With Buddhist remnants, ancient cities and natural splendor, Sri Lanka is one of the finest
destinations in South Asia.
On our arrival to the country, we landed at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake and headed to Negombo. Negombo is a beautiful beach resort located by a beautiful lagoon of the same name on the west coast of Sri Lanka. Earlier it was a popular trading port and was ruled by the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British. Hence besides the scenic beaches of Negombo, it is also home to historic spots like a fort built by the Dutch and the churches and buildings structured by the Portuguese, during their rule. Without doubt, Negombo is often called "Little Rome" due to the existence of several Roman Catholic churches in its area.
