Points of interest inSri Lanka
A Buddhist country at heart, there are plenty of temples toexplore away from the coast, many of which are hugely impressive, not tomention culturally significant. The Temple of the Tooth in Kandy is perhaps oneof the most famous, due to the fact that an original tooth of the Buddhahimself is housed here. Just behind the temple is the 257 acre UdawattakeleForest Park, where you can see (and hear) a huge variety of birds and monkeys.
The monastic complex in Anuradhapura, Ritigala, is anotherreligious landmark, which is important historically. This is where the herbs,flowers and plants used in Ayurveda medicines were first grown.
