    our guide Athula was an amazing man..he shared his interest in Sri Lankan culture and kept us informed of all our options. He kept on smiling no matter what and was patient and very informative ...made many helpful suggestions and was sensitive to the needs of everyone in the group. Loved Siguriya and all the gorgeous views.

    This was my first group travel experience even tho I’ve traveled quite a bit on my own.But I believe that having a knowledgeable leader - such as Athula - gave us a trip that was as interesting as it was fun.The group size, which was 12, allowed us to get to know the others and, hopefully develop long friendships.

    Asked on November 28th, 2024

    Do you organise international flights from Melbourne or is that completely up to us? This looks quite a good tour but price is much more expensive in March?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      Our adventures do not include the cost of international airfare, which allows our travellers to join the trip from their desired location. You will need to book your own flights to the starting city of your adventure.
