The new sixth edition of Bradt`s Sri Lanka is the longest & by far the most comprehensive guidebook ever published to this alluring island nation, & now

Includes:: a brand new, detailed, full-colour wildlife section. Freshly researched & completely rewritten by Philip Briggs, one of the world`s most experienced & highly-regarded guidebook writers, it the new Bradt guide incorporates detailed coverage of every aspect of this diverse & compact l&, from the idyllic tropical coastline to the misty forests of hill country. Not only does the book provide in-depth sections on all major beach resorts, archaeological reserves, historic towns & national parks, but it also introduces adventurous travellers to a host of intriguing lesser-known sites, along with many emergent destinations inaccessible for decades prior to the end of the civil war in 2009. Extensive hotel & restaurant listings, covering everything from exclusive boutique hotels to shoestring homestays, have been compiled from scratch rather than updated from historical information, with each entry having been cherry-picked by the author based on his personal inspection of hundreds upon hundreds of properties countrywide. More than 70 newly-drawn maps cover all towns & resorts of note, as well as the main national parks & their surrounds. Sri Lanka has enjoyed a high level of political stability & safety since the civil war ended in May 2009, encouraging a tourist boom in the south, & the gradual opening of the north & east to independent travel. Beach holidays are an all-year attraction, while a host of fantastic Buddhist-affiliated UNESCO World Heritage Sites ranges from the massive dagobas of Anuradhapura, built in pre-Christian times on a scale to rival the Egyptian pyramids, to the exquisitely painted cave temples of Dambulla. Wildlife-viewing opportunities abound, & this guide provides unparalleled, illustrated advice on making the most of these. Asia`s densest wild elephant & leopard populations are protected in the island`s extensive network of national parks, & there`s also fine offshore whale & dolphin-watching, & a bird checklist of 430 species including more than 30 endemics.
