Since travel symbolises long drives, family time, and savoring regional cuisines to me, Sri Lanka was one place that had been on my bucket list for a long time. So, when my youngest son was planning a short visit back to India from Canada, I started researching a little to make our family trip an unforgettable affair! <\/em><\/p>\n

While I was looking for a good holiday deal online, I landed up on TravelTriangle\u2019s website. I looked up and compared the packages that included the things to do on a family trip to Sri Lanka <\/strong>with the map of Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka Tourism\u2019s website along with popular travel agent\u2019s packages and recommendations from friends.<\/p>\n

\"family<\/a><\/div>\n

Our family of four did not want to visit the typical touristy places as my kids were grown up men of age 27 and 25, and we were in our mid 50\u2019s, so we just wanted to put our feet up. And because of this, I ultimately finalized two places \u2013 Nuwara Eliya and Hikkaduwa. To book a trip for the same, I filled up the form on the website and immediately received a call for the same. Everything from the booking process to the trip planning was super smooth, and I was assisted by the travel consultant throughout this time.<\/p>\n

The flight was at an unearthly hour of 3:15 AM from the Kempegowda International Airport, Bangalore and soon after boarding, we realized that the Sri Lankan Airways was taxiing down the runway at Colombo in no time. After getting our passports stamped in a jiffy, we walked through the airport and stopped at the Airtel shop where my sons got themselves Sim cards with data package while I waited for the free Sim that was included in the travel package.<\/p>\n

Soon after we were picked up by our driver who was a pleasant guy and kept smiling as he led us to the spacious black van, which was the car we had to commute in for the whole of our trip. We proceeded to Nuwara Eliya, which is situated on the hills in central Sri Lanka via Pinnawala, which is an elephant orphanage in Kandy.<\/p>\n

We stopped for breakfast after taking a little nap, and I must say the food was amazing. On our way to the first destination, we stopped and visited Pinnawala, where witnessing the elephants bathing near the river was a majestic sight. There is no doubt that the place has a lot in store, especially for the eco-friendly travelers!<\/p>\n

After a scrumptious lunch, we resumed the journey and reached Nuwara Eliya in another hour. A short steep climb helped us in reaching our home – the Lake View Comfort Bungalow for the next two nights. The view from the hotel was wonderful as it overlooked the lake where we could see all sorts of activities like speed boating, boating, paddle boating, and more. But soon the weather turned for the worse and it rained incessantly and was foggy for the next two days.<\/p>\n

\"evening<\/a><\/div>\n

As we had reached late, we decided to have a couple of drinks and watch the India – Sri Lanka match that was being played in Kandy. With blankets wrapped around us, rain lashing at the windows, some chicken and rice, it became a perfect first night in this far away land.<\/p>\n
