Location
Located 18 miles (29 km) off the south-eastern tip of the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka lies about 400 miles (645 km) north of the equator.
Colombo is the commercial hub and the largest city whilst Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte, is the capital of Sri Lanka. The country is a total land area of 25,332 square miles (65,610 square km).

Land and Climate
The pear-shaped island, which was known as Ceylon until 1972, is 272 miles (438 kilometers) long and 140 miles (225 kilometres) wide at its broadest point. Largely flat and rolling, the terrain is distinguished by a cluster of mountain peaks, the highest of which is the 8,281-foot- (2,524-meter-) high Pidurutalagala in the south-central portion of the country. Many rivers originate from the mountains flowing down towards the sea.

Sri Lanka is a tropical country with distinct dry and wet seasons. Marco Polo considered Sri Lanka the finest isle which you will also agree having explored the country's attractions.
