Waters Edge

Reviewed By 1944Athas - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Tucked away alongside a tributary of the Diyawanna Lake, barely an hour from Colombo’s traffic clogged streets, is Thuna Paha – a restaurant that serves authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
Some distance away, where the lake covers a wide landmass is the country’s Parliament house in the ancient kingdom of Kotte.
Thuna Paha literally means “Three Five.” They are the different types of spices that go into most Sri Lankan dishes.
At the Water’s Edge in Battaramulla, once a private club and now State owned, the Thuna Paha Restaurant sits in the middle of the lake.
Girls clad in cloth and jacket carry woven baskets with pots of food inside. They lay it near the dining table, on a food warmer. During lunch it is made up of both Chicken and Fish with a variety of cooked vegetables. Items like prawn and crabs are extras.
In the night, there is a variety of Sri Lankan food like hoppers, a crispy contraption with a thick middle, string hoppers (akin to noodles but steamed in coffee saucer sized pieces) and the now well-known Kotthu, chopped roti with vegetables and any meat one wishes.
The ideal place for any connoisseur who wants to sample authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.

Beddegana Wetland Park is very nice place to visit.You can relax your mind for a bit from the stress life of Colombo.In the morning and afternoon you can see many birds flying over there.Some butterflies also if you lucky enough to see.You have to park your vehicle bit far and have to walk 150m to enter the park.Local entrance is Rs 100 per one.There are wooden trails to walk on.One goes through inside the bit forest and can reach to Diyawanna lake.You can enjoy sunset,lake,huge building tops and also take photographs of bats flying.When you finished walking on wooden trails, on the way you can see a forest school with benches and many endemic plants and tress (with hanging their names on boards.)So good to learn and and enjoy,relax. (Note: In front of the car park(cross the road)there is also a historic valued one of the kings has built a clay wall can see.There is also a name board from government with the details)

Rangit Lanka

Reviewed By Robert H

Die Reise von und mit Rangit hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wir hätten in der kurzen Zeit nicht mehr von Sri Lanka sehen können und wir hätten uns keinen besseren Reiseführer vorstellen können.
Der Reisebeginn war sehr gut organisiert, Rangit hat uns pünktlich um acht Uhr an unserem Hotel in Colombo abgeholt und dann ging die Reise auch schon los.
Über die Besichtigungen zahlreicher Tempel, einer Elefantenwaisenstation, einer klassischen Tanzveranstaltung in Kandy und Elefantenreiten blieben wirklich keine Wünsche offen.
Was uns besonders gefallen hat war die Besichtigung des Zahntempels in Kandy, die zwei großen Prozessionen in Kataragama und Kandy, die Wanderung in Sigiriya und die Safari im Yala Nationalpark.
Rangit ist individuell auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen, egal ob wir Hunger hatten oder kurz in ein Geschäft schlendern wollten.
Die Hotels auf der Reise mit Rangit waren allesamt gut und sauber und wir haben immer sehr gut und sehr lecker gegessen.
Alles in allem war die Reise ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und wir haben uns die ganze Zeit mit Rangit und unseren Fahrer Rane sehr wohl gefühlt.
Rangit konnte auch jede Frage beantworten, egal ob es um die Menschen in Sri Lanka ging, die Infrastruktur, die Politik oder auch den Buddhismus und Hinduismus.
Letzten Endes bleibt nur zu sagen das Sri Lanka ein wunderschönes Land ist und Rangit euch die schönsten Ecken zeigen wird.
Vielen Dank für alles, Rangit! Bis vielleicht bald, Robert und Elisa aus Dresden

Chauffeur.lk

Reviewed By 0450charlotte - ANTHY

Nous revenons d'un circuit de 20 jours au Sri Lanka . Nous avons eu recours à SANDALU LANKA TOUR ( voir son face book ) et ne le regrettons pas . Il est basé dans le triangle culturel , ce qui est un plus car cela ne vous oblige pas à changer d'hôtel tous les soirs ( Dambulla ? SIGIRYA ect .. ) . Puis pour le reste du circuit il est à votre écoute , toujours souriant , ponctuel honnête . Il connaît très bien son pays et ses routes . Il est près à sillonner tout le pays , par ex nous étions à Jaffna ou à Mirissa ... Il vous emmènera hors des sentiers battus : par ex , le midi nous prenions le repas avec lui dans des petits restos locaux sans touristes ! Je le recommande vivement !
