Sri Lanka is often known as many other names. Some call it the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. It is also referred to as the Emerald Isle or the Tear drop Island. Whatever the sobriquets, they all befit Sri Lanka. An island off the southern coast of the Indian Peninsula, Sri Lanka is a beautiful, bountiful and romantic tourist destination, full of adventure, romance, culture, wildlife and beaches. With the Indian Ocean to the west and Bay of Bengal to the east, Sri Lanka is a hotbed of touristic sights and sounds.
