The island of Sri Lanka conjures up images of tea plantations, white-sand beaches backed by coconut palms, and statues of reclining Buddhas. Whilst the pearl-shaped isle does offer all these things, the real Sri Lanka is much richer, and Footprint’s fully updated 6th edition will help you get to the heart of this incredible island.
