Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's topography is characterized by a diverse landscape that includes the Central Highlands, plains, and coastal regions. The Central Highlands, located in the south-central part of the island, form its rugged heartland, with the highest peak, Pidurutalagala, reaching 2,524 meters (8,281 feet). This area features a high plateau running north–south for approximately 65 kilometers (40 miles), with mountain ranges extending toward notable peaks like Adam's Peak (2,243 meters or 7,359 feet) and Namunukula (2,036 meters or 6,680 feet). Flanking these central ridges are lower plateaus such as the Hatton Plateau to the west and the Uva Basin to the east, characterized by rolling hills and deep valleys. Descending from the highlands, the terrain transitions into plains that range between 30 and 200 meters (98 to 656 feet) above sea level, with the southwestern plains displaying a dissected appearance due to gradual merging with the Central Highlands. The coastal belt encircles the island and features scenic sandy beaches, coastal lagoons, and, in certain areas like the northeast and southwest, rocky cliffs and bays formed by crystalline rock stratification.
