Vast swathes of Sri Lanka's central highlands were

Vast swathes of Sri Lanka's central highlands were converted to lush tea fields during the British colonial era. Many of these tea plantations remain today, producing the world-famous Ceylon Tea. Apart from producing the exquisite beverage, these fields also provide stunning views, and one of the most popular spots to see them is the observation point of Lipton's Seat. Take in the panoramic views, the fresh mountain air and bright sunshine as you survey the beauty around you, much like the old Scottish tea baron Thomas Lipton did years ago. #Repost Thank you @pradeep_gamage for the beautiful capture.#LoveSriLanka #SriLanka #nexttrip #missingtravel #travelsrilanka #traveldaily #passionpassport #srilankatravel #contentcreator #touristdestination #srilankatourism #travelmagazine #visitsrilanka #travelgoal #beautifulplanet #travelinspiration #srilankaphotography #passportcollective #condenasttraveller #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #exploresrilanka #wonderlustsrilanka #visitsrilanka #thingstodoinsrilanka #srilankatravel #travelexperience #traveldestination

The Japanese Peace Pagoda, situated on a rocky hillside between Galle and Unawatuna, was built with the help of Japanese monks to serve as a beacon of peace for people of all nationalities and creed. The Rummassala Hill, where the Peace Pagoda is situated, is the subject of many legends, the most famous being that it is a chunk of the Himalayas, dropped by the demi god Hanuman while he was flying over the island during the epic battle between Rama and Ravana.

The creativity and mesmerizing skill of the great

The creativity and mesmerizing skill of the great craftsmen of old live on today in a number of artefacts and ruins found throughout Sri Lanka. The “Sandakada Pahana”, also known as Moon-stone, is one such artefact that holds a significant place in our culture. The intricate design of the Sandakada Pahana has undergone many changes over time, and has distinct differences depending on the period it was built in. The stone carving is usually positioned at the bottom of a staircase or entrance and symbolizes the cycle of Samsara. It can be seen in ruins from the latter stages of the Anuradhapura period, while an evolved version can be seen in ruins from the Polonnaruwa period. Look out for these beautiful carvings the next time you visit the historic sites of Sri Lanka.#Repost Thank you @_godless_heathen_ for the stunning capture.#LoveSriLanka #SriLanka #nexttrip #missingtravel #travelsrilanka #traveldaily #passionpassport #srilankatravel #contentcreator #touristdestination #srilankatourism #travelmagazine #visitsrilanka #travelgoal #beautifulplanet #travelinspiration #srilankaphotography #passportcollective #condenasttraveller #srilankatoday #travel #StayConnected

The “Dara Lipa” is a firewood hearth made of clay that is still used in traditional kitchens, although it may be a rare sight in a city home. A number of Sri Lankans still prefer cooking on this hearth, as it gives a smokey flavour to our local delicacies. It is also a rather economical option, as the firewood, dried leaves and coconut shells needed to fuel the hearth can be found in nature. If you have the opportunity to see a Dara Lipa in action, you will notice that all meals are cooked in earthen pots, known locally as Hatti Mutti.#Repost Thank you @pradeep_gamage for the lovely capture.
