NA - It was a three-hour tour, and I had the opportunity to see numerous elephants up close. The proximity to these majestic creatures made the experience both precious and enjoyable. However, be mindful that daytime tours can be extremely hot, so proper preparations are necessary.

Fantastic Experience - I booked a private car for myself for 10 days with a chauffeur cum guide. I also booked 3 activities through Lakpura. 1- Sigiriya Village Tour with Bull cart ride, boat ride, traditional village lunch and Tuk Tuk ride with hotel pick and drop. 2- Minneriya Elephant Afternoon Jeep Safari 3, Elephant ride from Sigiriya. Minus points - I was originally offered a sedan car which got changed at the last minute to a maturity wagon r. I did not mind this since I was a Solo traveler and my only condition was the car had to be in a good condition and have a powerful aircon which it did. The activities that I booked through Lakpura I quickly learnt was a big mistake since they over charged me like crazy and also took me to cheaper sightseeing places than what I booked. For example instead of Minneriya I was taken to a cheaper park Hurulu Eco and did the elephant ride there. When I brought to their notice they agreed to refund me 15000 LkR however I still feel I was heavily overcharged. Not happy with this. Plus points - Lakpura did arrange for a cheaper car option for my 10 days trip amounting to 500 USD with all inclusive - Toll, Parking Charged, Full tank Fuel, unlimited mileage within the given route of my designed itinerary, insurance, First Aid, High way Fees, Drivers accommodation, his meals and any other expenses, any other charges on road and 1.5 litres of sealed water bottle per day. Sri Nanda Perera was an excellent chauffeur cum guide cum friend. He took great care of me during the entire 10 days of trip and made sure that I did not face any problems, helped me beyond my expectations to ensure my trip was excellent and form good memories to take back home. His family was very nice and I spoke with his mother and his 3 kids. His mother made wood apple juice and wood apple puree for me because I wanted to taste the fruit. Sri Nanda also on the way bought me so many new Srilankan fruits, ice cream, Pizza, local snacks, tea and lion Beer on his own cost so that I get to experience the variety of new fruits that I don’t get in India. Sri Nanda is a very fun person and he became my friend so I take away another good friend memories from my trip. Sri Nanda also helped me buy sports shoes at a very reasonable price in Colombo since mine were completely worn out and torn from the trip. Sri Nanda on the last day also helped me exchange my LkR balance money to USD which I used to purchase Whisky for my Father from the duty free outlet at airport. Overall I had a blast in Srilanka for which I will always retain these wonderful memories and wonderful Srilankan people I met during my 10 days trip. Thank you my friend Sri Nanda Perera and I wish you from the bottom of my heart all success in your journey in life to make it to a big successful person in whatever you aspire to do for future businesses.

Amazing tour with a lot of elephants! - What an amazing experience! We went on the morning tour in the Hurulu Eco Park and saw around 30 elephants and the beautiful nature of Sri Lanka! Our tour guide Asela was super friendly and could answer all our questions. We had a lot of fun!

Really Nice! - We made a tour of 3 hours. He picked us up at our stay and accompanied us throughout the tour. Very friendly! We also spotted a lot of elephants and there were a number of vantage points where we could stop. Recommended!
