Jagannath's 8 days trip to Colombo

Exceptional Service by Ayesha & Kavindu – A Perfect Sri Lanka Trip! A huge thank you to Ayesha, our travel agent, for flawlessly planning our trip from Sigiriya to Colombo, ensuring every detail was taken care of, including our 5-star stay at Marino Beach Colombo. A special shoutout to Kavindu, our guide and chauffeur, who was with us for seven days, assisting us at every step with his local knowledge and warm hospitality. His thoughtful gestures, like the random King Coconut treat, made our journey even more special. Every destination was a delight: Sigiriya – The majestic Sigiriya Rock climb was tough but offered breathtaking views. Kandy – The Temple of the Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake were serene and beautiful. Nuwara Eliya – The cool weather and lush tea plantations made it a scenic paradise. Horton Plains – The stunning landscapes of World’s End and Baker’s Falls left us in awe. Ella – Enjoyed the stunning views and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. Yala – The wildlife safari experience was thrilling, with sightings of elephants, deer, and crocodiles. Galle – Loved the colonial charm and pristine beaches. Colombo – A perfect end with a luxurious stay at Marino Beach and its infinity pool. Thanks to Ayesha for seamless planning and Kavindu for his exceptional guidance, making this an unforgettable and hassle-free experience. Highly recommended!

Kinkon's 11 days trip to Colombo

Our trip to sri lanka for holiday have been a great success and this is because of cnb travel. Before planning my trip i generated query at Travel Triangle, which had been always my 1st priority for all holiday tours. Then I got the best and cost effective plan from CNB travel. During my travel for 10 days in srilanka staying in different places, my check in , check out and conveyance was very smooth and hassle free. Even in the last moment , my request to change hotel location was also entertained and fulfilled by them without any extra charge. So I will give them a 5 star rating for planning my tour and I would like to recommend CNB travel for planning holiday tours in sri lanka The whole trip carries best memories for me

Kinkon Nath New delhi

Shree's 5 days trip to Colombo

I am very happy with the services that Ceylon Trips and Tramps made for my parents. The driver cum guide udyanga was very polite and cooperative and made them feel as comfortable as family. Special mention to him. The iterniery as mentioned was almost covered everyday. The hotels booked were all good, except the one night at bentota where due to the change in the plan there was a lot of time wasted in searching for a new hotel and was exhaustive. The car was comfortable gave a leisurely feel on travel. Overall you guys made the trip cherishable and memorable, thank you very much. I definitely have many more people planning to visit srilanka and will suggest your agency for the same. Points where you can improve, 1. Entrance fee as a part of the package as it's cumbersome to deal with the bookings each time. 2. Keeping better communication regarding the payments, and other such formalities to prevent any hassle. 3. Keeping the bookings ensured so that there is no feel of wasting time on searching for the new ones. "Lankavu lasun ratak
