Gallery Info
Sri Lanka, often called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, is a breathtaking travel destination for photographers and travelers alike. Its landscapes offer an incredible variety, from misty highlands and rolling tea plantations to golden beaches and lush rainforests. The central highlands, particularly around Ella and Nuwara Eliya, feature dramatic mountain vistas, cascading waterfalls, and endless green slopes, making them perfect subjects for landscape photography.
The coast around Tangalle is among the most beautiful in the world. You will seldom find beaches lined by more palm trees. Places like Silent Beach and Hiru Beach offer some of the most picturesque coastlines on the island.
Sri Lanka's wildlife is equally captivating. The island is home to numerous national parks like Yala and Udawalawe, where you can encounter elephants, leopards, and an array of exotic bird species in their natural habitats.
