Overview
Come join us this March for a fascinating travel photography trip to Sri Lanka – The Land of Small Miracles. Despite being a small island, Sri Lanka contains an astonishing 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites! As the late Sir Arthur C Clarke remarked: "The Island of Sri Lanka is a small universe; it contains as many variations of culture, scenery, and climate as some countries a dozen times its size... I find it hard to believe that there is any country which scores so highly in all departments - which has so many advantages and so few disadvantages." Indeed the country is identified with lovely beaches, beautiful landscapes, impressive ruins, a vibrant culture and not to forget, charming and friendly people.

This trip will be led by our resident instructor, Jino Lee. Having shot several commercial projects in Sri Lanka including the 2009 Kandy Esala Perahera festival for the Sri Dalada Maligawa Temple (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic), Sri Lanka Tourism Board and a recent photo exhibition in Hilton Colombo Hotel, Jino is no stranger to Sri Lanka.
