Description
The seventh edition of Bradt's Sri Lanka is a comprehensive guide to this diverse and compact island nation. Written by Philip Briggs, a highly regarded guidebook writer, this updated guide provides detailed coverage of every aspect of Sri Lanka, from its idyllic tropical coastlines to its mist-shrouded tea plantations and historic colonial homesteads.
Alongside in-depth sections on major beach resorts, archaeological sites, historic towns, and national parks, this guide introduces adventurous travellers to lesser-known sites and emergent destinations that were previously inaccessible. From the massive dagobas of Anuradhapura to Dambulla's exquisitely painted cave temples, Sri Lanka offers a wealth of exciting places to explore.
The guide also provides unparalleled advice on wildlife-viewing opportunities, including the chance to see Asia's densest elephant and leopard populations, as well as fine whale and dolphin-watching, and 450 bird species, including 30 found nowhere else in the world. With extensive hotel and restaurant listings, this guide is the perfect companion for anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka.
