Lgbt travel sri lanka
An almond-shaped island dropping south of the subcontinent and into the Indian Ocean is the independent nation of Sri Lanka. Located southwest of the Bay of Bengal, Sri Lanka holds a key position in pan Asian, African and Oceanic trade routes and yet remains inexplicably under-travelled.

Its beaches are on par with Thailand’s; its prices pleasingly low and its unique flavours deeper and more beguiling with every meditative breath.
