Nimal is a very kind and considerate driver. He was flexible with our needs — I am a bird lover, and he suggested some great places for me to watch birds. Nimal is an assertive driver, which is needed in Sri Lanka. We felt safe with him.

Stories from the road

Notes, recommendations, the occasional rant.

Things we've learned over twenty-five years that don't fit into an itinerary.

Ella train

The Ella train, honestly

It is as beautiful as Instagram says. It is also crowded, slow, and you should probably not sit at the doorway. What we book instead.

Yala leopard

Why Yala's leopards stay close

Yala has the highest leopard density on Earth. After 25 years driving the park, here are the gates, hours and seasons that actually work.

Galle Fort

Galle, after the day-trippers leave

Most tours give Galle two hours and a fort walk. The real charm shows up after sunset — three streets, four restaurants, one ramparts walk.
