Traveling around Sri Lanka with Ceylon Expeditions
November, 2023
After a couple day trips from a cruise ship, we knew we wanted to see much more of Sri Lanka. So, we worked with a local tour company to do our travels around this island nation. Everyone warned us that driving was not advisable and we are certainly glad we took their advice and hired an experienced driver.
Ceylon Expeditions was wonderful as they helped us plan an action packed two week adventure. Our goal was to see National Parks, wild animals and birds. We didn’t go too heavily on cultural experiences as we would be seeing lots of temples in other countries.
Once we landed, we met our trusty driver and guide, Nadeera, and we were off running. Yes, his driving made me very nervous, he was on the phone more than I liked, but that seems to be the norm in this country. Sometimes you just have to click your seatbelt, suck it up and try to enjoy the ride.
Since we visited so many locations, this post will be mostly a picture show of some of our highlights.
If we were doing Sri Lanka again, we would take it a bit slower. We covered so much ground and were exhausted when we left. It was a fantastic experience and we are so thankful to Nadeera for all of his wisdom and love for his country. It certainly made our stay quite enjoyable.
Hello ,
