Will I get a daily driving time chart before booking?

A high-quality itinerary proposal should really have estimated daily driving stretches between each stop, so you can judge the trip tempo. In Sri Lanka, road conditions are often painfully slow, and the number of kilometres, by itself, does not always mirror how long it takes to move around.

If an agency gives you a schedule that looks wildly packed, but they don’t spell out any transit times, you should push back. Well-trained planners make sure you are not stuck in a vehicle for six hours every day, while still balancing sightseeing with enough rest breaks.
