"Slowly slowly" — our first lesson, and our faithful companion for the rest of the trip.
Our route took us from Colombo through the island's cultural highlights, on to the picturesque tea fields of the highlands, and finally back south to relax on wide, open beaches. Our driver, Mr. Sarat, along with the hiking guides we met along the way, proved to be true experts on their country. History, the economy, current politics, the social fabric — we could ask him anything and always got a thoughtful, detailed answer. Our hiking guide, meanwhile, had endless knowledge about flora, fauna, and tea cultivation. Really fascinating! It's what truly helped us understand the country.
Die Reise selbst startete mit einem 2-tägigen Aufenthalt in einer sehr schönen landschaftlich idyllischen 5*-Anlage, von wo aus die ehemalige Königsstadt Polonaruwo und der Sigiriya Rock zu erkunden war.

Great company from our driver, who always tried to make the best possible for us. The support from the German agency before, during and after the trip was super.
Yup & Gerda, WuppertalParticularly the variety of activities (safari, train journey, hike in the Thangamalay Reserve, climbing Adam's Peak, etc.) impressed us, as well as the selection of accommodation, ranging from simple and quaint in the Misty Mountains to the upscale bungalow, e.g. in Kottawatta Village.
Dirk B.The organisation and putting together of the trip leaves almost nothing to be desired. With two overnight stays at Udawalawe National Park and four on the secluded beach of Mangrove Beach Tangalle, we still had a wonderful time to relax after the many experiences, sights and trekking tours.
Veit and Kathrin, WiesbadenWe came to rather „untouristic“ places, which was always a highlight for us. This is how you get to enjoy a really completely different picture of Sri Lanka. … If you are looking for an all-inclusive carefree package, you are certainly in the best hands with Sri Lanka Trekking.
