YoungShip Sri Lanka is a non-profit organisation founded under the auspices of the renowned Youngship International and created for the benefit and support of the younger members of the maritime and shipping industry. Despite being a relatively small island, Sri Lanka is endowed with a diverse collection of landscapes, climates and natural features. Sri Lanka’s famous beaches have been enticing visitors for many years. However, the rest of the island harbours many more idyllic vistas. The central highlands are carpeted with emerald tea plantations interspersed with occasional waterfalls. Cool climates, misty views, and quaint estate bungalows are a throwback to bygone eras. The cultural triangle in the centre of the island holds a certain magic, with ruins from several ancient kingdoms, majestic tanks, hidden rock caves, and ancient sacred temples, revealing the fascinating and almost unbelievable ancient architecture, art, and engineering.
