Sri Lanka - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in Sri Lanka due to civil unrest, and terrorism.

Sri Lanka, a teardrop-shaped island nestled in the Indian Ocean, boasts a diverse geography. Its terrain features a mountainous central region, surrounded by coastal lowlands. The Central Highlands, home to the country's highest peak, Pidurutalagala, are characterized by plateaus, valleys, and escarpments. The coastal plains, encompassing most of the island, are relatively flat and fertile, suitable for agriculture. Numerous rivers, including the Mahaweli, Kelani, and Kalu, originate in the highlands and flow radially outwards, nourishing the plains. The coastline, stretching over 1,300 kilometers, is fringed by lagoons, estuaries, sandy beaches, and mangrove swamps.
