āIt was our best decision to choose Gomayu. We had a wonderful experience with GOMAYU during our Thailand trip. Hotels, Location and itinerary all were well planned and was according to our expectations. Response and communication was very good in Thailand as well. You made our trip very smooth, hassle free and stress free from begning to the end of our trip. This trip was memorable, as me and my husband got to celebrate our 20th wedding Anniversary together in the beautiful place of Thailand and credit goes to GOMAYU for all the arrangements . We are very much satisfied with your service and hope to have other trips with you soon. I would happily Recommend GOMAYU to my friends and family for their excellent service and professional support.ā
āMe and my family had a great 10 days trip to Vietnam and Bangkok. All thanks to the wonderful service of Gomayu. Thank you so much for making our trip so easy, fun and stress free.ā
āWe had an unforgettable 5D4N trip to Bali with Gomayu Holidays! From the very beginning, the communication was smooth, clear, and professional. Everything was perfectly organized; airport pickup, hotel check-ins, and daily tours were always on time, with no stress at all. Our stay was split between a beautiful private pool villa in Seminyak and a comfortable room at Grand Mega Resort, both of which exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-balanced with adventure, culture, and relaxation. We really enjoyed the watersports (banana boat, jet ski, parasailing), the stunning Uluwatu Temple with Kecak dance, and the romantic candlelight dinner at Jimbaran Beach. The Bali swing and tandem ATV ride were absolute highlights and so much fun! Visiting Lempuyang Temple (Gate of Heaven) was magical and very well arranged despite the crowds. We had some spare time to visit the malls and try local food as well. Special thanks to the guide and driver, who was friendly, helpful, super-flexible and always made sure we were comfortable. We didnāt have to worry about anything as everything was well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone planning a hassle-free and memorable Bali trip. Thank you, Gomayu Holidays, for making our holiday truly special!ā
āWe had a wonderful experience with Gomayau as our travel partner, with everything being well-organized and thoughtfully planned from start to finish, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable; the overall coordination was excellent, with timely arrangements and great attention to detail, and the teamās consistent support throughout the journey made a real difference, while communication remained easy and reliable, giving us confidence and peace of mind; we truly appreciated the professionalism and dedication in handling logistics and day-to-day planning, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the trip, and overall, it was a great experience that we will remember for future travels and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a hassle-free and well-managed trip.ā
āI recently traveled to Thailand with my wife through Gomayu Holidays, and it was a wonderful experience. The trip was very well organized, from airport transfers to hotel arrangements and sightseeing tours. Everything went smoothly, and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation without any stress. I would definitely recommend Gomayu Holidays to anyone looking for a well-planned and memorable travel experience.ā

Sri Lanka's South Coast, Built Around the Water
This 6-day itinerary is designed around Sri Lanka's south coast at its most water-focused: watersports and a mangrove safari in Bentota, reef snorkeling in Hikkaduwa, and a closing day combining Galle Fort's colonial heritage with a stop at one of the coast's most sheltered swimming bays. It works well as a standalone beach trip or as the closing leg of a longer Sri Lanka itinerary that starts inland.
Arrival and Bentota
The trip begins at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), with a transfer south along the Southern Expressway to Bentota, one of Sri Lanka's most established beach resort towns. Day 1 is left unscheduled beyond check-in, giving travelers an easy first evening to settle in and catch the sunset from the beach.
Watersports and the Madu River
Day 2 opens with a full slate of watersports directly off the Bentota beach, including jet ski, banana boat, tube rides, and speedboat outings, before shifting to a genuinely different pace with the Madu River mangrove safari. The river, a UNESCO-recognized wetland system spread across dozens of small islands, offers a close look at Sri Lanka's mangrove ecosystem along with a stop at a cinnamon plantation, reflecting the south coast's long history in the spice trade. The day closes at the Kosgoda turtle hatchery, where visitors can take part in releasing hatchlings into the sea, a program aimed at supporting sea turtle conservation along this stretch of coast.
Hikkaduwa's Coral Sanctuary
Day 3 heads to Hikkaduwa, known for its shallow coral sanctuary just offshore. A glass-bottom boat ride offers a first look at the reef without getting in the water, followed by snorkeling directly among green turtles that feed close to the beach, one of Hikkaduwa's most reliable wildlife encounters. Returning to Bentota for the evening keeps the accommodation base consistent across the trip's first four nights.
A Free Day to Rest
Day 4 is left entirely open, with the beach and resort pool as the default plan. For travelers wanting more activity, deep-sea fishing, river kayaking, or an extended watersports package are all available locally, while an Ayurvedic massage offers a more restful option, drawing on Sri Lanka's long tradition of Ayurvedic wellness treatments.
Galle Fort and the Move to Negombo
Day 5 covers the trip's cultural centerpiece: Galle Fort, a walled colonial-era town built first by the Portuguese and later expanded by the Dutch, with ramparts, narrow lanes, and a working lighthouse that visitors can walk largely at their own pace. Lunch inside the fort walls, among its cafes and restaurants, gives a good sense of how the fort functions as a lived-in town rather than a preserved museum piece. A stop at Unawatuna, known for its calm, sheltered bay, adds a final beach moment before the drive north to Negombo for the trip's last night, positioning travelers close to the airport ahead of an early departure.
Getting Home
Day 6 is kept simple, with an early breakfast and a short transfer, roughly 20 minutes, to Bandaranaike International Airport for departure.
Best Time to Visit
December through April is the clearest and calmest window for this itinerary's south coast route, with settled seas that suit the Bentota watersports, Hikkaduwa snorkeling, and generally more comfortable travel conditions throughout. The south coast shifts to its monsoon side outside this window, roughly May through September, bringing rougher water and stronger currents that can affect both comfort and safety for water-based activities.
Practical Notes for Nepali Travelers
Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is the local currency, with exchange facilities available in Bentota, Hikkaduwa, and Galle. Reef-safe sunscreen is worth packing given the amount of time spent around Hikkaduwa's coral sanctuary and the general beach-and-water focus of this itinerary. Modest dress is appreciated when visiting temples along the way, and since several days involve extended time in and around the water, quick-dry clothing and a change of clothes kept easily accessible make the transitions between activities smoother.
