Colombo (CMB) Airport to Nuwara Eliya City Private Transfer

For us Japanese, it is natural that women and children can walk alone in the city at night. People from many countries would be surprised at how safe Japan is at night, with many shops open and the city being clean as a result.

Another appealing feature is that famous spots like Gion, which are crowded during the day, are less crowded at night and you can enjoy a more mystical atmosphere.

Although it doesn't have the same absolute advantages as during the day, E-Bikes still offer a great experience in Kyoto at night. It's faster than a taxi, more comfortable than walking, and you can climb hills and look down at the night view. The only drawback is that you can't drink alcohol.

You can enjoy to observe lovely wild monkeys bathing in an outdoor hot spring at Snow Monkey Park. Each monkey has different personality and it's quite fun to be able to watch them from very close.
After the monkey park, we are visiting an old Shinto shrine called Togakushi shrine which has been one of the most important place for the mountain worship since ancient era. The shrine and precincts forest are all covered with thick snow during the winter season. However,by snowshoeing, it is the perfect opportunity to discover areas that are inaccessible any other time of the year. Frozen bodies of water and a heavy carpet of snow make otherwise untraversable terrain accessible. I will lead you to these undisturbed areas, so you can explore and appreciate the unspoiled nature around you.
I'm a National Government licensed guide interpreter as well as licensed mountain trekking guide.
Let's have a cup of coffee on the snow made table and chair :)
