    Trekking up Alagalla was a highlight, offering stunning views that made the climb worth every step. We loved wandering through Saradiel Village, where the locals shared stories over tea; just a tip—maybe a bit more time there would have let us soak it all in!

    Exploring the Saradiel Village and trekking up Alagalla was a refreshing break from our busy schedules. The stunning mountain views made the hike worthwhile, and the local village offered a charming glimpse into daily life in Sri Lanka. Our transportation was smooth, but a bit more information on the history of the area during the ride would have added to the experience.

    We had an exhilarating time trekking through the lush landscapes surrounding the village, with stunning mountain views that made every step worth it. The transportation to the start point was seamless, making it easy for our family to jump right into the adventure. One minor suggestion would be to allow for a bit more time at the summit to fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery before heading back down.
