Insight Guides: Sri Lanka
Gavin Thomas
Insight Guide Sri Lanka focuses comprehensively on this scenic
island with its deceptively rich cultural past. Full-color photos
throughout combine with the lively text to help you get under the skin
of the destination – its people, ancient civilizations and Buddhist
temples and architecture, as well as its places. Our “Best of Sri Lanka”
section outlines attractions and activities not to be missed, while
features by local writers cover subjects from the obvious to the
not-so-obvious: art and architecture, the pleasures of a good rice and
curry, Buddhists and Tamils, but also Kandyan drumming, the lowdown on
Ayurvedic therapies and the art of Sri Lanka’s muralists. Thirteen
Places chapters then take you on an inspirational trip, from the capital
Colombo to the beaches of the West Coast; the palaces and temples of
Kandy to the ancient ruins of the Cultural Triangle; and the tea
plantations of the cool Hill Country to the lesser known eastern and
northern regions – with plentiful maps to show you the way around.
Finally, the Travel Tips cover all your practical needs, with a wealth
of information and listings.
