Jaffna

Hi there,

I am looking to travel around sri lanka from the 21st june to the 30th. I think the best way to get around is with a driver but as I am travelling alone it works out rather expensive.

Hopefully someone else is in the same situation and we could help each other out by sharing!

Anyone interested in visiting Jaffna? I will be travelling to Jaffna in mid-August 2013. I have local knowledge of literally everything, and can assist you if you need. I will be there for 2 weeks.

I will be travelling with two friends in October. is it possible to hire a driver one way from Colombo to Kataragama, and if so - how would I do it and what is it likely to cost?

Hello there,

Can you pl. suggest me a good restaurant to taste Srilankan food? and how much would cost for 4 people for a dishes like Kottu, Fish curry with rice.etc.,
Thanks

I will be in Srilanka from 28 july to 15 august. First days negombo, mirisa, tishmara, yale, candy at end trincomalle. How is about weather in that time.

Which one is the best place for visit including beaches and nightlife?

Hello everyone,
we'll be travelling at the end of July/beginning of August and I'm concerned that we should keep to the northern and eastern parts of the country because of the monsoon.
Can you tell me if the sites in the South and West are still enjoyable at that time of the year ?
thanks a lot,

Hi, I'll be travelling in Sri Lanka with my boyfriend this summer, and I was thinking of renting a car and driving it ourselves. Now, I've been reading all sorts of advice on not driving oneself but rather using a car with chauffeur. I'm reluctant to do this because even though I can see a lot of perks to this (getting good advice etc) I'd much much rather just keep it a "tete-à-tete" trip, with just the 2 of us.
Can you tell me if it is risky to drive in Sri Lanka (we're thinking of going to Trincomalee) for instance ?
Thanks a lot,
Marjorie

Hi everyone, We will be 3 or 5 guys staying in colombo for 4 days. Kindly guide for few things:

2) where we can find an adequate accmdtn but in cheaper prices? any hotel suggestion?
3) what about food? Halal available? Cheaper or expensive? MCdnlds, Kfc Available?
4) Places to visit specially beaches? not very far but few beaches nearer to colombo that we must do?
5) What about night life in colombo? bars or clubs? suggestions of some bars not very expensive?
