The Vendor & Planning: Our entire resort and overall package was booked through Freeze My Trip, and it made our vacation so much more comfortable by having everything fully handled by them. We coordinated with Parth, who was fantastic and gave us very good inputs on how we should plan our leisure days. The team supported us through multiple queries along the way, helping us prioritize what was truly worth the money. Overall Unforgettable getaway to beautiful Mauritius! The island truly offers something for everyone. We spent our days enjoying the stunning, calm beaches and crystal-clear waters, which were perfect for swimming and snorkeling. A quick note for anyone going to Île aux Cerfs: do keep some more time aside for it, as it is a beautiful beach where you can spend cozy time with your loved ones. We also loved experiencing the incredibly warm hospitality of the local people and the wonderful fusion of cultures in the food. The Resort: We stayed at the Anelia Resort and Spa, which was excellent. The service was top-notch, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the amenities were wonderful. Tips for future travelers: Keep days at leisure: Make sure to leave some free days in your itinerary! Good resorts provide excellent activities that you simply cannot cover if you pack your schedule with planned trips to the North and South tours. Pack smart: Definitely travel with very light and comfortable clothes, because the weather can get quite nasty due to the high humidity and sudden rain.

Faqs

Yes, Sri Lanka is generally safe for tourists, especially on planned routes with private transport. Petty theft and tout scams are the usual concerns. Any Sri Lanka travel guide will say the same. White Trails uses vetted drivers and hotels for its Sri Lanka tour packages.

Yes. You can add a Colombo city tour to your holiday, with stops at Galle Face Green and other local attractions. An extra night in Colombo gives you time for sightseeing before continuing to Kandy.

Yes. Rice and curry with dhal, pol sambol and vegetable dishes are standard across the island, though spice levels run high. Share your preferences with White Trails, and we will pass them to hotels on your Sri Lanka holiday packages.

Yes. Cool tea country evenings and sunset beaches on the south coast suit couples. White Trails can tailor Sri Lanka holiday packages for honeymooners, with room upgrades and quieter itineraries arranged on request.

Popular options include white-water rafting in Kitulgala, hiking at Horton Plains, surfing in Arugam Bay Beach and the scenic train ride to Ella. Bentota also offers jet skiing, banana boat rides and other water sports. White Trails’ Sri Lanka tour packages can be customised to include these activities based on your interests and travel plans.

November to April is the prime season for whale watching off Mirissa, when blue whale sightings are more common along Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Travellers visiting during these months can ask White Trails to include a whale-watching excursion in their Sri Lanka group tour packages, subject to seasonal conditions and boat availability.

May to September is the ideal time to visit Arugam Bay, when the east coast is generally dry, and the surf conditions attract visitors from around the world. Although Arugam Bay is not part of this itinerary, White Trails can include it in customised Sri Lanka group tours.

Yes. Sigiriya Rock Fortress sits roughly three hours from Kandy by road, so it works as a day trip or a stop in extended Sri Lanka tour packages. Dambulla Cave Temple lies nearby and pairs well with it.

Tipping is appreciated but not compulsory. Many restaurants add a 10 per cent service charge, and guides and drivers are usually tipped separately. On a Kandy tour or other Sri Lanka group tours, your White Trails consultant can suggest sensible amounts.

 

A direct flight from Delhi to Colombo takes approximately four hours. White Trails’ Sri Lanka tour packages begin with an airport pick-up in Colombo, so booking a morning arrival gives you more time for the onward drive to Kandy. On your return, the drive from Bentota to Colombo Airport takes around two to three hours, depending on traffic.
