Sri Lanka: Exploring Ravana’s ancient realm

Cash-strapped Sri Lanka plunged into its worst financial crisis in over seven decades in 2022. Thanks to the growing number of tourists, the island nation is bouncing back.

We spent five days in Sri Lanka two weeks ago, driving up and down the island, covering almost 70 percent of its territory. Our tour spanned over 1,000 kilometres, including hills, beach spots, and heritage and religious sites.
