      Discovering Sigiriya by helicopter in Sri Lanka offers a breathtaking perspective of this ancient rock fortress, often dubbed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." As the helicopter ascends, verdant landscapes stretch beneath, revealing the lush forests and tranquil lakes that surround Sigiriya. The aerial view unveils the sheer magnitude of the rock, crowned by the remains of an ancient palace complex, intricately designed gardens, and captivating frescoes. Hovering above, travelers can appreciate the strategic brilliance of its location and the ingenuity of its construction, all while experiencing an unparalleled sense of awe and wonder at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      Transfer to hotel
      Good transfer service. Driver waiting for me with signage making it easy to find him. Really appreciated having this service scheduled so I didn’t have to worry about a thing upon arrival.

      Amazing Private Safari
      Most amazing experience ever! It’s great to see the animals in their natural habitat! All the people working there were extremely friendly and they provided a lot of additional information about the animals! Also they pick you up from your hotel which is super convenient! Highly recommend ☺️

      Great tour
      This was a great little tour. Shirat gave me a little history lesson along with answering all my questions about Unesco & how restorations were happening. He took me to places I might not have found on my own & he runs a pleasant liitle tea shop too. A true local.

      A very enjoyable train ride.
      My husband and I had a lovely trip on the Amtrak train Blue Water from Flint, Michigan to Milwaukee - via Chicago. The ride was great, and smooth - we had Red Coat assistance in Chicago, helping my 80 year-old husband. The trains were very clean, modern, comfortable. The Chicago to Milwaukee is a commuter train, also very comfortable, clean, with professional staff assisting. And they were on time! there was assistance at the doors to the trains for those who needed it. My husband says that the best part of our trip to Michigan and Wisconsin was the train ride.

      Travel down memory lane
      The tour itself was educational. Got to know a lot on the history of Sri Lanka thanks to the guide Ashan - who is amazing. Enjoyed the bike ride, as Ashan fit to my needs overall.

      Great, we saw a lot of elephants. Good communication before the journey. He picked us at the bus and drop off at the hotel (we paid for that).

      Great option if you’re staying in Ella!
      The safari was great! The transfer to and from Ella was seemless. Coordinator was very responsive via whatsapp. We got to see a leopard, elephants, buffalos, crocodiles, etc… the jeep driver knew very well where to go and made sure we did not miss that elusive Leopard when the chance presented itself! :)

      Wonderful experience, arranged with ease and good communication
      Amazing trip, I highly recommend Lakpura and Raveesha for all your Sri Lankan needs! It was amazing to be so close to the elephants. All the organisation was so smooth and a cake was even arranged for my brother. BIG RECOMMEND!

      Comfortabele safari with so many elephants
      Awesome elephant safari! Our driver was super kind and besides the elephants that were easy to find he pointed out numerous animals in the trees such as a crocodile, specials bird and monkeys. Also the jeep was the most comfortable jeep we have ever road in. Tip! Our driver contacted us the day before to suggest we move the time and location to be able to see more elephants. We highly recommend you follow up on his expertise and experience. We saw around 75 elephants that day!

      Great driver and great experience!
      Fantastic safari with our driver Asela! We saw so many animals - loads of elephants, some foxes, eagles, water buffalo and lots of other birds. The scenery is beautiful. Asela has great English and was very knowledgeable about the elephants and could answer all of our questions. Would definitely recommend!

      Asela was a brilliant guide - he took care of us and everything for the day! We must have seen 80+ elephants and plenty other animals during the safari.
