After driving our tuktuk all the way from Colombo to Jaffna, the Northern point of Sri Lanka, it is time to make our way back to Negombo not too far from the country's capital city. So our journey starts just outside the Wilpattu National Park were we went on our first Asian safari and our goal is to drive all the way to Sigirya.

During our stay in Sigirya, we stayed at a beautiful homestay called Lyion Rest with the nicest host you can get. The reason for our small detour to Sigiriya was to climb Pidurangala for sunrise which was totally worth the extra kilometres and the early wake up.

From Sigiriya, we drove down to Negombo where we stayed for 5 days. We stayed in a small hotel in the centre of the the town which made everything easy. Because we did not go down to the South coast of Sri Lanka, we had not stepped on a beach yet so we sent straight to Negombo Beach to enjoy the sun, the sand and the ocean for a few hours. From There we had to visit the Negombo Fish Market, the largest one in Sri Lanka because markets are our favorite!

There is no better way to explore Sri Lanka than with you own tuktuk and this is why we got Roti (our tuktuk) from our friends at Tuktuk Rental. This amazing social company allows local Sri Lankans to rent their tuktuk to tourist creating a new stream of income for them. The tuktuks are all well maintained by the Tuktuk rental team and if you have never driven one, don't worries they will teach you everything you need to know!
