana or Taprobane from the word Tambapanni. The Persians and Arabs referred

to it as Sarandīb from the word Cerentivu. Ceilao, the name given to Sri Lanka by the Portuguese Empire when it arrived in

1505, was transliterated into English as Ceylon. As a British crown colony, the island was known as Ceylon; it achieved

independence as the Dominion of Ceylon in 1948.

In 1972, its formal name was changed to "Free, Sovereign and Independent Republic of Sri Lanka". Later in 1978 it was

changed to the "Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka". As the name Ceylon still appears in the names of a number of

organisations, the Sri Lankan government announced in 2011 a plan to rename all those over which it has authority.

History of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has more than 2,550 years of continuous written history by means of the Mahawansha, and was also mentioned

in several ancient Indian texts. One of the most famous is the Ramayana, in which the island, which was referred to as

Lanka, was the island fortress of the king Ravana. And over many centuries Sri Lanka has had many names.

The Sinhalese arrived in Sri Lanka late in the 6th century BC, probably from northern India. Buddhism was introduced

beginning in about the mid-3rd century BC, and a great civilization developed at such cities as Anuradhapura and

Polonnaruwa. Other notable but relatively more recent kingdoms are Dambadeniya, Yapahuwa, Gampola, Kandy and

Jaffna Kingdoms.

Dreams Wishes&Sanyog Gupta Foundation

For us charity begins at home. We would soon launch a charitable organisation name

“Sanyog Gupta Foundation”. The foundation will help out all waifs and stray

children, needy people for living and other health related financial aid.

We made an announcement of this foundation in an interview to the newspaper here in

New Delhi, India. I have been thinking of opening a foundation like this for long and

when I am settled mentally and financially I decided it's the right prospect to announce

our foundation, because for us charity begins at home.

The charitable sector is an imperative and captivating one, economically socially and

culturally. Every one of the world's great religions emphasises the moral imperative of

charitable living. There is no code of ethics, whether religiously based or secular, that

does not mandate the strong to look after the week, shares Sanyog.

We have made a start by planning, organising, directing, staffing and controlling and

soon the project will hit the ground. We would be glad to be given any help from the

corporate world to raise funds for the foundation.

Marco Polo described this as the finest island of its size in the world. Only here can you gaze on palm-fringed beaches and a lapping Indian Ocean, then tropical grasslands and soaring mountain peaks, all within a few hours' of travel. Ruins of ancient kingdoms across the land give insight into a sophisticated ancient society and2,500 years of heritage. Sri Lanka today thrives through its deep-rooted traditions and a personality that draws so many back time and again.

Getting ThereSri Lankan Airlines, Emirates, and Qatar airways offer one-stop flights from the UK via the Gulf to Colombo. Those travelling from the USA, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and the Far East can catch a connecting flight to Colombo from many of the main cities in Europe, the Middle East or South East Asia.

Getting AroundBarter for a 3-wheeler at around Rs.40 per km or take set price taxis for longer journeys. Soak in the spectacular scenery of a train journey. Buses are also cheap and regular. Roads seem chaotic chauffeur-driven cars run at similar cost to independent car hire, and are probably safer. Bicycle hire is only really suitable for the quieterroads.

When to go Sri Lanka's tropical climate generally offers warmth and sunshine throughout the year. Figures vary widely from region to region – as the rainfall map shows. The south-west monsoon (Yala) brings most rain during May/June. The north-east monsoon (Maha) brings rain between December and February. There are also inter-monsoon rains, usually in October/early November.

Day 02: Sigiriya – Polonnaruwa – Sigiriya (B)After breakfast, visit Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Originally called Sihagiri (Remembrance Rock) and later dubbed Sigiriya (Lion Rock), the rock mass is actually the hardened magma plug of an extinct volcano that long ago eroded away. Pocked with natural cave shelters and rock overhangs - supplemented over the centuries by numerous hand-hewn additions and modifications – the rock may have been inhabited in prehistoric times.

Popular myth says that the formation served royal and military functions during the reign of King Kassapa (AD 477–495), who allegedly built a garden and palace on the summit. According to this theory, King Kassapa sought out an unassailable new residence after overthrowing and murdering his own father, King Dhatusena of Anuradhapura. Evening visit Polonnaruwa Ancient city.

The history Polonnaruwa goes as far as 6th century BC when a minister of the king Vijaya (From whom the Sinhalese race was born) established a town called “Vijitha Grama” on the area now called Kaduruwela. This is also the place for the famous “Battle of Vijithapura” between the Great King Dutugamunu and the Tamil invader Elara in his effort to re-unite the country under one Sinhalese King. This area was gradually developed as an influential agricultural town with large irrigation tanks and complex waterways built by various kings who ruled from Anuradhapura.

Day 03: Sigiriya – Kandy (B)After breakfast, proceed to Kandy. En route visit Dambulla Rock Temple & spice Garden at Mathale. The rock of Dambulla is the centre of a Buddhist cave-temple complex established in the 3rd century BC and occupied continuously until today.

The cave-temple complex is established on an inselberg or erosional remnant of importance in the study of the island's geological history.

The site also includes evidence of human occupation going back to the prehistoric period, including the megalithic cemetery at Ibbankatuwa. On the way to Kandy stop at Spice Garden.

The wooded hills were converted to hill after hill of Ceylon Coffee and following the devastating "coffee rust" (a leaf blight - Hemileia vastratrix) in 1869 to seamless hill plantations of CeylonTea.The very same British Colonialist rulers of Ceylon established the Peradeniya Botanic Gardens that contribute, today, towards the enlightenment of concepts of floriculture conservation, birdlife conservation, butterfly conservation, biodiversity and sustainability of the island of Sri Lanka: 5% of the school children of Sri Lanka visit the Peradeniya gardens every year.

Will I have trouble with the language barrier in Sri Lanka? You'll find some degree of English available in most tourist areas, or at least a friendly, English-speaking local willing to help out when you order food or purchase tickets. The language difference is rarely an issue and will not affect your enjoyment of Sri Lanka.

You'll encounter more language difficulties in remote places off the beaten path for sure. Even in places with little or no English, you'll be able to point or charade your way through with a little patience.

Are bed bugs a serious problem in Sri Lanka?The recent resurgence of bed bugs affected North America far worse than it has Sri Lanka. Ironically, Westerner travelers are bringing bed bugs to Sri Lanka from home, rather than the other way around.

Once considered only a problem for backpackers staying in the most budget of places, bed bugs are a serious and costly problem found even in four-star hotels. With a little vigilance on your part, you can avoid coming into contact with them and ultimately avoid spreading the pests.

Is Indian currency accepted in Sri Lanka?It's all due to Indian bank regulations making it a more or less 'closed' currency just like the Lankan rupee. And sadly, in this case it's better to use a strong currency as in-between or use a debit card of an Indian bank... Correct, banks in Sri Lanka are not allowed to change Indian (and Pakistani) Rupees.

What will be the benefits of visiting Sri Lanka ?There are lots of benefits in visiting Sri Lanka. First, it is a great place to regroup during the vacation after a very hectic lifestyle. It also provides the best way to be connected with nature with all the eco-tourism going on. Touring Sri Lanka, you can get the first-hand taste in the culture which is very vibrant and most of all awe-striking. These are just a few of the many benefits that I can list.

What kind of clothes should be worn ?It actually depends in where you are , religious places have a strict protocol when it comes to clothes where people should cover themselves up. However, other than that you can wear almost anything that goes with the warm climate , sundresses, shorts , t-shirts and sandals are some of the clothes that you can wear to fight of the heat.

Ayuruvedic Medicine, can I get any access to it ?Sri Lanka boasts a very ancient medicinal system that can be used by almost anyone, lots of spas offer treatments as well as Ayuruvedic hospitals, special Ayuruvedic packages, getaways are offered by hotels.

What is the Size of the island?At 65,525 square kilometres (25,299 Sq. miles). Its length from northernmost point at Point Pedro to Southernmost point at Dondra Head is 435km (271 miles) while the greatest width is 240km (149 miles).

What is the voltage type in Sri Lanka?Sri Lanka's electricity runs at 230-240V, 50 cycles AC. Round, three-pin sockets are normally used although you may occasionally find square three-pin sockets as well.

Is a VISA required to visit Sri Lanka?U.S. citizens visiting Sri Lanka must have either an Electronic Travel Authorization or a visa to enter Sri Lanka. U.S.

citizens will require an approval notice from Sri Lanka's Electronic Travel Authorization System, passport, onward/ return ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. The Electronic Travel Authorization System is for tourists, short term business travellers and transit passengers and is available online.

I have never been to Sri Lanka and Have no idea where to start. What do you recommend?What do you hope to see and experience during your trip? Our destination specialists will make recommendations based on your travel preferences. Most travelers incorporate Colombo, Kandy, Habarana, Dambulla, and/or Polonnaruwa . However, many also include visits to the tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya and beaches of Hikkaduwa / Galle.

Is Sri Lanka a safe country?For decades, Sri Lanka was battling political unrest. A civil-war between Tamil insurgents and the Sinhalese government almost destroyed the tourism industry. The riots have ended and a peaceful environment has been restored. As with any international travel, be aware of your surroundings. Do not leave your valuables unattended on the beach, the balconies or terraces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people travel in a group?The majority of our hop-on hop-off tour groups consist of between 10 and 15 people, with a maximum of 24 (including driver and Tour Guides). Having a small group size not only means we can offer a more personalised service, but it also gives us access to more destinations, activity and accommodation options.

Absolutely, that's the beauty of small group travel. You will make friends quickly and your Tour Guide will become a good source of support to you along the way too!

What does the tour leader do?Each hop-on hop-off tour group is accompanied by a western or local tour leader (or both!) to inform, enthral and entertain you with facts, stories and unbelievable insight into the local culture.

They will also book your accommodation and recommend top notch things to do every step of the way. Our guides are consistently one of the most highly-rated features of our trips - just ask any traveller of ours! They will become a good friend and source of support to you.

What will I eat whilst in Southeast Sri Lanka?Western food is sparse outside the main center so come open-minded about eating local food. At our stops we will recommend tasty restaurants but when you get into local villages and home stays be prepared to eat simple local fare, with maybe the odd wild-card ingredient (which is part of the fun!).

Supermarkets are not the norm but we will point out places where you can stock up on food for the day. Depending what you eat, you can spend US$5 - 15 a day on food.

When is the best time to travel?It depends on your destination, activities and season of travel. Our destination specialists will recommend certain travel times after learning more about your preferences. The favorable months are usually December - March for the west coast and south coast, and from April - September for the ancient cities and the east coast.
