We had a 7 hour transfer from Kandy to Yala. It was a scenic drive with a very confident driver. We were particularly pleased with a surprise stop at a tea plantation on the way!

A Great Trip to See Elephants
Very good booking system and communications. Our driver Asela arrived on time. He drove very well and showed a lot of skill. Over two hours we watched about 150 elephants in three different parts of the park. Also saw an eagle, water buffalo and birds. A great trip. Thanks.

Book with Lakpura - they're fantastic.
I was recommended Lakpura as a reliable, cost effective and helpful agency by a friend who availed services many years ago as part of his frequent business trips to SL. Actually Dinakshi had been recommended personally. And the recommendation was correct.
I've had a very good experience. She was patiet in answering all my questions, gave me the best options and tailored the trip to match my many conditions. We have already recommended Lakpura to other friends who have also booked and have had a good experience. Thank you.

No problems here
We dealt with Laleesha when organising our excursion, through emails, who was very good.
We had an excellent taxi driver, and also an good safari Jeep driver. The coordination was also good!

Excellent service,
Car was comfortable and air-conditioned and drove to the conditions that would be expected of a "westerner". We had other drivers when we were away but never felt as safe as we did on our drive with Christopher.

discovering sri lanka with a car and driver and an agent overlooking your trip
I have never been to Sri Lanka and knew very little people who can recommend a travel agent from there. After some research, I chose Lakpura from several companies I found in the internet. I was assigned to an agent who has been very helpful and very personal along the way, 100% gave his best effort to make everything work out. We had a very good trip, all the hotels went smoothly, right down to small details of hiring a naturalist to accompany us to Horton Plains, and my husband playing golf in the Nuwara Eliya golf club..
my word of advice, the investment you make for a wonderful holiday is a good collaboration between your agent and yourself. Self study and research on the areas, and reading reviews and forums will go a long way to help yourself and your agent plan the trip. The agent helps you calculate the time of travel and you can review the quality of time you will have. Its hard to spend more than 60% of the time in the car and rushing.. Do ask a lot of questions, right down to what kind of seats you prefer for the train rides. Give your agent a profile of yourself as a traveler.
Always bring a good guide book, so you can also have an overall knowledge and you can make new (but reasonable) decisions while you are on the road...
Lakpura is a trustworthy company to deal with, they are good with making land arrangements.

The reservation I made through online form and the reservation confirmation I received later was different (timing of safari). In addition, the selection of number of participants and jeeps in the online form is confusing.
But the safari itself was nice with good jeep and driver.
