Known for its
beaches, the unique ancient attractions of the
Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka, 27 kms off the
South Coast of India, are located in its
interior in the small area of the Cultural Triangle
only 179 Kms
from Colombo International Airport.
The Cultural
Triangle, bounded to North by
the ancient sacred city of Anuradhapura, to South East by
the ancient capital of Polonnaruwa, with
famous Sigiriya rock fortress and rock temple caves at
Dambulla in the middle and Kandy
with the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic to South,
boasts
7 UNESCO
declared world heritage sites panning
2500 years of history.

taken by ourselves during our travels. This
year in 2010 we visited Yapahuwa and
Sithulpawwa
Rock Temples perched on volcanic outcrops in
the deep South
Why have the UK owners of Special Offer
Holidays Com taken such trouble to show you Sri Lanka in such
detail?
For a decade Sri
Lanka has been a second home to our UK directors, who each year escape the cold British
winter to this sun
drenched paradise tropical island. This has
given us the opportunity to travel the length
and breath of Sri Lanka visiting many
fascinating places off the beaten track.
As our
recommendations are based on personal
experience, in all our 22 Sri Lanka travel sites, you will find only
Sri Lankan destinations which have been
personally visited and hotels which we have
stayed overnight at. All images used on the sites have, without exception, been taken during these travels and are as another tourist would have taken them.
We invite you to view Undiscovered Sri Lanka as we
have seen it through our own eyes..
