My week at an Ayurvedic retreat

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country that brings tourists from all over the world for the surf, tea gardens, blue whales and lest we forget, the hospitality. Tourists who come here can choose to unwind at Bentota, go whale watching or camping in pursuit of the leopard at Yala National Park. I can’t get enough […]
