National Geographic - World's Best Island - Sri Lanka

The words mean "resplendent isle," and the natural charms of this pear-shaped island in the Indian Ocean that nearly kisses the southeast tip of India are indeed splendid.
• Peopled mostly by Sinhalese, the result of waves of Indo-Aryan emigration, the island is mostly flat, with gentle mountains in the south.
• The Portuguese and the Dutch once waged proxy wars here; by 1802 the island was a British colony.
• This century saw bloody terror activities, as the Liberation Tigers from Tamil minority, fought the government for mono ethnic Independent land for Tamils.
• In 2009 the Tamil Tiger Terrorists were vanquished.
• Today peace prevails and tourism Blossoms.
