A Beautiful Sri Lankan Experience We had very high expectations for our trip to Sri Lanka and we were certainly not disappointed! From the commencement of our adventure at Colombo Airport to the final farewell, we were well looked after by the operator provided by Bookmundi. Our tour guide and chaperone, Ruvin, was excellent and his cheerful and accommodating manner ensured that every day went smoothly and was full of interest. Thank you, Ruvin. Our experience: Hotels: All of our hotels were of exceptional quality with very attentive staff. We were ‘half board’ and the food was very tasty with many selections, both local and international. Landscapes and Scenery: Magnificent and diverse. Very dramatic. Mountains: Traveling through the mountains was so enjoyable and the rich fauna kept us engaged all of the time. History: Sri Lankan culture goes way back and the cultural sites are well worth exploring. Sigiriya Rock: Wonderful to see at sunset. Mountain train ride: A must do excursion with lots to see along the way, including tea plantations and agriculture. Kandy: Alluring at sunset. You must visit the temple. Beaches: Along the south and west coast we briefly enjoyed some lovely beaches, but be careful about where to swim. Did I mention the elephants? OMG! The elephant sightings in two reserves were simply spectacular. To see these beautiful creatures in their habitat, interacting with each other under their own terms was so special and we just couldn’t get enough of them. Luckily there were many to see and their bond and affection for each other was just mesmerizing. If for no other reason, Sri Lanka is worth visiting just to get up close to these beautiful animals. Finally, as we said our fond farewell to dear Ruvin, we shed a tear and yet smiled as well knowing full well that we are taking home with us some lifelong, wonderful memories. Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Don’t hesitate, just do it! Thanks to everyone who made our experience so special. Tony and Criselda. Florida USA April 2024.
Our 20-day tailor-made trip to Sri Lanka was truly unforgettable, largely thanks to our wonderful guide Lahiru. We had the pleasure of visiting some of the country's most famous national parks, including Wilpattu and Yala, and Lahiru's extensive knowledge of the wildlife, regions, and local cultures made the experience all the more enriching. He went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was a success, and we couldn't have asked for a more helpful and accommodating guide. Throughout the planning process, Lahiru was extremely communicative and clear in his explanations of everything from airport pickup to lodging to costs. The lunches provided were delicious, with a warm lunch on the first day and quintessential 'boxed' lunches on subsequent days. The dinners were all buffet-style, but with plenty of options, including vegetarian. Overall, we feel that our trip was worth every penny and would jump at the chance to do it all over again. Thank you, Lahiru, for an incredible Safari adventure!
