Sri Lanka
A magical land. A culture steeped in Buddhism.
“What you think, you become.
What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.”
― Buddha
Sri Lanka
The magical land
Sri Lanka has been named the best destination to travel for 2019 by Lonely Planet! A Nation with over 70% Buddhist you will find peaceful temples dotted along almost every road.
Coconut trees, smiles and brightly coloured colonial houses as far as the eye can see. When I was there in October 2018 I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of wildlife everywhere I went. Peacocks, cows, goats, squirrels, elephants, kingfisher birds, lizards, water buffalo and turtles to name a few.
I can't wait to explore this beautiful endearing culture some more with you.

Travel
How to get there
There are international flights daily from most major cities across the globe to Colombo Airport Sri Lanka (CMB).
From the airport it takes about 2-3 hours in a car to reach UTMT Resort. If we have a group of us coming in at the same time we can organise a van at a reduced cost per person.
Alternatively you can very easily get a private car from the airport terminal. They have multiple companies at set prices. I easily found one there as I walked out. They are MORE than happy to help you :)
For most countries you will need a visa to travel to Sri Lanka. To organise your visa prior to travel click the link below.
