Trips - Tours - Taxi - Airport Transfer and Guide Service
Your very first encounter with Sri Lanka will be in the airport. As soon as you step outside the building, the warm and noisy air will close around you. A keen crowd of people will be there to meet you, even if you don't know a soul in Sri Lanka. Don't worry, we will be there to meet you as well - and soon you will be in a cool car or van on your way to new experiences. After a long flight, you may not be up to a long drive to get to your destination. Negombo is only a short distance away and well worth a visit.
Transportation in Sri Lanka is a chapter in itself. Air service is available or you could rent a car (if you dare), but if you want to see and experience Sri Lanka, you should use the railway or go by the roads. You can go almost everywhere either by bus or train. It is cheap, crowded and stuffy - and demands patience and good nerves. However it can be a great experience, and you no doubt meet new friends within short. Tuk-tuks (bajajs or 3-wheelers) are convenient for short trips. There are a lot of them - and you cannot avoid being offered a "taxi" in the street. Do remember to agree on a price, before you get in.
The average speed is more or less 30-40 km (18-24 miles) per hour all over Sri Lanka, due to traffic and road conditions. The easiest way to get around is to hire a vehicle with a driver. Then you can go, where ever you want, when you want it.
Travelinlanka offers you this service at a low price. For example 1 whole day for the amount of US $ 60 in an insured, air conditioned car 1or van with an experienced English speaking driver.
Trips and tours, including over night stay at hotels after your choice, can be arranged. There are many hotels and guesthouses to choose from.
