Experimenta mi Sri Lanka en 10 días - La Perla del Océano Índico

I absolutely loved my trip to Sri Lanka it was incredible from start to finish. Ash made the whole experience so enjoyable, and we saw so many amazing things, especially the elephant safari!! It was truly unforgettable and a trip I’ll cherish forever.

An incredible trip enhanced by an incredible guide. Me and my whole family had such an incredible time, creating the most special, life lasting memories. I would recommend to everyone looking to go to Sri Lanka 100%.

We have just returned home after the most incredible trip to Sri Lanka, thanks to Ashan our wonderful guide and Leyon our amazing driver. Ashan organised a bespoke itinerary, having listened carefully to our interests and expectations. Ashan organised a mix of history and culture with fascinating visits to temples, ancient sites, Sigiriya Rock Fortress and a beautiful performance of traditional dancing and drumming. We also requested opportunities to see wildlife and weren’t disappointed. We were rewarded with the sighting of a Sloth bear and many other indigenous animals and birds at Wilpattu National Park. We also had the most wonderful time watching the gathering of over a hundred elephants grazing in the evening light at Minneriya NP. A most memorable experience! Ash also arranged a sunset boat trip to Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary where we were delighted to see kingfishers a plenty and so many other species of birds to tick off in our bird book! Ash demonstrates and is keen to share his extensive knowledge of Sri Lankan birds and wildlife but also plant, trees and flowers too. In Tangalle, we were privileged to witness a sea turtle dig her hole in the sand, lay her eggs, cover them and return exhausted back to the sea. We especially enjoyed a train ride through the tea plantations and misty mountains from Nanu Oya to Ella. In Nanu Oya, Ash also made it possible for us to visit some family graves dating back to the 1880s, a special moment for our family. We finished our tour with a visit to Galle and a stay in Colombo. Ash always ensured everything ran smoothly, was a great communicator and took great care of us. He was always calm, professional and adaptable. We could not have had a better experience, all thanks to Ash and Leyon. We would love to return one day, and absolutely would choose Experiential Traveller again and recommend them to all our friends.

Ashan put together a bespoke itinerary for our family, mixing culture, nature, adventure and relaxation. From our first interaction with Ashan, he listened to our wishes to tweak the itinerary, and we met Ashan over Zoom before we left the UK. He provided a wonderful chauffeur/guide (Nalin) who took really good care of us. Ashan was also very attentive while we were in Sri Lanka, checking in to make sure everything was going well, and taking the time to drop in to meet us in person in Habarana. We could not have asked for anything more, and we had a fabulous time – thank you, Ashan!!

If you want to see Sri Lanka, then using Experiential Traveller, specifically Ashan as your tour guide, is a MUST! My husband went to Sri Lanka on a school trip, and Ashan was one of the guides. While there, he and my husband began talking about coming back to see the country, he so obviously loves, with me. He said he could put together any type of trip to any area in the country, and that was no lie. No matter what you want to do, Ashan can arrange it. My husband and I returned to see the country of Sri Lanka focusing on the culture. I am unable to walk long distances, and Ashan created an itinerary that accommodated my needs. In creation of the trip, Ashan came up with wonderful hotel choices and day trips to temples and sanctuaries, that it was almost too hard to decide. However, I now realize that no matter what my choice would have been, it would have been a good one. Ashan arranged a private car and the the driver, Harith, was very safe. That being said, the main purpose of this review is to express how much Ashan took pride in his country, and how grateful I am that we got to share the experience with him. Not only is he knowledgeable about the history of Sri Lanka, he is also a conservationist, which meant we learned so much about the traditions, the animals, and how it all ties together. Again, if you are thinking of visiting Sri Lanka, contact Experiential Traveller and Ashan to guide you.

Ash, who is a government certified tour guide- was such a great guide in Sri Lanka! We met him in Colombo and traveled to Dambulla, Habarana (for an elephant safari), Sigiriya, Anaradhapura and Kandy. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend booking with him if you want to learn and understand Sri Lanka. Sthuthi! 🙏🏻

Ash was an incredible guide. He kept all 24 of us safe and engaged. I highly recommend him! He was very knowledgeable and helpful to everyone on our adventures.

We went on a packed three day excursion with Ashan to see the Dambulla Rock Temples, Elefant Safari, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Anuradhapura, Ranceli Spice Gardens and Kandy. With every visit he was thorough with the context and history of each space. He was able to properly prepare our group for each visit and answered any questions that we had during the tours. Highly recommend taking this tour if visiting Sri Lanka!

This is such a beautiful country! Loved learning about the history and traditions. Ash was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable! We were a large group and Ash took care of everything like a pro!

We were a group of 24 from USA travelled to Sri Lanka for a destination wedding. After the wedding, we did a two night excursion to Habarana in a 50 seater charter bus. Ashan (Ash) was an excellent, knowledgable guide who made it perfect for everyone. He found is 6 jeeps in Habarana for 1/3 the price of what was quoted by Nature Trails at the Cinnamon Lodge. Ash was very knowledgable about the locality, the history of each heritage site, plants, animals, crafts, kings, time periods etc. He kept good accounting of expenses and entrance tickets. I would recommend Ash to any local or foreign visitor visiting Dambulla, Sigiriya, Anuradhapura and Kandy. I have no doubt that he is knowledgable in other destinations in Sri Lanka too. Thank you Ash.
