GFH has a story to tell. A fact to remember ...

Discover Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has it all to offer, the richness of its traditions & history and beauty of its people & places. From the breath taking beaches in the South and East to the beautiful lush tea plantations in the hill country. Also Sri Lanka is teeming with bird life, and exotics like elephants and leopards are not uncommon.




The beauty of Sri Lanka lies not only in the clear blue seas and golden beaches, its wild jungles and its lush mountain peaks, but also its ancient atmosphere and friendly people. There is no nation, from Egypt of the Pharaohs to modern Britain, in whose literature Sri Lanka has not at some time been mentioned by one or other of its many names, Lanka, Serendib, Taprobane, Cellao, Zellan, to name a few. History lies buried in this Island sands, and ghosts of romance lurk among its bastioned rocks.
