Sri Lanka is the "big" destination in South Asia as the island settles back into its tranquil tropical island role. It is now possible to travel to areas, particularly in the north and northeast, which have been inaccessible for a number of years. This totally updated and revised guide provides everything a visitor needs from chilling out on the glorious beaches to exploring the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. This travel guide to Sri Lanka is designed to enable any visitor to explore the beaches, as well as the island's interior and its religious and historical associations. With details both on and off the beaten track, the book provides an insight into Sri Lanka's history, culture and religions. Full coverage is provided of all the best beaches and beach activities, including watersports, and guidance is given on planning a route around the island. The guide features all activities from wildlife watching to cycling and Ayurveda therapy. Lively, informative listings of where to stay, eat and drink, highlighting eco-friendly lodges and locally run places plus suggested itineraries and routes are also included.
