liliansgrandaughter sheila roughton Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 662 days ago, February 2nd 2008 | Can anyone suggest somewhere to stay for 2 older women travelling around Sri lanka from mid-February to mid-March? We are well-travelled; familiar with Thailand, Cambodia, Africa and India, but have not been to Sri lanka previously and would like to find somewhere away from the 'in-you-face' tourist traps, preferably with self-cater facilities (budget range). Having just spent 6 months dealing with illness of my elderly parents I really need a break, so somewhere on/or near a beach that's hassle free, quiet and friendly, but CLEAN would be ideal to start with, before we move on to explore more of the country. Just need to relax and chill out. | Any suggestions would be appreciated. becthetraveler Bec Post Count: 6 Msg: #2 652 days ago, February 12th 2008 | hi | first of all without scaring you, its probably not the best time to be going to sri lanka because of the conflict going on =( me and my cousin were due to stop over on our way back from thailand but our families who had just came back from a trip there said avoid going there for the next yr! If you do decide to go there is a beautiful eco resort called Kandalama which is near Kandy. Its unbelievable and just soo relaxing. I believe the pricing was reasonable too and you can choose to pay a little bit more and have breafast, lunch and dinner made for you! Other places you could stay in is Kandy, Nuwera Eliya to name a few. And make sure you go to Pinawallawe Elephant Orphanage. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, you will really enjoy it if you are still keen on going =) EmileG Emile Post Count: 1 Msg: #3 652 days ago, February 12th 2008 | Hi, | Great decision to travel to Sri Lanka. Its a great place with so much to offer. As a start you might like to stay at beaches such as Tangalle, Unawatuna, Mirissa, Polhena to name a few ( One of the places would do all are great places.) The hotel will totally depend on your budget. Prices can range from $25 a night to $200 so that is something you will have to decide. I personally know this very good travel company who is worth giving a try you can visit them at www.colombotravelbureau.com they are reliable & resonable. If you have any other needs do post.

There seemed to be lots of them available.

The sole tourist attraction of the village is its natural beauty. to exp lo Ella is an excellent base for trekkers or casual hikers re & discover the surrounding countryside. village is nestled in a magnificent valley peering straight through the opening amongst an idyllic green mountain ranges, right down to the coastal plain nearly 1100m below. An attractive scatter of pretty little guest houses with their flower filled gardens in this vantage point of Ella with perfect climate soothes your mind & rest your day to day anxieties. <snip> Regads! sena [Edited: 07:40 - Mell ] Number of Users: 6 | Number of Posts: 6 | ||||||||||||||
