Sri Lanka best cricket stadium tour - go behind the scenes?
3 Answers from travellers
Behind-the-scenes tours exist informally: (1) R. Premadasa Stadium (Colombo) - occasional public tours arranged via Sri Lanka Cricket. (2) SSC (Sinhalese Sports Club) - member's club, may allow visitors through the museum with prior contact. (3) Galle International Stadium - one of world's most beautiful cricket grounds, walk the boundary from outside easily, tour arranged via SLC on request. (4) Pallekele International Cricket Stadium (Kandy) - modern, tours possible. Contact Sri Lanka Cricket (srilankacricket.lk) 2-3 weeks ahead. USD 25-75 per person for guided behind-the-scenes.
Best experience: attend a live match at Galle (Test match is unforgettable - Fort visible from stands, ocean beyond) or Pallekele (evening T20/ODI). Combine with stadium tour on non-match day. Cricket museum at SSC is fascinating for enthusiasts.
