Dinu Lanka Tours的点评
点评：Me and my 5 year old daughter went to Srilanka for about a week. Since I was not accompanied by any other adult, I wanted to minimize uncertainties. Accordingly, I planned the trip in a manner wherein we had a well-planned itinerary and from the point we landed in Srilanka to the point we boarded the return flight to India, we were under the safe hands of a local guide who also took us around. This local guide was none other than Mr Gratian.
We were received by Mr Gratian upon our arrival in Colombo. He welcomed us with an endearing smile. As we embarked on our journey with him, we got to know him and his family better. We became good friends and my daughter also connected well with him. We visited Bentota, Kosgoda, NuwaraEliya, Pinnawala and Mirissa. He stayed in the same hotels where we stayed and helped address our concerns on food, activities, deals etc. Knowing that he was around was very comforting. If I had a concern or a query (small or bug), I could go to him. I didn't have to worry about not knowing the local language. During the trip, my daughter fell ill and there were times when not everything was going as per plan and schedule. Mr Gratian was kind and accommodative and ensured that our happiness and wellbeing was always looked after.
The places we visited offered us a palette of scenic beauty including beaches, mangrove forests, lakes and waterfalls, tea plantations, wildlife, and also a cruise in the Indian Ocean. All the places were beautiful to say the least. Our property at Bentota was a river-side property. At Bentota, we went on a mangrove forest tour and it was simply wonderful. It seemed like time had come to a stop. I had heard from people who had visited Srilanka earlier that NuwaraEliya was a "must-visit" place and so my expectations were high. This place didn't disappoint me - be it the "SeethaiAmman" temple or the Gregory Park/Lake or the Tea Plantations or the Ramboda Waterfalls, they were all breathtaking. After Bentota and NuwaraEliya, next on our list was Pinnawala. At Pinnawala, we went to the Elephant Conservation Center and enjoyed the elephant ride. This town has a relaxed and serene feel about it. We got to see elephants having a bath from the hotel where we stayed. Lastly, we went to Mirissa, which is right on the coastline. We went for the whale-spotting activity and it was a delightful experience. We also visited the snake park at Weligama and that served the adventure element of the trip when we got to hold some non-poisonous snakes !
One of the challenges we faced was that, being pure vegetarians, we did struggle for Veg food. Making the best use of the complementary breakfast (wherein you have quite a few options) available at the hotels would help. So, good breakfast coupled with lot of fruits, helped us manage. Overall, if you want to have a vacation that's filled with natural beauty, Srilanka is a great option. On top of that, if Mr Gratian is the one taking care of your trip, you don't need to ask for more. He will ensure that you are always safe and secure while keeping your preferences in mind. His hospitality is amazing and to top it off, on the last day of the trip, he also took us to his place for lunch. It was wonderful knowing him and his family. We returned back with lots of great memories and a trip to savor for a life time. Already looking forward to the 2nd part of the trip - Sigiriya, Dambulla, Ella etc. !!

翻译：我和我 5 岁的女儿去斯里兰卡待了大约一周。由于没有其他成人陪同，我想尽量减少不确定性。因此，我计划了这次旅行，我们有一个精心策划的行程，从我们降落在斯里兰卡到登上返回印度的航班，我们都在当地导游的陪伴下，他也带我们四处游览。这位当地导游就是 Gratian 先生。
我们抵达科伦坡时，Gratian 先生接待了我们。他以亲切的微笑欢迎我们。随着我们与他一起踏上旅程，我们对他和他的家人有了更多的了解。我们成为了好朋友，我的女儿也和他相处得很好。我们参观了本托塔、科斯戈达、努沃勒埃利耶、品纳维拉和米瑞莎。他住在我们住过的同一家酒店，并帮助我们解决关于食物、活动、交易等方面的问题。知道他在身边让我感到很安心。如果我有顾虑或疑问（小问题或小问题），我可以去找他。我不必担心不懂当地语言。在旅行期间，我的女儿生病了，有时事情并不按计划和时间表进行。Gratian 先生很友善，乐于助人，确保我们的幸福和健康始终得到照顾。
我们参观的地方为我们提供了风景秀丽的调色板，包括海滩、红树林、湖泊和瀑布、茶园、野生动物，还有印度洋游轮。所有地方都很漂亮。我们在本托塔的房产是河边房产。在本托塔，我们参加了红树林之旅，这真是太棒了。时间似乎停止了。我之前听去过斯里兰卡的人说，努沃勒埃利耶是一个“必去”的地方，所以我的期望很高。这个地方没有让我失望——无论是“SeethaiAmman”寺庙、格雷戈里公园/湖、茶园还是 Ramboda 瀑布，它们都令人叹为观止。在本托塔和努沃勒埃利耶之后，我们接下来要去的是品纳维拉。在品纳维拉，我们去了大象保护中心，享受了骑大象的乐趣。这个小镇给人一种轻松宁静的感觉。我们在下榻的酒店看到了大象洗澡。最后，我们去了海岸线上的美蕊沙。我们参加了观鲸活动，这是一次愉快的经历。我们还参观了韦利格玛的蛇园，在那里我们抓住了一些无毒的蛇，这为这次旅行增添了冒险元素！
我们面临的挑战之一是，作为纯素食者，我们确实很难吃到素食。充分利用酒店提供的免费早餐（有很多选择）会有所帮助。所以，丰盛的早餐加上大量的水果，帮助我们度过了难关。总的来说，如果你想度过一个充满自然美景的假期，斯里兰卡是一个不错的选择。最重要的是，如果 Gratian 先生负责您的旅行，您就不需要再要求更多了。他会确保您始终安全无虞，同时考虑到您的喜好。他的热情好客令人惊叹，最重要的是，在旅行的最后一天，他还带我们去他家吃午饭。认识他和他的家人真是太好了。我们带着许多美好的回忆和一生难忘的旅行回来了。已经开始期待旅行的第二部分了——锡吉里耶、丹布勒、埃拉等！！
