Veyangoda Local Culture Tours 2024/2025

“A truly memorable experience that we will treasure forever. Not only was our first trip with the tour operator, but our first group tour. We feel that the operator really did an incredible job. We covered at lot of ground and managed to see so much of Sri Lanka. The days were jammed packed, but all the hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and had a pool or bar you could relax in at the end of your day. I have so many favourites, but my best experiences were climbing Lion Rock, the optional elephant safari, optional grade 3 river rafting, the cycle ride, walking at Horton Plains and the optional lake boat ride at Koggala.”

“A well thought through trip agenda that gave us a great chance to see a wide variety of aspects of Sri Lankan life and culture. This covered wildlife, temples, tea plantations, city and village life, with several opportunities to meet Sri Lankan families. The trip was well supported by our tour leader and his team.”

“I had a thoroughly enjoyable time from start to finish and would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see and experience Sri Lanka. The people were warm and welcoming and we were often to hear children call out ' hello, how are you ' along the way when cycling or rafting. I think it must be the first phrase taught in school. Great variety of country and activities covered. Bus journeys passed by quickly with plenty rest stops for refreshments. We were looked after by the bus driver, helper and guide Roshan who would start the journey each morning giving a clear, helpful ,informative explanation of the day's activities and local customs. We travelled in February and had good weather except for one afternoon when torrential rain came down just as we were on the Elephant Safari. Lots of crazy careering about in jeeps and soaked as we had the roof open ( watch your cameras & phones stay dry ) but had a great if bumpy time. Was rewarding to see the elephants enjoying playing in the rain in the freedom of a natural habitat.”
