Late by about a year in posting to the blog. An awesome 10-day trip to Sri Lanka in 2012. Given its proximity, affordability and sheer awesomeness, highly encourage people, especially Pakistanis to consider it for a vacation (couples. friends or family)
Day 1
Flight to Karachi, chilled out over the evening and dinner with Zeeshan, his fiance Sammer and Ahmed Khawaja from LUMS. Nice flight to Colombo...had refreshments and watched some Sri Lankan movie. Based on this experience, they need to improve a bit.
Stayed at a place called the Amagi Lagoon which is near the airport and is absolutely fabulous. Although, Sri Lanka is probably worth a visit, all year roung, the timing of our visit was before the tourist heavy season so got a lot of privacy and quiet time, which was great!
Took a Tuktuk (like a rickshaw except its more spacious and hence comfortable) to Negombo city, and probably a 20 minute walk- to serendip bar, which i would categorize as a dhabba style bar. Found locals to be casual and fun people. Impressed by general cleanliness on the streets and the fresh air. Had a nice nights sleep at Amagi.
