reputable tour operators for Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka seems to be very cheap to go to. Me and my sister were considering it about 4 weeks ago, we had seen offers on https://www.travelmood.com and on http://www.mercury-direct.co.uk. You could get at least 10 days 5* for about £700 easily.

I have just come back from Sri Lanka and used First Choice, who were very good. They were quite expensive though (£1200 for 2 weeks), and they seem to only fly in for a very short window of time (I think maybe just Feb and March?)

Hopefully going back in July, just need to find a cheap flight now, as I will be 'backpacking'.

I don't know how long the promotional fares are valid for but currently you can get a return with Qatar Airways for about £380.

My recommendation ..... http://www.jetwing.com/

Jetwing are a major Sri Lankan travel company whose hotels and resources are featured and used by the likes of Kuoni.

Book your flights per Incapuppy with Qatar and your hotels/internal travel with Jetwing... Bob, Uncle, Fanny, Aunt.

Perhaps you need to accept that you were unlucky?

The following text from their website speaks for itself:

All our knowledge and experience wins us awards. Important ones. We've been voted the World's Leading Tour Operator at the World Travel Awards for the past 11 years. The Daily Telegraph's Ultratravel & Daily Mail readers each voted us Britain's favourite. And we've been Britain's Best Longhaul Tour Operator for the past 27 years, as voted by travel agents. This year, with your holiday, we'll show you why.
