Overview

Although it's unlikely it will reclaim its 19th-century moniker 'the garden city of the East', Colombo has nevertheless emerged as a must-see stop in Sri Lanka. No longer just the sprawling city you have to endure on your way to the beaches, it has become a worthy destination in its own right and makes an excellent start – or finish – to your Sri Lankan adventures.

What To Expect
Colombo National Museum
A large 9th-century stone Buddha greets you with an enigmatic smile as you enter Sri Lanka’s premier cultural institution, which gets better (in small increments) each year. In galleries dating back as far as 1877, you’ll encounter all manner of art, carvings and statuary from Sri Lanka’s ancient past, as well as swords, guns and other paraphernalia from the colonial period. There are 19th-century reproductions of English paintings of Sri Lanka and a collection of antique demon masks.
Viharamahadevi Park
Colombo’s biggest park was originally called Victoria Park, but was renamed in the 1950s after the mother of King Dutugemunu. It’s notable for its superb flowering trees, which bloom in March, April and early May. Elephants used for ceremonies sometimes spend the night in the park, chomping on palm branches. It has been given a major sprucing up and now boasts comfy benches (often occupied with caressing couples), walkways, landscaping and playgrounds. You’ll even still see the odd snake charmer.

The Go-To person in Kandy

5.00Mr. Luxman is an exceptional guide for a Kandy Tour. We has him for 1 1/2 days and left the Sightseeing program completely to him. We got a Tuk Tuk Tour with Temple, Buddha, Statue, Herbal Garden, Fruit Variety Tasting, Royal Garden, Tea Factory, War Cemetery, Wood carving, Jewel Making, a meeting with the son of the Bridge jumping Double for Harrison Ford and more! He also arranged for us the onward journey to Ella with train and car, under difficult circumstances (service partly Interrupted). Mr Luxman is very knowledgeable about the all the things he shows. Whether its history or living and working today. Later his son in law Nayomi (Dan) took over the arrangements for our onward Journey. He was available all the time and helped to arrange everything even on short notice. Highly recommended!

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Dan during our trip from Kandy to Colombo. He was extremely professional, drove safely and smoothly throughout the journey, and made us feel completely at ease. What stood out the most was how friendly and warm he was—especially with our baby, who instantly took a liking to him! He even helped us with some great local recommendations along the way, which added a special touch to our journey. Overall, a very reliable and courteous guide—we’d absolutely recommend him to anyone traveling in Sri Lanka.
