What continent is Sri Lanka on?

It is South Asia, a region that Sri Lanka takes up due to its smallness in the Indian Ocean some miles off the southeast coastline of the peninsula. Even though the land of Sri Lanka had in many ways meandered with its neighbors in South Asia, theoretically and academically it has always been on its own. Its location was an important point in cultural and trade flow on the island and beyond. The reputation is undeniable: be it citadels in ruins as in Sigiriya or tea plantations which make you think that time has stood still-visitors feel that they should spend their holiday in a destination that has so rich an inheritance, landscapes equally diverse, and a taste for lying in between Indian and European cultures.
