Plan now for a golf holiday that's like nothing you've experienced before. The SriLankan Golf Classic to be held in Sri Lanka, October 28th-29th.


The tournament will be held at two courses, the Victoria Golf Club and the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club in Sri Lanka's lush green hill country.


The tournament is open to both amateurs and enthusiasts, with separate events for men and women.


A selection of SriLankan Golf Classic holiday packages is available. From great beaches to a rich culture, there's much to captivate the visitor.

Flora und Fauna

Sri Lankas Geschichte ist lang und abwechslungsreich, aber dennoch sind der Reichtum und die Schönheit der natürlichen Pflanzen- und Tierwelt erhalten geblieben - trotz so mancher Eingriffe des Menschen. Wem ist es schon bekannt, daß Sri Lanka das allererste Tierreservat der Erde besaß? Dies reicht schon ins dritte Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurück, als König Devanampiyatissa das erste Tierschutzgebiet ausrief; unter der Herrschaft dieses Königs war im übrigen der Buddhismus in Sri Lanka eingeführt worden. Die nachfolgenden Könige Sri Lankas befolgten streng die heilige buddhistische Vorschrift, die es einem Menschen verbot, welches Tier auch immer zu töten. Davon zeugen viele Felsinschriften, die überall im Lande gefunden werden können. Die alten Könige Sri Lankas waren sich auch der Wichtigkeit und Bedeutung der Wälder bewußt. Große Waldareale, die den Namen „Thahanan Kalle" (verbotene Wälder) trugen, wurden zu Naturschutzreservaten erhoben, während andere unzugängliche Wälder, als „Wanathas" bezeichnet, besondere Schutzfunktionen erhielten. Einige dieser ganz alten Naturschutzreservate sind bis heute erhalten geblieben, so z.B. das Udawattekelle-Reservat in Kandy und das Sinharaja- Regenwaldreservat.
