FAQ

Q. How long would it take to complete both Sigiriya and Village Tour respectively?

Sigiriya Rock Fortress > The climb all the way to the top can take between 2-3 hours, depending on your fitness level, how crowded the place is and how many pictures you are shooting.
Sigiriya Village Tour > Around 02.5 hours with cooking class.

Q. Should I skip beaches in Sri Lanka if I’m staying in Maldives?

Sri Lanka is lot more diverse when comparing with Maldives when it comes to its landscapes, nature, fauna, history and architecture. You can get a true Asian experience in Sri Lanka while discovering rich heritage, wildlife, greenery and hills, etc. Depending on the season you travel, we would recommend 1-2 nights stay either on the South or East coast of Sri Lanka, unless if it’s a beach-oriented holiday.

Q.When is the best time to visit Maldives for a perfect Beach Holiday?

Maldives is an all-season destination! You can experience a tropical climate, sunshine-filled days and temperatures averaging 30°C all year round. Diving is good at any time of the year; yet the monsoon season (May-October) is the best season for Manta Rays and spot other marine life due to the higher quantities of plankton.

Q. What are the most popular excursions that I shouldn’t miss in Maldives?

  • Snorkeling Boat Trip
  • House Reef
  • Sunset Cruise
  • Sandbank Picnic
  • Night Fishing
  • Spot Dolphins or Whale Sharks
  • Visit a Deserted Island
