Arrest of Sri Lanka's top military officer

8/31/2018

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, a court ordered the arrest of Sri Lanka's top military officer, Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne, for allegedly helping Chandana Prasad Hettiarachchi, a navy intelligence officer, to escape prosecution. The latter was accused of being involved in kidnapping 11 young men between in the final stages of the cicil war end in 2008 and 2009. Hettiarachchi was arrested earlier this month in Colombo after a months-long manhunt that saw an alert issued worldwide. Sri Lanka's chief of defence staff Admiral Wijegunaratne allegedly gave half a million Sri Lanka rupees in cash to support the attempted excape.

Perahera season in Sri Lanka

8/29/2018

0 Comments

 
As mentioned yesterday, this year's Kandy Perahera is history. However, spectacular Peraheras with dozens of adorned elephants and plenty of dance groups are not only held in Kandy. The rainy season from July till September is the main season of Buddhist festivals, though Peraheras are celebrated throughout the year. You will find more information on our Perahera page, where you can simply scroll down to find information about alternatives to the Kandy Perahera. The next big event is Bellanwila Perahara in Colombo.

Best dates for seeing the Kandy festival 2019

8/28/2018

0 Comments

 
This year's Kandy Perahera is over now. There was some confusion concerning the precise dates, as the date given on the tooth temple website differed one day from that on the private company's booking page the tooth temple website linked, too.

It often happened, that guests booking their Sri Lanka holidays many months in advance asked us for the respective August dates of the Kandy Perahera during their next holidays. Regrettably, the official dates are usually neither published before November or December - and even then can be confusing, see above.

So what to do, if you want to reserve your rooms for Kandy Perahera some more months in advance, which makes sense indeed, because Kandy hotels and guesthouses of course are usually fully booked several months before the great event takes place.

We highly recommend: Just don't insist to see the final night of the Kandy Perahera. Though it's indeed the climax of the Kandy festival fortnight, this very last evening parade is not larger than the pageants held on the four evenings earlier on. The processions of the five final nights are called Randoli Peraheras. If you see the first one of them, the number of dancers and elephants and the sequence of ceremonies will not differ much from the Perahera of the final night. The main difference is: There are much less visitors in the streets of Kandy on the evening of the first Randoli Perahera.

And here is why this information about 5 subsequent almost equally arranged Randoli Peraheras in Kandy matters for your decision concerning the date of your overnight stay in Kandy.

In general, the final night of the Kandy Perahera festival season is held on the full moon marking the end of the Sinhalese month Esala. This is the full moon night in August. But you should be aware: The date can differ one or even two days from that you find in your calendar. One reason is that according to different time zones the hour or minute of full moon in Sri Lanka can be after midnight, whereas the same second is still before midnight in Europe or America. In this case, the fullmoon day and accordingly the final Perahera in Kandy falls on a date one day earlier than that of full moon in Western countries. And there is one more problem concerning the exact date: What counts, is not the astronomical full moon mentioned in your calendar but the astrological full moon of Sri Lankan priests. And this also can differ one day from your calendar's full moon day.

So what to do, if you want to book early in advance without knowing the exact dates

Our advice is: Book the your overnight stays in Kandy for dates that are two days earlier than the August full moon in your calendar. Doing so you can be sure not to miss one of the five largest pageants, the said Randoli Peraheras. If the astrological full moon day in Sri Lanka is the same August day as in your calendar, you would see the 3rd Randoli Perahera in Kandy. If the astrological date is 2 days earlier than in your calendar, then you would see the last parade. If the official astrological date should turn out to be 2 days later than acoording to your calendar, you would not miss the Randoli Perahera, you would see the first one. And you can be quite sure: The difference between astrological festival full moon and the August full moon mentioned in your calendar will usually be only 1 day, sometimes 2 days, but not more. Hence, booking the day two days prior to your August full moon day will guarantee that you don't miss a Randoli Perahera - unless the Perahera dates would be not determined concerning the August full moon day. But during the last years, the final festival night in Kandy was always held on the astrological full moon day of August.

What does this advice of booking "the night 2 days earlier" mean in case of the Kandy Perahera 2019?

In short: Astronomical August full moon date of next year's Kandy festival fortnight is on Thursday, 15th August 2019, (the astronomical one, not necessarily the defining astrological one!). It's pretty certain: You will not miss a huge Randoli Perahera (one of the five most famous large pageants of the Kandy festival), if you reserve a room for the night from Tuesday, 13th August, to Wednesday, 14th August 2019. This is our tip. For more detailed information concerning events and dates please visit our Kandy Festival 2019 main page...

Be aware, that prices for overnight stays in Kandy during the main festival week can double or even triple. Here's another tip: If you accept to have a one-hour transfer after seeing the evening parade, booking a room in Matale (to the north of Kandy) or in Gampola (to the southwest) instead of staying that night in Kandy can reduce your costs drastically.

The numbers of visitors to our website has increased fourfold within one year and we observed a further increase in the last week. But to be honest, the resonance of the blog has not yet met expectations. We hope to receive more feedback when introducing travel reports additionally next year.

Executions announced in Sri Lanka

8/23/2018

0 Comments

 
Concerning the increasing problem of drug smuggling, President Maithripala Sirisena said on Wednesday that Sri Lanka will soon take measures to reintroduce capital punishment after a 42-year moratorium, although the European Union asked to reconsider this decision that had been announced already last month. It's not entirely clear whether executions by hanging will be resumed within Sri Lanka, too, as the President proposed as a first step to send five foreign nationals sentenced to death for drug smuggling for execution back to Pakistan.

Concerning B2B quotations

8/22/2018

0 Comments

 
Travel agencies requesting B2B-quotations for high season 2018 should please let us know some specifications concerning the following questions, allowing us to provide meaningful information:
 
- Do you intend to send bus groups of more than 10 pax or are most of your travellers independent couples?
 
- What is the time frame for your round tours, approximately? We can offer standard round tour itineraries including highlights, for about 5 to 10 days. For our private customers, we offer 2- or 3-weeks intense travel experiences including less-visited places and some special activities.
 
- Are there some must-sees or must-dos that should be included in the itinery?
