A local guide for your Sri Lanka Tour
I founded “I Go To Sri Lanka (IGSL)” in 2011, do you know why? To help my friends spend an unforgettable holiday in Sri Lanka as I do. Anna & Peppe visited Sri Lanka with me in 2010.
We started our first day from my village Adiambalama. Our first night in Sri Lanka, we spent in Villa Daisy, which is my small guest house managed by my parents. In the evening, we hired a tuk-tuk went to Negombo market & bought some fish for dinner & a couple of beers. While my mother cooking it, we flew a kite with my friends in a green paddy field.
My friend Kamal climbed a king coconut tree to pick some king coconuts for all of us. As our tradition, he offered the best fruits to Anna & Peppe. We all drank together near a paddy field bank with a small stream while watching the sunset. What a wonderful evening for Anna & Peppe & my friends!
This is how “I Go To Sri Lanka” started its first tour.
