The journey begins in the dynamic Indian Ocean port of Colombo where we will stay in a charming colonial era villa and explore the thriving street markets, ancient Buddhist temples and the contemporary cool café and shopping scene. Travelling inland by rail, a feat of 19th century British imperial railway construction that offers a nostalgia packed train ride from the steamy jungles of the coast to the colonial era hill stations of tea country, we will explore the island’s interior staying in a boutique plantation house of a working tea estate. From an eco-jungle lodge in the wilderness of Gal Oya National Park we will walk with indigenous Vedda people to a forest waterfall for sundowners and take a boat safari in search of swimming elephants. Sitting in God’s Forest stylish Koslanda will be our base for forest treks to find wild coffee, pepper vines and cinnamon and culinary adventures into local cuisine between visiting the largest rock cut Buddha statues on the island and the dizzy heights and spectacular views of Lipton’s Seat.

  • Guide to Locating Photographs of Colonial Ceylon
    A Guide to Locating Photographs of Colonial Ceylon ! Compiled by Benita Stambler ! American Institute for Sri Lankan Studies November 2014! ! This publica,on documents collec,ons of photographs of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) taken in the late nineteenth and early twen,eth centuries. It is hoped that it will lead to the increased use of these valuable holdings, some of which are available for viewing online. Although the guide’s coverage is not comprehensive, it includes collec,ons in a wide range of ins,tu,ons worldwide, as well as a few private collec,ons. While there are some important holdings in Sri Lanka, many of the more substan,al collec,ons are elsewhere. Photographs produced by professional photographers and firms were oGen sold to tourists and other travelers. Moreover, Sri Lanka’s climate is not conducive to the preserva,on of paper, and some of the photographs and glass plate nega,ves that !remained in the country suffered damage. The main sec,on of this guide describes the various collec,ons. It is followed by a list of books that include Ceylon photographs, and a select bibliography of secondary sources on photography in colonial Ceylon. An appendix gives a detailed descrip,on of the !collec,on at Plâté in Colombo. AISLS wishes to thank the guide’s compiler, Benita Stambler, Coordinator of Asian Art at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida. We are very grateful !for all the hard work she put into this effort. !AISLS also wishes to thank Daniel Bass for his work edi,ng the guide for publica,on.
