Writing about one of her excursions during her visit, Nita Lal says that the excursion took her to the enchanting 15-acre estate of Lunuganga, an exquisite piece of property that is a tropical rendition of an Italian garden. Fringing Deduwa Lake, and it is one of the world’s most magical garden retreats complete with statues, courtyards and lily ponds that flank secret pathways.
It was followed by a boat safari on the River Madhu, and the boat glided on the shimmering water, coursing through thick mangroves and rich flora and fauna. She also describes viewing the primitive style of fishing and prawn trapping still practised by the island’s inhabitants.
Neeta also praises about facilities available in Sri Lanka including rejuvenating massage and scrub available at Spas, state of the art fitness centres, the delicious food, spice infused curries and stews Sri Lanka is famous for, fine hotels, water sports activities, well connected road network to Colombo, and ayurvedic treatments.
