    My trip to Sri Lanka was simply extraordinary! From start to finish, the action-packed 10-day itinerary provided by Mango Vacations had me enthralled. Every activity and event was perfectly planned and executed, ensuring I didn't miss a single highlight of this beautiful country. The accommodations were top-notch throughout my stay. The hotels and B&Bs were comfortable and well-maintained, with air conditioning providing a welcome respite from the warm climate. The staff at each location were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. However, the true highlight of my trip was my guide and driver, Lasantha Chamara. His youthful energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and his dedication to ensuring I had an unforgettable experience was truly remarkable. He went out of his way to introduce me to the local culture, taking me to hidden gems and sharing fascinating insights about Sri Lanka's rich history and traditions. We quickly became friends, and I'm so grateful for his companionship and guidance throughout my journey. Thanks to Lasantha's expertise and Mango Vacations' impeccable planning, my solo trip to Sri Lanka was an absolute dream come true. I can't recommend this experience enough to anyone seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and the chance to forge lifelong friendships. If you're looking for the perfect solo travel destination, look no further than Sri Lanka!

    Fantastic 10 days with Hasanka We had a fantastic 10 day trip through the southern beaches, Yala, and into Ella, facilitated by Mango Vacations. Our driver, Hasanka absolutely made the trip what it was. If you want someone to help facilitate an incredible trip through Sri Lanka, you need Hasanka. He was always super polite, punctual, responsive and communicative. He gave spot on recommendations for accommodation and activities. He anticipated our needs (before we even did), took us to get snacks & provisions, and first aid supplies when one of us had a hiking injury. He literally saved our trip when a bank ATM sucked in our debit card and we almost left it behind. He quickly spoke with the bank manager (thank goodness as we likely couldn't have translated all that info) and got our card back on the spot! (That help alone was worth every penny we spent on the tour!) Most importantly, he deeply cared about our safety and overall experience. We simply cannot recommend Hasanka highly enough! The only thing that could be improved was the communication from Mango Vacations (Mr. Nadeeka, the owner/manager?). We were taken aback when the original price, which was quoted and accepted, was increased just days before our trip (and while we were in transit) after we inquired about booking another (separate) ride to the airport for one of our group. We also waited for 3 days for a response when we inquired about extending our tour. All in all, a fantastic trip.

    I had a great holiday on this tour with Hasanka Thambugala as our ever attentive tour guide. We had a great variety of activities and sights to see, but with plenty of spare time as well so the pace was never too frenetic
