Wow what a trip! 

Myself and 38 other Rory’s Travel Club members (including 20+ solos) have just returned from an amazing trip to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has SO much to offer - the culture, history, scenery, beaches and hospitality were all amazing!

I put a post on Facebook a few days ago saying that I preferred Sri Lanka to Thailand, India, UAE, & I 100% mean it!  

Some of the Highlights:

Highlights from the first couple of days included Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla Cave Temple and a visit to the local village. The hotel stays, especially at Liyya Water Villas was top class!

We then did the train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella which is one of the most scenic train rides in the world - with stunning views of tea plantations and misty hills. 

Next, we were onto Yala National Park’s Safari – where we encountered elephants, alligator, leopards & many more beautiful animals.

Our last 3 days were spent on the beach at the amazing Cinnamon Day Beruwala Hotel. During this time we also did a beautiful River Boat Ride, visited a Turtle Hatchery and managed a grouo night out at a local beach pub!

I would definitely go back! 

Overall, the itinerary was jam-packed, but members had the option to opt in and out of activities. Each day offered something unique, and having everything organised for us took the stress out of it.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of visiting Sri Lanka.
