Mumbai, July 11, 2019: Abundant wildlife, superb culinary pursuits, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and stunning beaches make Sri Lanka undeniably alluring. Taj hotels invites travellers to experience the undiscovered side of the island with special offers and curated itineraries to suit every style of travel. 

Colombo: Begin your tryst in Sri Lanka exploring the hidden treasures of old Ceylon in an open jeep as you navigate through more than 20 archaeological and tourist attraction sites. Head to the Seema Malaka temple that floats on the tranquil waters of Beira Lake for a meditative experience. Or visit the most prolific and influential Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa’s residence; regaled with fascinating stories of the legend amidst his architectural marvels. Shop for the rarest blue moonstones from their primary source at the ten mines in Meetiyagoda. Round off your journey with a visit to the centuries old Galle Fort and stay at the centrally located Taj Samudra, offering enchanting views of the Indian Ocean. 

Bentota: Take a tuk-tuk ride through Bentota village and stop at local stores selling the legendary Sri Lankan tea or visit the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. It is home to the largest herd of elephants in captivity in the world - where old, rescued or injured elephants come to rest. Catch and release the Olive Ridley baby turtles back into the sea at the Kosgoda Turtle Heritage Conservation Project.
