I have known the Pan Lanka team for over 10 years, and utilized their services for a wide range of Sri Lanka client experiences: beach, culture and wildlife itineraries, tailor-made holidays and groups, and a range of accommodation standards. Pan Lanka have always provided professional, prompt and competitively-priced services, developed excellent working relationships, and maintained strong relationships across the industry.

Audley Travel has worked with Gulam, Ratten and the team at Pan Lanka for 15 years since launching the Sri Lanka program.

Their attention to detail, fast quote turnaround and in-depth knowledge of the country were key factors in our growth.
