Description
Sri Lanka and the Maldives have attracted interest with a more stable political situation and rapid development of better tourist facilities. Magnificent mountains, beaches, history, temples, railways and wildlife are contained in a small accessible area. This handbook aims to provide the latest and most accurate travel information available, including where to go and where not to go, background information and how to get about. Route maps help in journey planning and there is a colour section on the wildlife of the islands. Background information on the culture, history and sights is provided, as well as accommodation details from luxury hotels and Rest Houses in converted colonial houses, to plantation estate bungalows and private homes in towns. There are 1190 coral islands in the Maldives group, many of which are no more than sandbanks. Sixty-seven are tourist resorts, and this handbook contains information on the ever-increasing facilities for tourists. The book is part of an award winning series of handbooks which are regularly updated. They are designed for all travellers, whatever their age or budget, and are edited by experienced and energetic travellers.
