The documented history of the country dates back 3,000 years, but there is evidence of settlements in what is now Sri Lanka as early as 125,000 years ago. From the British colonial period until 1972, Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon. After a 30-year civil war that only ended in 2009, the country has increasingly opened up to tourism in recent years. The aim of this series is therefore to introduce Sri Lanka and the neighboring Maldives. In this first episode, we begin in central Sri Lanka – with the tea-growing region, the temple complex of Polonnaruwa, and the rock fortress of Sigiriya. ] Tips and sights in the highlands of Sri Lanka mentioned in this video: Sigiriya – Lion Rock Kaudulla National Park – Elephant Gathering Site Tea plantations in the highlands of Nuwara Eliya Mahaweli River Kandy Temple of the Tooth Train from Kandy to Ella Nuwara Eliya & tea factories Dambulla Sigiriya scenic flight Ancient City of Polonnaruwa Kaudulla National Park This series was supported by: http://www.cinnamonhotels.com/ http://www.srilankan.com/ === My accommodation recommendations worldwide: https://www.back-packer.org/de/top-ho...
