Sri Lanka Travel Secrets

Food , my first meal was lobster. It was huge and cooked perfectly, so we ordered it 2 more times.
The soups and dips were so good, same standard as in my opinion 😊
Crab curry with pol sambol and roast paan, just too good. And we had baked crab too. My favourites were sashimi, lobster and crab dishes, and breakfasts. Spent two nights and could have spent more.

Sri Lankan Lunch packs ? Not many travellers get to eat these, for lunch packets my favourites are, Welle Kade, Galle, this is spicy, but sitting with locals and eating is an experienc. .srilanka for Colombo. They are my favourite in Colombo.

This was bought from somewhere in Baththramulla. The taste of lunch packs are out of this world 😊 Something you must try, take a chance, and try from a roadside shop.

The stay at Dune Camp, it was magical. Woke up to watch sunrise and had seaweed for breakfast 😃 Went to the dunes to spend the evening. Can you see how vibrant the colours are?
Dune Camp is by Back of Beyond, an amazing brand who helps community, takes care of the staff and the environment.
This definitely is a place you must visit!

If you love tea, would like to know more about tea, this is the place to stay Amba Estate. I thought I knew about tea, how to drink and how to make, but clearly I didnt. We, a lot of Sri Lankans ruin the taste and smell and everything about tea by the way we make it. But each to their own 😀
Amba estate was a favorite stay, they grow their own vegetables, have a farm, and there are a lot of hikes you can do in the area. The tea tasting session I had there was one of the best, I have done some really good sessions with some pioneers in the tea trade, but this was my favorite.

Food. Is. A. Reason. To. Visit. Sri. Lanka!!!
In the picture you see locally grown red rice, beetroot salad, brinjal curry, fish curry, murunga curry. This tasted heavenly! None of the hotels can match to the home cooked meals taste, it is just different.

Bathing in a place like this is a different experience!! As long as it is not prohibited, and safe and clean it is good to try. And make sure to not to pollute by using shampoo and chemicals.

Why should I be your travel agent? 😊

1. I don’t just recommend you a hotel, most of the time my recommendations are based on my experiences with my stays at hotels.

2. I’m just a phone call away, if you need to change your plans while you are traveling in Sri Lanka or if you want to book a holiday, you can reach me on WhatsApp, email and calls or on any of the company’s social media platforms.

3. I have 5 star rating in all my reviews in all social media platforms. And if you know how the reviews work you would know that one 4* review or a bad review can take you to 4.9 rating.

4. I recommend you places you must go to see, beautiful sunsets, sunrises, to have the best seafood or to party till dawn, and often I include at least one Sri Lankan meal in your itineraries.

5. My drivers and guides go that extra mile to make your holiday once in a lifetime one, they are flexible with times, caring and most importantly very knowledgeable.

6. Almost all the routes, experiences I recommend you to try are, tried and tested by myself and the team.

7. If you are looking to explore the country and experience true Sri Lanka, I will surprise you presently with our recommendations.

8. We don’t just get you a vehicle, in fact I do not sell or promote you the most luxurious vehicles, I promote you a guide or a driver who is great at what you are looking for. We have guides who are great with kids and families, some are ready to let you party till dawn and take you everywhere you want, some are the best if you want to know the history and wildlife and everything about Sri Lanka.

9. And by booking your trip with Sri Lanka Travel Secrets, you help a small business and bring smiles to all our faces.

10. And check out the reviews and pictures to see what we have done, gone through to show you our island paradise.

Trincomalee, East coast of Sri Lanka.
The pictures are from a trip I did in 2019. The beaches are beautiful as you can see, clear waters. Eating delicious seafood, watching sunsets and snorkeling in Pigeon Island were my plans and that’s all what we did. It gets warm during the day, so we slept as we didn’t want to go out and later we went out. It was my 3rd snorkeling trip in Pigeon Island. First time I remember we swam next to baby sharks, this time there were turtles and so many fish. You at least need 3 nights in Trincomalee itself. 😊

Please drop me an email if you are interested in visiting Sri Lanka, I would love to help you plan your trip.

Villa Saffron was created by renowned architect C. Anjalendran, a beautiful 5 bedroom villa in Hikkaduwa.
Large living spaces, simple yet modern architecture makes this space a hideaway. Stayed for two nights and loved my stay. Very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and the beautiful gardens and the beach! Perfect place for travelers who look for a calm and quiet stay.

Spectacular Kuamana National Park!
Dry season is from March to July, and that’s the best time to visit this park. Less touristy and photogenic and full of bird life. You can spot all the animals like in Yala, as this was known as Yala East.
