      solo traveller looking to share driver

      Sri Lanka Jun 16, 2013 at 12:31 AM

      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!

      how bad is summer monsoon ?

      Sri Lanka Jun 9, 2013 at 12:31 AM

      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,

      travelling by rental car in Sri Lanka

      Sri Lanka May 26, 2013 at 2:24 PM

      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

    • Advice Needed!! Trincomalee, Batticoloa, Ampara

      Trincomalee Feb 17, 2010 at 12:45 AM

      Hey guys, My friends and I are trying to plan a trip through the east. We are starting in Kandy and then going up to Trincomalee, then Batticoloa and lastly Ampara and back to Kandy. I've been trying to figure out how to get from Kandy to Trinco and I've never been more confused. Does anyone know if there are direct buses from Kandy to Trinco or any train service? If not, what are best routes from Kandy to Trinco using public transportation? I've also been trying to find some budget accommodations in Trinco and it's been pretty much impossible. Does anyone know of places that are around Rs.1000-1500 per night for a double room? Also, what is the best way to get to Batticoloa from Trinco? Also, is it possible to get from Batti or Ampara back to Kandy or would I have to go back to Trinco to find public transportation back to Kandy? Sorry for all the questions! Any other advice/tips you have regarding the east coast would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

      I am going to Sri Lanka in July for my honeymoon and wanted to stay in Trincomalee/ Nilaveli for a few days. I wondered if anyone had any hotel recommendations - The Nilaveli Beach hotel doesn't look that great, and I have read mixed reviews, although I understand it is on the most beautiful beach. I was thinking about the French Garden Guesthouse (maybe a bit basic????) or the Club Oceanic. Has anyone stayed in any of these? Any advice much apprecitated!! Emma
