    Jonathan's 4 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

    Out of the 3N/4D trip everything was wonderful except for the hotel on the 2 nd night. Absolutely not worth even half of the money we paid, bathroom smelling of urine, floor dirty, power lines close to window, no view, food aweful and cold, no privacy. I would rather book a trip by myself or other
    agency and save a few bucks.
