Summary: Excellent Guide for the Independant Traveler
Comment: This well-organized, chatty yet meaty guide book is all you need to assist you on a trip to Sri Lanka.
We went to Sri Lanka in the high season (February, when the place is full of Germans and other Europeans) and the only reservation we made in advance was two nights at the Galle Face Hotel (see Columbo chapter, where to stay, top end), a fabulous old relic of colonial architecture. With the help of the Lonely Planet, we "winged" everything else: train tickets to Kandy, car rental, dive trips & bungalows on the southwestern beaches. Sri Lanka is a diverse, fabulous place to explore, and the Lonely Planet made it super easy.
Great historical chapter "Facts About the Country" makes for good reading while you're waiting for your cold lassi to come to the table.

Summary: Lonley Planet Sri Lanka is an Excellent Resource.
Comment: This book goes into deep detail about Sri Lanka. Being a Sri Lankan myself resideing in Australia. I found this book defintely worth taking on your trip. The best thing about the book is, that as new devolpements come, the Lonley Planet website allows you to upgrade (free of charge) the information in it, by you downloading the new revised pages. As long you keep the book updated the book will always have the latest information. This is not-only this guide book, but for all of Lonley Planets guide books. Normally I would give this book 4 stars, but for this feature alone 5 stars is worth the effort.
Rating: 4
Summary: A trusted resource
Comment: A good guide from a good company. Not too much has changed from the previous edition though - there are some more detailed maps of Colombo.
