Sri Lanka is widely known as the “Teardrop of India” due to its distinct geographical shape and close proximity to the Indian subcontinent. Separated by the narrow Palk Strait, the island appears like a teardrop just below India on the map. Beyond its name, Sri Lanka offers diverse travel experiences, from beaches and wildlife to cultural sites and hill regions, making it a popular destination for Indian travellers.
