Sri Lanka is historically a favourite destination for British travellers, and post-tsunami visitor levels are anticipated to return to normal with visitors wishing to support the island's rebuilding work. A complete range of coastal resorts is covered for the tourist looking to unwind, whilst a variety of activities and attractions will tempt visitors to explore the interior of the island. Suggestions on places to visit include temples and shrines, the elephant orphanage at Pinnawela, botanical and zoological gardens and a pilgrimage to the top of Adam's Peak by night to watch the sunrise.
