The National Geographic Channel, the world renowned television
Channel in an exclusive report on best places to visit has categorized
Sri Lanka as the second best place to visit.
Out of the 20 countries, many well-known tourist destinations are
listed far behind Sri Lanka. Hong Kong occupies ninth place, Bali
seventh, Mauritius fourth and Zanzibar third.
In an exclusive report on Sri Lanka, commentators, Times Travel
Writer Jil Crawshow and Editor of Wandertrust Magazine describe Sri
Lanka as 'definitely a best place to visit'.
Opening the commentary with the first world traveller Marco Polo's
description of Sri Lanka as the "Jade Pendant in the Indian Ocean" the
commentators say Sri Lanka is exactly what it is and Sri Lanka has got
basically everything for a tourist.
Commenting about the beaches, they say Sri Lanka has hundreds of
miles of amazingly undiscovered beaches and coral marine life, and it is
one of the greatest islands for beaches.
The commentators also say Sri Lanka has a wonderful history and
culture in a really small space and describes Sigiriya as a place not to
miss.
Commenting on Sri Lanka's wildlife and the availability of elephants
and leopards, they make special reference to the Pinnawala Elephant
Sanctuary.
They describe that Pinnawala was started in 1975 with seven elephants
and it has now 65 elephants and it is the largest herd in captivity. The
commentators have also mention about the food available in Sri Lanka.
They say that if anyone wants to taste spicy curry then, definitely,
Sri Lanka is the place to go. |
