What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
The ruins of Anuradhapura are one of South Asia’s most evocative sights. The sprawling complex contains a rich collection of archaeological and architectural wonders: enormous dagobas (brick stupas), ancient pools and crumbling temples, built during Anuradhapura’s thousand years of rule over Sri Lanka. Today, several of the sites remain in use as holy places and temples; frequent ceremonies give Anuradhapura a vibrancy that’s a sharp contrast to the museum-like ambience at Polonnaruwa.

        Truly generous tuktuk
        We have met by accident, but so lucky we did! He is so nice and generous and truly loves to help people. Recommend to travel around Kandy area with tuktuk with him.

        Wonderful and authentic one day hiking tour to Knuckles Mountain Range
        We had an amazing day with Lux Tours Lanka experiencing Knuckle Mountain Range. We went on an one day hiking trip from Kandy. We went up one of the knuckles, saw beautiful waterfalls on the way and had lunch all the way on top of the mountain. Our lovely tour guide and a local trekking guide accompanied us and we felt super safe during the whole hike. Also, before the hike, we had an authentic breakfast at a sri lankan place we absolutely loved. Thanks a million for this very special day! Special advice: Consider taking a two or three day trip and camp on the mountain. We would probably do this the next time. And don't forget your anti leech socks :)

      Where to begin. My travels were filled with Parell, injuries in Colombo, sleep deprivation and so on unitil we finally arrived in Kandy and were lucky enough to make the acquaintance of Laxman. By far one of the most genuine and caring individuals I have ever met.
      Laxman begins his days by waking in the early mornings by harvesting lotus flowers arranging them in bouquets as an offering to Buddha at the world renounded temple of the golen buddha's tooth then spends his day's searching for people to offer his sevices to.
      His tours all encompassing wellness, care the most incredible deals ever all with the hope of assuring those in his care good Karma. I can not stress enough how amazing this person is.
      Good luck, take care and enjoy your travels.

      llent and he arranged a good tour guide. However, after we booked and paid for the tour the tour operator contacted us to say the price had gone up, that we should seek a refund and then pay the new, higher price in cash! I refused to do this and instead paid the difference between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ price which was $14USD.
