North West or Trincomalee in the East coast. Or meet the aboriginal people of
Sri Lanka known as 'Veddhas' and learn their ways of life which haven’t changed
for millennia; only very few countries in the world can offer this sort of an
assortment in such a small land. Sri Lanka is one of the best places to see the
Big Four: the elusive Sri Lankan Leopard, Elephant, Bear and Whale, whether in the
Wilpattu National Park in the north central or the Yala National Park in the
south.

through foreign invasion and jungle growth, to await the day that they once
again would reveal the magnificence to
the world as they do today. Sri Lanka is definitely a land that the discerning
traveller should not miss.
