Overview

For almost 30 years the North of Sri Lanka was unexplored by the rest of the world. The tensions also lead to the picturesque East to be avoided. With the end of the civil war and the birth of peace in the country, The North & East opens its arms out to you. Ceylon.Travel takes you to the unexplored North and East with a well-rounded tour of the must see places.

Visit the remnants of one of Sri Lanka’s ancient kingdoms before touring the North and East of the country while enjoying the costal highlights our little island of wonder has to offer. Visit little coastal towns, religious points of interest and even go on a wild life safari. Spend your evenings on the soft sandy beaches with a cool drink in your hands and get lost amidst the sound of waves.

"We have had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. Our driver/tour guide was excellent, very friendly and provided lots of interesting information both on excursions and driving around. He seemed to go over and above what we would think would be expected of a tour guide and within the ten days we felt like we had made a new friend! Despite the current economic and fuel crisis, the holiday went really smoothly which is a credit to both the tour company and the hotel industry"

"We couldn't have been more delighted with our holiday to Sri Lanka. It was the trip of a lifetime, full of unforgettable experiences and memories to cherish forever. This was made possible due to our wonderful guide Janaka Waidyathilaka, along with Fernando and Sue. They were absolutely excellent and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experiences. Janaka was so proud to share his beautiful country and culture with us. We fell in love with Sri Lanka. His knowledge, insight, care and passion was exceptional. We can't wait to come back to Sri Lanka, and would for sure recommend Walkers Tours to anyone thinking of visiting this beautiful country. Thank you for everything!"

"We spent 13 days on a tour of Sri Lanka with our guide Anton Almeida. The trip was incredible and made even better by Anton's knowledge of the history of Sri Lanka, deep understanding of wildlife and willingness to join with some of the tough hikes we did (e.g. Overnight Adam's Peak, Horton's Plains and Ella Gap). Travelling to a foreign country can have some challenges but Anton was always on time, gave great tips of stops while driving and the best places for food, massages and many other local experiences. Overall it was great and ask for Anton for any future trip you'll be sure to have a fun time!"

"This was our first visit to Sri Lanka, but we had such a great time I’m sure we will be back. This was in no small part due to the excellent arrangements made by Walkers, and our wonderful and attentive guide Janaka. I guess you never know what it’s going to be like to be ferried around for eight days by a total stranger, but Janaka wasn’t a stranger for long. By the end of day two it felt like we were being shown Sri Lanka by a mate – albeit one that happened to be particularly knowledgeable about the country, its history, culture, and wildlife! We had some great experiences in and around Habarana and Kandy, learned a lot of fascinating stuff, and had a load of fun in the process. Even Janaka learned something new – he certainly won’t be parking under a mango tree full of fruit bats again! How he got the car clean before morning we’ll never know… Our week or so’s site seeing flew by, but it teed us up nicely for Christmas and New Year relaxing at the beach in Weligama. So, thanks again to everyone at Walkers, but most especially to Janaka – in a place famous for its jewels, Janaka stands out as a little gem."

"We had a great 11 night Leopard Safari tour anound Sri Lanka. The driver/guide Hirantha was very polite couteous knowledgable and helpful at all times. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The car was always spotlessly clean and tidy inside and out. The hotels were good and the food was excellent. "
