Media digest: Sri Lanka explored, the best of what the papers say - Pledge Holidays Travel Blog

The Huffington Post UK extols our wildlife, food and beaches—“Herds of serene elephants … golden palm-fringed sandy beaches … where scuba divers can explore underwater coral gardens”, while “rarely seen blue whales can be spotted on seafaring day trips in the south”. *** Our own Sunday Times hikes the Devil’s Staircase, a 14 km route “famous for being a 4WD route with its craggy twists and turns earning its rather frightening name. It is a wonderful hike with breathtaking views of the Southern plains of Sri Lanka and the Bambarakanda falls, the highest waterfall in Sri Lanka”. *** The Himalayan reports that Himalaya Airlines, a Nepal-China joint venture, has launched twice-weekly Kathmandu-Colombo direct flights after a break of 28 years. *** The Times of Oman reports that “the ancient Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka has far too much diversity to cover in a single long weekend … vast tea plantations … luxurious beaches … as well as an area in the central part of the country known as the Cultural Triangle”. *** The Australian highlights an elephant safari on a recent cycling tour of Sri Lanka, and that “when you’re cycling around the island’s interior, a 3m-tall Elephas maximus — 5 tonnes of unpredictability — is not something you really want to encounter”.
