OVERVIEW
Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), a tiny island nation south of India in the Indian Ocean, is a rugged land of rainforest, diverse wildlife and endless beaches. If golden beaches, rising waves, misty mountains, mighty elephants, stealthy leopards, giant whales, a majestic past, lovely tea and warm smiles could sum up a country, that would be Sri Lanka. It’s famed for its ancient Buddhist ruins, including the 5th-century citadel Sigiriya, with its palace and frescoes, and the sacred city of Anuradhapura. Its flavorful cuisine reflects its history as a maritime hub and cultural melting pot. Cricket is the most popular sport in Sri Lanka. Rugby union is also popular. Other popular sports are water sports, badminton, soccer, basketball and tennis. One can expect to visit places like Kandy, Hikkaduwa, Bentota and Colombo.

We were absolutely delighted with our 12 days trip – the boys didn’t want it to end! Thanks for all your efforts in organising (especially last minute changes), making things run so smoothly.

This is an experience that most of our boys will never forget. Great bunch of guys and a great tour operator. I am sure we would like to come back again one day and recommend highly of Melsh tours.
Neil Carter – Head Coach
It was our first tour to India and most of our students as well. It was a hard decision but as soon as we landed into Delhi, it was just another story. I couldn’t have expected more out of this tour.
Lewis Greevy – Head Coach
I am thrilled to be in India and Mumbai is a great city with its bright and colorful lifestyle. Cricket games and logistics have been amazing throughout with warm and helpful people. I definitely recommended Melsh Sports Tours to anyone who wants to plan India for their next cricket tour.

We had a long 16 day tour to India with 7 games in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Mumbai. Right from fantastic hotels to transfers and then competitive games, then some great sightseeing for the boys, everything has been really smooth and very professionally managed. I congratulate all involved and thank you to the whole team of Melsh Sports Tours.
