Serendib, the Arab name for Sri Lanka, means full of
surprises and this island is certainly that, as every corner you turn reveals
something new, a glimpse through Sri Lanka’s heritage reveals ancient civilizations
that were well ahead of their time and a heady mix of cultural influences
shaping a modern Sri Lankan culture that has Buddhism at its core. It is little
wonder that Sri Lanka has no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites
waiting to be explored.

colonial heritage which has a more recent history, from the 10th to
the 20th centuries.

provides one of the most rewarding reasons to visit this country. From arts,
crafts, architecture through music, dance, food and drink to sport, Sri Lanka’s
culture is distinctive and inviting.
We will discuss about each of these sections in details in
future posts.
