Private Swap – Sri Lanka

Ramparts of Galle Fort

Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known as Ceylon before 1972, is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres off the southern coast of India. As a result of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia.

It has also been a center of the Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times and is one of the few remaining abodes of Buddhism in South Asia, as well as being a bastion of Hinduism. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population; Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, form the largest ethnic minority. The island also boasts the first female Prime Minister in the modern world, Sirimavo Bandaranaike. The country is famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts, rubber and cinnamon - which is native to the country. (source)
