  Whether you're planning your first trip, seek inspiration or simply have an urge to discover more about this fantastic island, Explore the Beauty of Sri Lanka – Heritage, Culture and Nature is a personal guide that takes the reader on a visual journey by rail, road and tuk-tuk through the bustling streets of Colombo, to the hills and valleys of the tea region. Filled with interesting facts, our guide, Lina Nicander, offers first-hand, local knowledge and insider insight for travelling around the capital and beyond to north and south of Colombo. Beautiful images of magnificent beaches, breathtaking nature and the finest colonial hotels complement useful addresses and travel tips for easy planning. From the country's unique mix of architecture, including the celebrated tropical modernist style of Geoffrey Bawa, to historic and cultural highlights, Explore the beauty of Sri Lanka – Heritage, culture and nature has everything you need to discover and enjoy this beautiful land.
  
  The book is divided into four parts: Colombo explores the capital, with colonial walks and a look at the island's unique architecture, including Geoffrey Bawa's tropical modernism. Then on to Negombo, to its vibrant fish market and fantastic beaches.
  
  North of Colombo takes you through the Highlands by train to the tea region, as well as the UNESCO sites Kandy and Sigiriya Rock before visiting an elephant orphanage. South of Colombo looks at the unique mix of Portuguese, Dutch and British influences in Galle Fort before travelling on to south coast beaches, the mangrove swamps and Yala National Park.
  
  The final section offers travel tips, such as getting around the Island and visa and travel information, as well as useful addresses and links for where to stay and what to do when planning your trip.
