Sri Lanka's lush hill country, where the art of tea-making meets breathtaking scenery, is a true paradise: strolling through the green tea plantations with the invigorating scent of tea leaves in the air, then enjoying a hot cup of Ceylon tea on a cool evening in Nuwara Eliya, is a real blessing for any traveller.

Bio

Sri Lanka has always been home for me. Born and raised here, I've grown up surrounded by the island's beautiful landscapes, rich culture, incredible food, and, most importantly, its warm and welcoming people.

Based in Colombo, I help you discover Sri Lanka in a way that feels personal and authentic. I enjoy creating trips that are not just about ticking off the famous sights, but about finding the right experiences, places to stay, and little moments that make your journey special.

Whether you want to hike through the mountains, explore local villages, experience Sri Lankan food, spot wildlife, or simply relax on a quiet beach, I'll help you create a trip that suits your interests and your pace.

My goal is simple: to make planning your Sri Lanka holiday easy and stress-free, while helping you experience the island beyond the usual tourist route.

When I'm planning a route, I like connecting a few of the ancient sites in the Cultural Triangle, such as Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa, with a couple of days up in the hill country around Ella or Nuwara Eliya, before finishing on the coast where there's time to actually slow down. Every region feels different, and getting the order and pacing right makes a big difference to how the trip actually feels once you're on the ground.

I've spent years working out which routes make sense together and which ones just add unnecessary driving, so I try to build itineraries that let you see a proper mix of the country without spending half your holiday in a car.

The Cultural Triangle is where I'd send anyone curious about the island's history, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa alone are worth the detour. And there's always a beach at the end, usually somewhere quiet on the south coast, for a few days of doing very little.
