We flew to Sri Lanka through Zhuliany. It turned out even better than through Boryspil, and there were fewer people, and it was quiet. We arrived in Colombo at 8 o'clock in the morning, and arrived in Kogallu at the beginning of 11. We drove along the autobahn.
At the airport, we bought a Dialog SIM card for 1300 rupees. (850 to the account), enough for the whole time + 150 rupees left. They changed 300 dollars at the rate of 128.2 rupees = 1 dollar, but it is better to change at Chintaki for 130 rupees.
Upon arrival at the hotel, they brought fresh juices and dry rations, because they did not have time for breakfast. We settled in a bungalow. Everything you need in the room was: refrigerator, hair dryer, fan, air conditioning. Everything worked. We took breakfast and dinner and did not lose.

This was enough to head. I recommend taking dinners, because at least the ticket will be a little more expensive for the money, but you don’t have to go to the cafe in the evening and overpay. It will end up being cheaper. Plus, it gets dark early (at 17.30-18 hours) and the locals go home.
There is no one on the street. The restaurant serves good and varied food, you won't go hungry.

Immediately contacted Chintaka.
We discussed the whole holiday: where to go, what to see. Scheduled for 5 days.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND him. Honest, responsible. You will not be disappointed. He bought us large shrimp (1 kg. = 1000 rupees), he cooked them himself with sauce. I did not take money for cooking, religion does not allow. Even gave us 1.5 liters. coconut oil, 0.5 kg. tea. From the heart, just like that.
Always in touch and arrived quickly. Delicious cooked fish that we bought in Galle.
He can advise where to buy, at what price, from whom, he even helped to drop the price!

I strongly recommend the 2 day Sigiriya-Kandy):

1st day: - Elephant riding
- Elephant Nursery
-Sigiriya
-Buddhist temple in the rock, there is also a Buddha museum

2nd day: Kandy
- Temple of the Tooth Relic
-Spice garden
-Royal Botanic Garden
- Silk shop (recommended! )
-Waterfalls
-Tea plantations + factory
- Nuwara Eliya Market.

Be sure to visit the market, Chintaka knows, things (Columbia, Adidas, Nike, The North Face, etc. ) are branded for VERY funny money.
As long as you trade.

Ocean of impressions! Carried Chintaka. We were 6 people. , paid for everything (entrance tickets and an overnight stay at the Kandy hotel, dinner, breakfast) for $ 135 per person.
We went to Lake Kagalla, saw a big crocodile. Lucky. We went to the place ourselves. In Galle we went by bus for 30 rupees. per person (No. 350)

Everything cannot be described in 2 words, but you need to go for at least 2 weeks!
