There are so many incredible historical sights to be explored on your holidays to Sri Lanka; the ancient fort of Sigiriya is an incredible rock fortress which has been declared a world heritage site whilst Galle is a classic example of a European fortified city in southern Asia. In the lush tropical heart of the island, Kandy was a stronghold of the Sinhalese kings until it fell to the British in 1815 and became a centre of the tea trade. But its cultural heritage far pre-dates the British tea drinkers: in the Dalda Maligawa, or Temple of the Tooth, one of Buddha's teeth is kept as a sacred relic, putting it among the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world. High among the hilly tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya, the tiny hill resort of Hatton makes an excellent base for exploring the surrounding country. There is certainly plenty of culture to keep you enthralled on your holidays to Sri Lanka.
