SRI LANKA ~ Map ~

... Detailed tourist map of Sri Lanka showing places of which I received so many amazing postcards over the years❤️... a guide to explore this beautiful "teardrop" shaped island surrounded by the Indian Ocean... nicknamed "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" due to its incredible natural beauty, extraordinary biodiversity as well as its precious gemstones.... the perfect place for visiting ancient ruins, hiking in the lush green mountains, the Ella train journey, trek through tea plantations, see beautiful beaches, spotting wildlife in the National Parks and so many more...
