Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean off the southern tip of India. Hill country rises in the centre, with tea estates around Nuwara Eliya and a scenic railway. The Cultural Triangle links the rock fortress of Sigiriya, the cave temples of Dambulla and ancient Polonnaruwa. Beaches lie south and east, and monsoons stagger the seasons between the two coasts.
