      Great driver and great experience!
      Fantastic safari with our driver Asela! We saw so many animals - loads of elephants, some foxes, eagles, water buffalo and lots of other birds. The scenery is beautiful. Asela has great English and was very knowledgeable about the elephants and could answer all of our questions. Would definitely recommend!

      Great safari!
      Asela was a brilliant guide - he took care of us and everything for the day! We must have seen 80+ elephants and plenty other animals during the safari.

      Go early and avoid holy days
      Buddha’s tooth was apparently snatched from his funeral pyre and smuggled in to Sri Lanka by a princess and here it is kept in a casket and is considered very holy. People come to make offerings and hope their prayers are answered. Beautiful flowers are sold at many stalls outside. One must not take photos of anyone in front of the buddhas. There is a memorial to a faithful elephant and people can light incense sticks for loved ones. Most people wear white. All must show respect by covering legs and shoulders. Shoes are not worn in the whole complex. 200 rupees to have them looked after. Go early and avoid holy days.

      Just need a driver for this Tour.
      You don’t really a tour guide for this booking. Just a driver if you’re coming from Kandy. The view is amazing and not that far. Get a Tuk Tuk motor cart to reach the top.

      Great Safari Experience in Minneriya National Park!
      We had a wonderful time exploring Minneriya National Park with our driver, Asela. The guided tour was excellent, and we were lucky to see a lot of elephants. They were close by and Asela stopped at the right spots so we could watch them very good. We also saw monkeys, a deer and eagles during our visit. Asela was a knowledgeable and courteous guide who shared interesting insights about the park and its wildlife. The jeep we used for the safari was comfortable and allowed us to stand in the back for a better view, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the small touches, like having water available during the tour. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

      Fantastic Seats
      Our five star hotel in Kandy let me know about the Perahera and was offering tickets but never responded to be when I asked to buy some. I then turned to Lakpura LLC. Mewan immediately responded and subsequent communication with his staff was excellent. We ended up with fantastic front row seats in the Queen’s Hotel Corridor. Not only did we get the best views for photos but the seating was also converted which came in handy as it was sometimes drizzling. We also had access to a toilet as the ceremony was long. Sure we paid a lot but it was worth it for such good seats to one of Buddhism’s holiest and most colourful festivals. Pro tip: bring water and snacks. Thanks very much Lakpura.

      Highly recommend this trip!
      Highly recommend this trip, we had a private safari in a very comfortable jeep. Our guide was informative and patient, and drove sensibly and considerately of the elephants. We saw so many elephants and had plenty of time to take photos, videos and just sit and watch them. We were able to get really close without intruding on their space. Was an amazing experience and a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka.

      Excellent birdwatching experience!
      I was surprised having such a great birdwatching experience just outside of Colombo. Really good wetland with many birds. And Chinthaka is a guide with deep knowledge, which is not easy to find in Sri Lanka!

      Absolutely worth it!!!!
      AMAZING with capital letters! The view, the trail, the incredible tea scent in the air and on top of them all, Vishwa, our guide made sure that also two unexperienced bikers like us would get the most of this wonderful journey.

      Elephants with a view
      Great experience. Our guide was great, had the tickets bought before we got there so we wouldn't have to wait a long queue and took us to the less crowded side of the park. We saw many elephants and astonishing views. Thank you!
