Visit St. Wolvendaal Church in Colombo

One of the best Protestant Churches in Colombo is Wolvendaal Church. The best thing about this Church is its ambiance. Unlike other churches that exude a religious sparkle, St. Wolvendaal is actually eerie. With a surprisingly somber atmosphere and a sense of history, it absolutely makes sense to visit St. Wolvendaal Church...

Garima Khosla

Garima's 6 days trip to Colombo

Overall we had a great time in Sri Lanka... All the hotels we stayed in were good and the food was also great. I would recommend people to choose Travel triangle for their bookings as they provide the most competitive prices.

Prasadmlv's 9 days trip to Colombo

I wanted to express my heartfelt THANKS to the Dinagi Lanka travels (Ms. Chamodi) for the fantastic itinerary you prepared for my Sri Lanka trip. Your instant support, excellent guide recommendations, and the choice of hotels made my journey unforgettable. Your attention to detail and commitment to

Pallavi's 6 days trip to Colombo

Our Sri Lanka trip was planned by travel triangle and we had an amazing experience with them.

Ravishankar Singaram

Chennai

Ravishankar's 6 days trip to Colombo

I had only the country finalized when i started working with TravelTriangle. The agencies as part of the Sri lanka were very helpful and quickly helped me to put together a plan. The whole planning and execution was perfect. The driver Afzal helped all the way through the trip and treated us like a

family member. However please don't go by their hotel star ratings as is. I checked in a 3* star hotel which apparently was a villa homestay. Otherwise all the hotels and arrangements were near to perfect.

Anshul Verma

New delhi

Anshul's 5 days trip to Colombo

Arrangements were good, just the hotel in Nuwara Eliya was not up to the mark, food was also not good. But other hotels and services were too good. Driver and cab was good. Visiting Sriramajayam Temple in Nuwara Eliya The mini Switzerland was one of the best place, Marino Beach Hotel stay and the fo

od, stay at Earl Reef. Train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella was amazing.

Charan K

Bengaluru

Charan's 7 days trip to Colombo

We have been TravelTriangeling since last 4 trips abroad. That's because of its vast network of service providers. Srilanka was planned 3 yrs back, but the economic crises there held us from moving on. It happened again and we do carry great memories from this trip. The agency Romano Lanka and its

coordinator Mrs Minasha was were very helpful. Though, we gave them though time planning and re-planning again and again,.she didn't budge and planned well. My suggestion to future travellers. Never hold back from tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, they are always best available in very local and not so fancy restaurants. Our village safari was where we tasted the best food. Thanks to the old ladies there for their expertise. It would be very convenient if the travel planners include the entry fees for every visiting places, each and every visiting places mandatorily charge entry fees. Paying every time feels very costly. The season we visited was pre monsoon, but thank god it didn't effect our trip. Thanks to TT and Minasha Cultural dance at Kandy was hair raising. Spice garden, Cave temple, Sigaria rock, Sacred tooth relic and the beaches were just awesome and enchanted.

Anant Sahrawat

Anant's 5 days trip to Colombo

Ssasirtan

Sri lanka

Ssasirtan's 7 days trip to Colombo

I really had an excellent journey and consultancy service. I was checked at every stage of my week-long program and asked if I had any requests, and at the same time, I received help at every point I requested. Isurika Dilhari became as close to me as a sister in this regard. Our cab driver Sameera

was polite and full of fun, he was our luck . The hotels were carefully selected and comfortable in every respect. I appreciate the sincerity and friendliness of the Sri Lankan people. An organization you can undoubtedly trust.
