    Our trip to Sri Lanka was great. We are happy with the help we received from Travel Triangle. My only regret is not having visited places of mythological importance(Places associated with Ramayana: eg. Sita Elliya). We got to know we were close to Sita Elliya and could have visited it only after we
    had moved too far from that place.
