Travellers

Sri Lanka, in their words.

  • Sri Lanka · December — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Karthik Rao, Indore

  • Sri Lanka · December — travellers

    The route sold it — Colombo, Kandy, Ella in 8 days without me planning a thing. Galle Fort came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Yash Reddy, Chennai

  • Sri Lanka · December — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

    Vikram Ghosh, Ahmedabad

  • Sri Lanka · December — travellers

    First group trip for me, and Land in Colombo on day one took the nerves out of it. Galle Fort was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

    Pooja Rao, Chandigarh

  • Sri Lanka · December — travellers

    Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Pinnawala is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.

    Neha Mehta, Mysuru

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 2) — travellers

    Travelled solo and never once felt like the odd one out. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Uday Kulkarni, Vadodara

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 2) — travellers

    The route sold it — Colombo, Kandy, Ella in 8 days without me planning a thing. Galle Fort came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Already looking at their Kaziranga & Meghalaya trip.

    Arjun Qureshi, Mumbai

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 2) — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. Ramboda is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Lakshmi Bedi, Indore

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 2) — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Free day in Mirissa was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

    Shreya Chawla, Delhi

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 2) — travellers

    First group trip for me, and Land in Colombo on day one took the nerves out of it. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Nikhil Mehta, Lucknow

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) — travellers

    The route sold it — Colombo, Kandy, Ella in 8 days without me planning a thing. The pace was honest — a couple of early starts, and they told us in advance rather than springing them. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Zoya Agarwal, Gurugram

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Galle Fort is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Already looking at their Himachal Short Circuit trip.

    Jaya Rao, Gurugram

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) — travellers

    Went in with low expectations about travelling with strangers and came back with a group chat that is still going. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Ananya Agarwal, Delhi

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) — travellers

    7 nights was exactly right — long enough to settle, short enough to take off work. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

    Nikhil Nair, Noida

  • Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Sahil Kapoor, Coimbatore

  • Sri Lanka, Unpacked — travellers

    Went in with low expectations about travelling with strangers and came back with a group chat that is still going. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.

    Reema Desai, Ahmedabad

  • Sri Lanka, Unpacked — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the October batch. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Already looking at their Spiti · Christmas & New Year (Affordable) trip.

    Varun Singh, Surat

  • Sri Lanka, Unpacked — travellers

    First group trip for me, and Land in Colombo on day one took the nerves out of it. Galle Fort is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Dhruv Joshi, Surat

  • Sri Lanka, Unpacked — travellers

    7 nights was exactly right — long enough to settle, short enough to take off work. Little Adam's Peak was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Only note: carry more cash than you think you need.

    Jaya Ghosh, Bengaluru

  • Sri Lanka, Unpacked — travellers

    The route sold it — Colombo, Kandy, Ella in 8 days without me planning a thing. Galle Fort came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.
