The New York Times recently Ranked Sri Lanka as No 1 of the 31 places to visit in 2010.

At the  time, Daily Candy, a luxury-living website, has devoted its entire travel issue to Sri Lanka , telling readers that “you’ll be roaming the south for adventure (elephant safaris), history (colonial fort towns, old Buddhist temples), rain forests (and mountains and tea plantations), and gorgeous beaches. It’s pretty much the best place we’ve ever been.”
