Well done Alfoso!

Thanks, Peter, for the publicity.

We're trying hard to get geocaching off the ground in Sri Lanka.

One of the main objectives for 2008 is to place another 50 caches over the island, in all main and secundary tourist places. This should give a chance to all visitors to combine a interesting and relaxing holiday with some geocaching action.

 

BTW, I was thinking to extend the website to the surrounding countries, but while developing this, I received further requests from adjoining countries.

Finally, the website is going cover the whole South and Southeast Asia region:

India

Nepal

Maldives

Bangladesh

Bhutan

Laos

Myanmar

Thailand

Malaysia

Indonesia

Singapore

Vietnam

Philippines

(... hope I did not forget any).

 

Preparations are being made. IT WILL NOT DUPLICATE the info on geocaching.com (too much), but tend to provide additional info, like

- a general map with cache locations ( so you know in what part of the country the caches are concentrated)

- (wherever possible) a detailed map of the cache area for each cache

 

With over 600 caches hidden in the region, it will take some time to cover all in detail. First to come are the two 'main' places: Thailand and Singapore.

 

Maybe it's time to think about a dedicated forum to, catering for the whole mentioned region.
