We had a great birding safari in Bundala, organized by Lakpura. I had initially booked with TripAdvisor, then canceled because I was concerned about getting back to my cruise ship on time. A Lakpura representative reached out to me to see if there was a problem they could help with. Indeed, they were able to offer a trip at a time that worked great for our cruise arrival and departure. We had a comfortable air-conditioned car and careful driver from the cruise terminal to the park, where we transferred to our safari vehicle and park guide. The trip in the park was fantastic. In addition to fabulous birds, we saw an elephant quietly grazing, so close that my video recorded his munching sounds. We also saw two kinds of monkeys, land monitors, and crocodiles. Our guide, Lena, was very good at spotting, and was able to identify all of the birds and other animals. He had a bird book and showed us the entries for many species as we stopped to view. He was also an excellent driver on the rutted park roads. I highly recommend working with Lakpura to book a Bundala tour. From their website you can contact them, and link up in WhatsApp to converse easily.

I was there at this hotel yesterday l, to receive a super service from the staff, specially excellnt coordination by Mr. Wasantha de Silva and Ms. Anuththara. Room was spacious and clean with a view of the beach.

The safari was amazing! We saw so many elephants, deer, crocodiles, we saw a wild pig and many many birds. Our driver was amazing! He stopped for every wildlife, even the different types of birds, explaining their characteristics. You could tell he very much cared about the wildlife and the national park, he picked up plastic as we drove past it and was extremely kind and patient the whole time. Definitely recommend this safari! This was our favourite thing we have done in Sri Lanka!!

I booked a safari tour, and the organizer was very responsive, contacting me right away. The next day, our driver arrived promptly and was kind enough to offer us water and bananas for the journey. The safari itself was amazing — we saw numerous elephants, some beautiful peacocks, and a variety of birds. The driver made sure we were comfortable and had a great time throughout the experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Sri Lanka's wildlife! Thanks to the team for such a memorable day!

Best family time ever! We were lucky enough to have met such an incredible and multitalented guide (Janaka) . Who knew the site inside out as well as a great photographer and patience with kids curiosity! Made our journey so fun and interesting that didn’t even realise we had reached the top of Sigirya. Thanks to Janaka, our family has a beautiful memories to cherish.

Everything went well. The guide was very nice. He stopped all the time to let us see the animals from every angle. There was quite a language burden, but we still got to enjoy our safari: he showed us the animals through some app he had, and for further explanations we could check on the internet - he did his best! We loved the safari

This cycling tour was the perfect compliment to the standard tuktuk tour I did the day before, Manjula is a calm and very knowledgeable guide about all things Sri Lanka, I learned a lot and enjoyed the beautiful nature and backroads around the monuments. The traditional srilankan lunch was very good and I loved playing with the mongoose. Highly recommended.

We did the 9 hour safari. Our guide was really helpful in pointing out animals we would have otherwise missed. Seeing the elephants was magical. Lots and lots of different bird species. The last 2 or 3 hours or so didn’t really see much new however.

We had a fantastic afternoon, the driver was great he stopped the jeep whenever he saw something of interest and showed us what it was in a book, really lovely guy, great time had by all and the baby elephants were a hit 😁

A really great experience. We were fetched by Tuck Tuck from our hotel and brought to a lovely villa, welcomed with a fine cup of tea. Once all participants arrived we got a hands-on introduction to the most important spices growing in the garden. Then class started in a very well prepared kitchen at the lake side with a wonderful view. The class itself was perfectly arranged, A perfect combination of introduction to ingredients and recipes and hands-on self experiences. Finally the jointly created menu was simply delicious. Highly recommendable.

I had an excellent experience with Lakpura during my trip to Sri Lanka. The service was reliable, professional, and seamless from start to finish. A special thanks to Hansika for her exceptional assistance and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

its a way to visit this temple for Buddhist or non Buddhist people who likes to be in Kandy in srilanka, so its so beauty full place and Kandy town and lake its feeling so nice to spend few times,

I was there for the first time because I was curious to see what Sri Lankan cuisine really contains. The welcome from the cooking course instructor was very warm, and after a short introduction, we immediately immersed ourselves in the cooking process. She really answered all my questions and addressed my curiosity about the culture and food. I really enjoyed this exchange and what impressed me most was both the simplicity of the cooking and the ingredients and the preparation. We did the exchange and at the same time we were also cutting, cooking and preparing coconut milk! All the steps went very effortlessly. At the end of it all, I had the reward of my (I mean our because the course instructor also helped me) hard work - an opulent buffet. Since I did this experience alone this time, I had the whole delicious buffet to myself - and oh my! I was more than satisfied with the result and the meal - I was very happy! Simple, delicious food with simple yet a beautiful medley of flavours is what my take-away from the cooking course was, in addition to the warmth of the Sri Lankan hospitality. I would do this experience once again during my next time to Sri Lanka, preferably with a few more friends 😊 And I recommend this experience a lot!

We had an amazing experience of seeing elephants up close and personal. The bird life was amazing. Our driver was knowledgeable of local wildlife of the park. We managed to see 15 elephants some so close their trunks sniffed us in the keep. The driver turned up at our motel on time which is a must.

It was our first trip to Colombo and I was surprised with the smooth arrangement. The driver was on time and they are very responsive.
