点评:We don’t know how we would have ever come to know and love Sri Lanka, without our most wonderful guide and amazing driver, Charith. From the moment he met us on our arrival at the airport with his infectious smile, he made sure that every day of our twelve day tour of beautiful Sri Lanka, was memorable.
Nothing was too much trouble for Charith, from very early morning starts to visit wildlife parks, to late evening climbs to view amazing sunsets or detours to out of the way corners of the Sri Lankan countryside, we would never have otherwise experienced.
It was so easy to travel with Charith as he has a wonderful sense of humour, and is always happy to share a story. He is such a kind and compassionate man, and always thinking of us, what we might like, how we might feel, how he can make our trip more fun enjoyable.
Charith was a miracle worker. He conjured up train tickets when a booking we had made prior to our trip was declared invalid, due to a train cancellation resulting from damage during their recent cyclone, yet with his negotiating skills and charm soon had us on our way to Ella by rail. He also promised us we would see a leopard in Yala National Park. We thought it highly unlikely, but we did indeed see a leopard, high in a tree smiling down at us, before the end of our safari, with the help of his competent park guide on a wonderful day at Yala National Park.
Charith has given us an insight into Sri Lanka we never thought possible, nor had we expected, in just twelve days. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Sri Lanka, Charith will be one of the reasons for us to return!

对查里特来说,没有什么事是太麻烦的。无论是清晨出发去野生动物园,还是傍晚攀登欣赏壮丽的日落,亦或是绕道前往斯里兰卡乡村那些我们原本不可能体验到的偏僻角落,他都尽心尽力。
和查里特一起旅行非常轻松愉快,他幽默风趣,总是乐于分享故事。他是一位如此善良体贴的人,总是为我们着想,体贴我们的喜好和感受,想方设法让我们的旅程更加精彩。
查里特简直就是个奇迹创造者。由于最近的飓风导致火车停运,我们之前预订的火车票被宣布无效。他凭借出色的谈判技巧和个人魅力,很快就帮我们搞定了前往埃拉的火车票。他还承诺我们会在亚拉国家公园看到豹子。我们当时觉得这几乎不可能,但在亚拉国家公园美好的一天里,在经验丰富的公园向导的帮助下,我们真的看到了豹子,它高高地趴在树上,俯视着我们,仿佛在微笑。
短短十二天,查里特就让我们对斯里兰卡有了前所未有的深刻了解,这完全出乎我们的意料。如果我们有幸再次回到斯里兰卡,查里特将是我们重返此地的重要原因之一!
