For excursions - it is better to take a tour with an excursion right away. The difference in price is insignificant, and there will be much less problems. Although usually representatives of travel companies come to hotels on certain days. But why do you need to pay for the hotel and pay for hotels during the tour? (As a rule, it doesn’t happen there for one day, because the country is not a plain and 300 km is about 6 hours drive.
What is interesting to visit - Sigiriya, Kandy (botanical garden), Nuwara Eliya. They say interesting national parks - but was. Didn't really like the Elephant Orphanage... not worth a special trip there.

Have not been to this hotel. I can advise on the weather and excursions. We had 85 days of the excursion program, all interesting excursions are in the center of the island, so in order not to wander back and forth and see a lot, it is better to immediately take an excursion tour + beach vacation. I liked the excursion, we were in the temple of 1000 buddhas, in Sigiriya (we climbed Mount Lion to see the frescoes of the "Sigiriya Maidens"), visited the elephant nursery, the botanical garden (this is the only excursion that we did not like). Arriving on the coast, the guys went fishing, they really liked it. Weather. Get ready for the fact that every day it rains, it can be 1 hour, or maybe 3. This happens even when it is not the rainy season. We were in January. But this does not bother, because. it usually rains at lunchtime, when you can sit at the bar, have lunch, and not soar in the sun or just take a nap in the room. In general, I liked the island. Very carefully when choosing a hotel, we had to change the hotel. Good luck!

We were, of course, not 85 days, but 5 excursion + 5 days beach vacation. Only the beach is boring!

I totally agree excursion + beach - the best option! At the same time, as a rule, they carry around the country in a passenger car - driver + guide + 2 people in the back seat.
Just take an English-speaking guide, if the language allows - they have no Russian at all.
And we are the opposite of a bot. I really liked the garden in Kandy!
Some drunken Christmas trees are worth!!! And to see the tree that Gagarin or Nikolai 2 planted?!
And it is not clear why the links that I tried to leave on a guide to Ceylon are tinder here. In general, to whom it will be interesting, write in a personal - I will tell you the address.

Yeah! We ordered a Russian-speaking guide from Moscow. In Russian, he only said "hello" :) Of course he tried ... but it was terrible, because. it was impossible to understand anything ... English is better. And with the garden, we probably just got unlucky. The tropical rain was pouring down, there was no time for festivities. The garden with archeids is poor in winter, because. many of them simply did not bloom. A couple of trees are really impressive. As for the trees planted by our compatriots... a couple of ordinary trees... are only significant for those who planted them :) And one more thing! For those who are going on excursions. The center of the island seems to be not so far away (this is where the entire excursion program is), 200 km, but you will drive for 5 hours, because. traffic on the island is disgusting, as are the roads themselves. There are no rules, everyone travels at a speed of 20 km / h, so one excursion will take you all day! And you just don't want the second :)
