Sri Lanka goes by a few names all through its historic past. Until just recently, the tropical isle country was officially named as the Dominion of Ceylon. The traditional Arabs once called it Serendip, and though the name did not catch on rather well, it has however spawned a very enjoyable English word - serendipity, coined by Horace Walpole through the title of a story, "The 3 Princes of Serendip", the protagonists of which "were often creating findings, accidentally and wisdom, of things they were never in search of". And this phrase outstandingly describes what you should quite expect when making Sri Lanka your traveler’s destination. This pearl-shaped tropical isle country in South Pacific Rim, which is 31 kilometers off the south coast of India, has a population of roughly 20,000,000 inhabitants in all of its 65,610 sq. Km. Land area. Sri Lanka is an height of rich variety in its physical compactness - a collective variety which stamps an indelible signature in practically every aspect of Sri Lankan way of life. On the amazing geographical features like wetlands, lagoons, tropical rain woods and brooks, copiously encircled by a broad expanse of picturesque beaches and clear as crystal waters at the fringes ; on the sundry native flora and fauna ; and clearly, to the wealthy cultural variety on the ladies and men - a nicely absorbed mixture of ethnic grouping, faith, holidays, customs and conventions, and food, detailed with the island's continual run-in with foreign traders and immigrants through its colored background. Sri Lanka is the gaff of 6 Archeological Earth Heritage Web sites by the UNESCO that characterize brilliantly the nation’s deep cultural history, specifically: The traditional metropolis of Sigiriya The holy town of Anuradhapura The traditional city of Polonnaruwa The golden church of Dambulla The old city of Galle and its fortifications The holy town of Kandy There is in addition a 7th complete world Heritage Site - the Sinharaja Forest reserve, that's accordingly elected as an Ecological World Heritage Web site through the UNESCO.
