Sparkling gems and Buddhist temples

The Temple of Tooth or Dalda Maligawa, attracts a large number of tourists because of a relic that it preserves—one of the tooth of Buddha himself. While Embekke Temples are famous for the elaborate wooden carvings devoted to God Katargama, Peradeniya Gardens offer a glimpse in the era of the reign of King Vikrama Bahu.

With all it has to offer, it is quite surprising that Indians don’t flock here regularly. With the end of the civil war, the atmosphere has changed, and hopefully so will the tourist outlook. The hotels here are quite cheap (a five-star room will set you back by merely $60 per night) and so is the food. The local cuisine ranks high on most gourmet lists. The taste of the food lingers for long even though Sri Lankan dishes are the spiciest in the world. Transportation is costly if you hire a taxi but trains and buses are affordable. Daily flights from Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai aren't too expensive either.
