Sri Lanka: Trails of the Ancient Kingdom - 10 Days
Sri Lanka
|
Dec 25 - Jan 3, 2019
The itinerary was excellent as it was varied - however I had mentioned to Sandun that due to relatively recent spinal surgery I did not want to do major hill/rock climbing - this was overlooked. We were instructed by our guide Thilak to climb Lion Rock and trek the Horton's Plains trail. I did manage both excursions however was really worried (freaking out) when climbing to Lion Rock - I was terrified that I would fall. Luckily I had a very helpful guide on the Horton's Plains Trek who helped me negotiate the tricky bits. We did not do the last trek as I felt that I might not make it to the top.
Everything about the trip was memorable - so many wonderful sights were seen - though I guess we really enjoyed the Safaris.
Thilak also added in a few excursions which were good - in particular the Village Visit. Though with these excursions we felt pressure to buy products.
We found the Sri Lankan people to be friendly and welcoming.
Hi Margaret,
Thank you very much for your review. I have added Sigiriya Fortress because it is a must visit highlight in Sri Lanka and I am sorry you had inconveniences climbing. I have added two walks since you have mentioned you were fine with 2 or 3-hours walking.
However, I am really happy that in the end, the trip was a memorable experience for you. I wish you the best of luck in future travels.
Best Regards,
Sandun.
