Sri Lanka was recognized for its extraordinary diversity and the emergence of Jaffna in the north as a culturally distinct area. The list highlights untouched coastlines, centuries old Hindu temples, and the cooling highlands like Horton Plains. T and L also specifically mentioned the sailing expeditions from Mirissa and the expansion of luxury safari villas like Kotiyagala near Yala.
