Located in the Indian Ocean just south of India, Sri Lanka is an island that was a popular holiday destination. Well known for its natural beauty, Sri Lanka has stunning beaches all along its coastline, great wildlife and biodiversity and a rich culture and heritage. Sri Lanka s attributes are many. Few places have as many Unesco World Heritage Sites (eight) packed into such a small area. Legendary temples boast beautiful details crafted by artisans through the centuries. Across whole swaths of the country, that thing that goes bump in the night might be an elephant heading to a favourite waterhole. Safari tours of Sri Lanka s pleasantly relaxed national parks encounter leopards, grouchy water buffaloes, all manner of birds and a passel of primates. This book offers information on Sri Lanka and its most notable places.
