点评:We took a 7 day guided trip around Sri Lanka with Chandima. We covered 1600km. Chandima is a personable young man, who was very attentive to our needs. We had an agreed itinerary before the tour but Chandima was very adaptable to our requirements - we decided for the last day we would rather do a nature tour instead of the Colombo city tour, which he arranged for us. We visited the Pinnawala elephant orphanage, where you can help bathe the orphan elephants. Next an historical village where we were shown historical cooking methods and sampled a range of local foods. We went to Sigiriya lion rock for sunset (beware local "guides" after you have entered, very persistent even when told no thank you). On the way to Kandy we stopped at Dambulla cave temple (lots of steps, but worth the effort), also the botanical gardens (which are a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the streets), next the temple of the tooth relic in Kandy. We had a tour of a tea plantation and factory where we sampled different teas. Followed by a trip on the train through the tea plantations from Nanuoya to Demodara and lunch just outside Ella. An early morning safari at Udawalawe national park to view wild elephants. A fantastic week, would thoroughly recommend taking this kind of tour, especially with Chandima.
翻译:我们参加了为期 7 天的由 Chandima 带领的斯里兰卡之旅。行程 1600 公里。Chandima 是一位和蔼可亲的年轻人,他非常关心我们的需求。我们在旅行前已经商定了行程,但 Chandima 非常乐于适应我们的要求 - 我们决定在最后一天进行自然之旅,而不是他为我们安排的科伦坡城市之旅。我们参观了 Pinnawala 大象孤儿院,在那里您可以帮助给孤儿大象洗澡。接下来是一个历史悠久的村庄,在那里我们了解了历史烹饪方法并品尝了各种当地美食。我们去锡吉里耶狮子岩看日落(进入后要小心当地的“导游”,即使被告知不,他们仍然非常执着)。在前往康提的路上,我们在丹布勒石窟寺停留(有很多台阶,但值得一试),还参观了植物园(远离街道喧嚣的宁静之地),接下来是康提的佛牙寺。我们参观了茶园和工厂,品尝了不同的茶。随后乘坐火车穿过茶园,从 Nanuoya 到 Demodara,在 Ella 郊外享用午餐。一大早,我们去了 Udawalawe 国家公园观赏野生大象。这真是美妙的一周,强烈推荐参加这种旅行,尤其是和 Chandima 一起。
