Pickyourtrail was the best choice for our first trip outside the country, couldn't have asked for a smoother and wonderful experience. Special upfront mention to Suresh, who was our guide and companion throughout the trip. His energy, patience and enthusiasm really made the trip special. No words can describe the beauty of Sri Lanka. It was the perfect mix of the best parts of nature. Right from Kandy upto Nuwara Eliya and Bentota and all the way back to Colombo airport, it was breathtaking and the rain was the perfect addition for our trip highlighting the stay locations perfectly. If there are two things that I felt weren't the best parts of the trip, they were the travel distance and cost of living in Sri Lanka. So maybe the itinerary planning can be better and a definitely important heads-up to be given on the cost of everything there. Therefore a package trip seemed like a blessing in disguise. On a rating level, 2 of the three stays were amazing and the third in Bentota passes just due to its sheer beauty. Service can be a bit better there. Vegetarian Food was a challenge but we managed to make the best of the trip and mode of transport was a Hybrid EV which was perfect. So overall a wonderful experience with a little better planning and trip and have already recommended to a couple of friends.abhishek bharadwaj, Trip to Sri Lanka

Nuwara Eliya Adventure Itinerary: 2 Nights 3 Days

Nestled in the lush highland hills of Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is a dreamy retreat with cool temperatures and breathtaking landscapes. Known as ‘Little England’, it’s a place where colonial architecture stands against a backdrop of verdant tea plantations and misty hills. Spending two nights here offers a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, as you explore the beautiful surroundings and engage with the warm-hearted locals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sri Lanka trip with Pickyourtrail. Travelling abroad with the entire family can sometimes be tiring, especially for senior citizens, but everything was arranged very thoughtfully. Our guide was particularly caring. He would tell us in advance if a sightseeing place required a difficult climb and would suggest something else for us to see while the younger members of the family went ahead. This allowed us to enjoy the holiday at our own pace without feeling that we were missing out. We are all vegetarians, and he was always helpful in finding suitable restaurants and Indian food for us. This was something we were initially concerned about, but it was handled very well. The vehicle provided was spacious and comfortable, and both the driver and helper were very polite and helpful. The hotel arrangements were also convenient, especially having our family rooms close together. We came back with very happy memories. Thank you Pickyourtrail and the team in Sri Lanka for taking such good care of our family.

I booked a trip to Sri Lanka with PickyourTrail for ten members of my family. This is the second trip that I have booked with PickyourTrail. They have done an excellent job right from creating the itinerary to ensuring that we have the right vehicle, you know, giving us details of the hotel, following up every single day during the trip, arranging cakes for two special occasions and finally extending bus timings during the drop-off as well. They have certainly gone above and beyond and made the experience quite memorable. They were always present when required for help, they've always followed up with us. and that I think is absolutely delightful customer support. Would definitely book any future vacations, especially those with families with them as it is a hassle free experience.
