We spent 2 weeks touring Sri Lanka. We visited national parks, ancient monuments, went white water rafting then relaxed on the a beautiful beach. We had a fantastic trip and particularly enjoyed the stunning scenery and wildlife. Our guide and driver were helpful, knowledgeable and ensured our trip went smoothly. Thanks Suranga…..

Sri Lanka as a country to tour was great with the primarily buddhist ethos making people generally friendly. Bets places were hill country – tea plantations, Ella – and national parks – elephants and wildlife. Thanks Travel with Suranga Team.
