“Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit, Sri Lanka ist ein spannendes, vielfltiges Land mit viel Natur und Kultur. Es ist fr jeden etwas dabei. Tempel, Regenwald, Safari, Hiking, bernachtung im Dschungel, Meditation bei einem Mnch (persnliches Highlight), Kandy und Ella, Strand, Ayurveda Treatment u.v.m.... Wir haben viel gesehen und unser Fahrer/ unsere Agentur ist auf alle Wnsche eingegangen und hat versucht uns alles zu ermglichen um uns eine unvergessliche Reise zu bescheren. Es war wirklich toll mit einem privaten Fahrer unterwegs zu sein und nicht in einer Gruppe. Die Unterknfte, besonders das Oak Ray Regency in Kandy und das Athgira River Camp in Udawalawe haben uns gut gefallen. Der letzte Aufenthalt im Tangerine Beach Hotel hat ins persnlich nicht so zugesagt und wir haben auf 4 Tage verkrzt und stattdessen eine Nacht in Colombo gebucht. Alles in allem knnen wir die Reise und die Reiseagentur Hot Tourism sehr empfehlen!”
Wonderful trip to Sri Lanka
