Local insight, planned around your pace

I grew up between Colombo and Kandy, so my tours mix city life, hill-country stories, and the small rituals that make Sri Lanka easier to understand.

Travelers usually book me when they want more than a checklist. I plan around heat, traffic, dress codes, meal times, and the interests of your group.

My favorite days start with a market or temple visit, leave room for a good local lunch, and end with practical advice for the rest of your trip.
