Explore Sri Lanka with Prasanna Sampath

We had a wonderful trip in Sri lanka for 14 days with Mr Sampath, exploring the incredibly views, food! Thanks Mr Sampath drove us, guide us and gave us so much care and advices!

Our unforgetable tour was a three days tour from Ella, the jewel of Sri Lanka´s Highland, back to Ella. We started our Highland experience almost as everybody in Kandy, lucky enough to have secured train tickets. The original idea was to go to Hatton (and further by taxi to Dalhousie /Adam´s Peak) and then continue next day to Ohiya also by train. As we only got seat tickets for one train journey we decided to go all the way up to Ella to enjoy the Highlands from the train`s window and then drive back to Dalhousie. Being aware of that this will be a tough ride with arrival close to the midnight we decided to rent a car via Lakpura, organization which also runs the marvellous lodge near Ohiya (our next stay after Dalhousie). And this turned out to be the best decision we could have taken. Isuru, the guide and Thilakshitha, the driver made our trip a really unforgetable experiece! They drove us through the night sharing with us they deep knowledge of the country, culture and people. And both of them know all great, most hidden places to visit, to have a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Following our unforgetable experience at the Adam´s Peak [even if did not make it up to the summit depite starting at 0:15 (!!) we will never forget it] they drove us to the most hidden place, the Hill Safari Eco Lodge next to Horton plains with its remarkable view (you can see the lighthouse of Dondra next to Matara on a clear day/night). Shortly before we arrived at the lodge we enjoyed a great walk to the End of the World in the Horton Plains National Park. Even if afternoon may not the perfect time to enjoy the view as Clouds rise up the hills we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the view.. Next day´s target was Ella. But before we got off to Ella we had to pick up out daughter ….at the Colombo´s Airport as she could only join us after having finished her winter´s job in the Alpes...Both Isuru and Thilakshitha were incredibly kind to help us to manage this apparently unmanageable task with almost six/seven hours drive (one way only!). We woke up at 0:30 and hit the road at 1 o´clock in morning arriving at the Airport on time. Immediately after we drove back to the Hill Safari Lodge where we arrived safely in the afternoon. When we were ready to hit the road again Isuru invited us to join him and Thilakshitha at the terrasse just behind the lodge (to enjoy the most remarkable view - we thought). But there we saw an icredibly big...chocolate cake waiting for us with candle lights... It was because of my wife´s birthday she had on this day... A chocolate cake at the End of the World?? For Isuru and Thilakshitha nothing impossible and for us another unforgetable experience. All guests of the lodge joinded us is enjoying the cake! As our three days Highlands Marathon drew to a close in Ella we knew we won new friends in this beautiful Country. Days we will never forget. Thank you Isuru, thank you Thilakshitha: ISTUTI! best regards from Hamburg from all four of us :-). Ayubowan!
