LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION
Internet Resources
Untitled Document
Ever since the World Wide Web grew out of the old US military Arpanet it has become a rich resource for travellers. You can research your trip, hunt down bargain air fares, book hotels, check weather conditions or chat with locals and other travellers about the best places to visit (or avoid!).
A good place to start your explorations is the Lonely Planet website. Here you’ll find everything from the Thorn Tree Forum, where you can ask questions before you go and dispense advice when you get back, to WorldGuide, which provides useful predeparture information.
Other good websites:
Art Sri Lanka - A gateway to Sri Lankan high culture, this site covers art history, contemporary art and religious art from various traditions.
Crazy Lanka - A cheerfully silly website with lots of parodies of current news events. There are lots of in-jokes but some amusing gems nonetheless.
InfoLanka - This has links to recipes, chat lines, news, organisations, nature, entertainment and more.
Sri Lanka Tourist Board - The official tourism site, with tons of information. It’s a good starting point.
Sri Lanka Web Server - This has lots of links to Sri Lankan newspaper and magazine websites.
