Lankan Getaways

  We had a beautiful few days of trekking the knuckles range. We learned so much about the Knuckles Mountain range while climbing to one of the highest peaks. Niro took... read more us to some very rare places in the knuckles mountain range.

Niro is a great guide who spots all the animals and gives you great explanations of the flora and fauna. We felt very safe and learned so much. Would highly recommend it. The night stays were great, so welcoming, friendly people with great food and lovely accommodation in beautiful settings.

Thanks so much to Niro and all of the Lankan Getaways team!

  Unforgettable ! - We did the hike in the knuckles with two more friends, it was incredible.

  My sister and I had an amazing hike yesterday in the Knuckles Mountain range!

Niro was our guide. He is a very gently soul, funny and clearly experienced in... read more what he does. He goes above and beyond to help you get up and down the mountain in a safe fashion. Before the hike even started, Niro demonstrated his care for us by stopping at a hospital to get my wrist the medical care it needed from an injury the day before we met.

I recommend this tour to all nature & fitness lovers. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Those who enjoy a physical challenge will love this one! You’ll also be given a rice/chicken lunch box, fruit and snacks along the way!

Niro, hope to see you again!

  I had the most amazing 3 week trip ever to Sri Lanka ( January 2020). The island really does have so much to offer - nature, amazing beaches and countryside,... read more beautiful wildlife, the most incredibly interesting historical and religious sites, wonderful food, good choice of accommodation to suit all budgets... I could go on and on! Undoubtedly the best way to see the country is to hire a guide and/or driver - it's the fastest way to cover a lot of ground and see all the sites but more importantly, it's how you are most likely to gain a true insight into the Sri Lankan way of life and the lovely Sinhalese people! I spent much of my time with our guide from Lankan Getaways. Love and appreciate their hospitality and service . Together with Chaminda, fantastic driver, we travelled around much of the country and had so many good times on the way. Although we also used trains and buses a fair amount of time too (as they are quite an experience, super cheap, and not to be missed!). One of the most memorable evenings was in a little hut on a beach in the south, sharing a huge barbecued fish, drinking, making music and singing with a bunch of fishermen who were about to head off to sea for 3 months! The country really does deserve a flourishing tourist industry and the people work hard to ensure tourists of all kinds will have a good time. I went over there on my own, but came back with fantastic memories and a couple of friends for life! If anyone would like details of Sri Lankan Getaways, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me or do look out for them on their FB / Instagram handle . Grateful to Lankan Getaways for the mixed itinerary where I could explore the buses, car, tuk tuk as well as train and enjoyed travelling in Sri Lanka to the fullest.
