Sri Lanka is a nation full of cultural treasures, natural beauty, exotic beaches and wonderful people. During the recent past this country has remain mostly untouched from tourists. A long ending civil war was the main reason affecting the tourism industry in Sri Lanka. But slowly and slowly Sri Lanka is rising on world map as a tourist destination. Last year it was rated at the number one tourist destination by New York Times.

You can also realize the beauty of the Sri Lanka by the fact that when one of the leading bollywood super stars Salman Khan participated in an award function, held in Sri Lanka, he was so fascinated by the beauty of Sri Lankan beaches and other tourists destinations that he asked one of his producer to change the shooting location of his upcoming movie to Sri Lanka. I am not sure if the shooting of that movie has begun but definitely Sri Lanka will make its debut in bollywood soon and this will further increase the tourism in the country.

1. Opportunity to experience wild life

2. Sri Lanka food

4. Sri Lankan beaches

When to visit: Sri Lanka weather is mostly tropical and the country see a very distinct 2 monsoon (rainy) seasons. Frist monsoon season called Yala monsoon is from May to August and second monsoon called the Maha monsoon season is from October to January. The Yala monsoon brings rains to the southwestern half of the country while the Maha monsoon is responsible for rain in North and East par of the island.

Normally December to March is the peak tourist season in Sri Lanka when majority of the tourists visit the West coast of the country, however one can visit the country from April to September as well to visit the south coast and hill country. For Buddhist followers July August is the best time as they can attend the 10 day long festival at temple of Sacred Tooth Relic.

However since this is a beach climate country you can enjoy the Sri Lankan beaches in the off season as well and enjoy the less crowd, cheaper air fares and hotel accommodation etc.

I’ve also posted some wallpapers and pictures of Sri Lanka, I am confident this will prompt you all to visit this place.

The Sydney Opera House has become, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney’s best-known landmark and international symbol. The base for the building was started in 1959 – years before the designs were finished. It took four years to design by Danish architect Jorn Utzon and by 1962 the designs were finalized and construction began. In total it took 14 years to build and was officially opened on the 20th of October 1973 by Queen Elizabeth II.

Utzon’s radical ‘sails’ design stretched engineering knowledge to the limit and imposed some unfortunate limitations on its functions, largely because the government insisted it house four halls, not two as he had planned originally. It cannot, for instance, house a grand opera because its opera stage is too small. The Sydney Opera House is nonetheless a fascinating building and heart of the city’s cultural scene. It opened with a concert hall, an opera theatre, a drama theatre and a recital hall, as well as restaurants and bars.
