Country side

Much of Sri Lanka’s countryside seem like paintings come to life. In the misty highlands, the rolling hillsides are covered in carpets of green and cotton wool skies add romance to the quaint colonial towns. Botanical gardens are heavy with the heady fragrance of Frangipani, Hibiscus and thousands of other tropical floras. Pomegranate and Mangoes shine like jewels in orchards while golden sheaves of paddy encrust miles of terraced fields.

 
Cuisine
Sri Lankan food is generally equivalent in terms of spiciness to South Indian cuisine, yet many spicy Sri Lankan preparations are believed to be among the world's hottest in terms of chilli content. There is a liberal use of different varieties of scorching hot chillies while native Sri Lankans are born into this cuisine and develop a healthy tolerance to spicy food, many visitors and tourists to the country often find the spiciness excessive.
