Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, located south of India. Its population exceeds 20 million. The capital is Colombo. It has a cosmopolitan structure consisting of Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims. Those whose path leads to Sri Lanka must see the Botanical Park in Peradeniya. The famous "Benjamin" tree is located here. The fame of the Benjamin tree comes from the fact that it covers 2200 square meters on its own. At the same time, you can see many animals up close and even take photos. We recommend having your breakfast with the tropical fruits unique to the country.
