Sri Lanka lies in the Indian Ocean off the
southern tip of the coast of India. The island is a proximal
65.610 sq. km. The coastline gives way to lowland plains,
growing coconut and rice. In the mid country rubber vies with
gems, while green carpets of tea clothe the central mountain
ranges, reaching heights of some 2.432 meters.
The average temperatures are

season.

the north-east.
