I am deeply passionate about my country, rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. This island is a tapestry of wonders, from the misty hills of Nuwara Eliya to the golden beaches of Mirissa, each corner offering something unique and memorable. Through my work, I strive to share these treasures, helping you experience the beauty and spirit of Sri Lanka while creating magical memories that will stay with you forever. One of my favorite places is Ella, a charming town in the central highlands. Famous for its lush tea plantations, scenic hiking trails, and iconic landmarks like the Nine Arches Bridge, Ella perfectly embodies the serenity and adventure of Sri Lanka.

“What a an amazing trip that was organised. They listen to us and plan a trip catered towards our needs. With a few very pleasant surprises. Our Driver Amile was very informative and entertaining. The selection of accommodations to the unique experiences they organised were above and beyond expected. Would highly recommend.”

“We had one week to see and do as much as we could and also have a bit of relaxation and keep within our budget. Our travel advisor Hashini and our driver/guide Rajitha delivered this and more. Our flight was delayed so our itinerary had to be altered a little but we still got to do all that was on the list. Rajitha also gave us different options that suited as alternatives. We especially enjoyed the National park jeep safari to see the elephants and the village experiences with cookery class. The local authentic food that Rajintha brought us to enjoy was fabulous. Ending our week with a relaxing stay at Buckingham Place in Tangelle was perfect. The staff there were just so helful and friendly and the accommodation was great. Actually all our accommodation on this teip was very good. Even after the country suffered from severe floods and lindslides following the storm in late November, the Sri Lankan welcome and courtesy was in abundance everywhere we went. We saw some of the devastation and take our hats off to the tourist industry who still managed to maintain their high standards. I would use Rough Guides and definitely recommend them for a tailored experience.”

“We recently got back from a two week holiday in Sri Lanka after contacting Rough Guides for help / inspiration. They put us in touch with a local company, who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience during our time on the Island. We genuinely couldn't have had a better holiday. After asking about the type of experiences we enjoyed, and asking if there were any particular places we wanted to visit or things we wanted to do, Hashini put together an itinerary for us that was absolutely perfect. She recommended a family stay (something we hadn't done before) and we stayed with a local family for a couple of nights which was really lovely (thanks to Sandrine for organising). Ladha and her family were so welcoming and in spite of the fact we couldn't speak one another's languages we had a great time and laughed a lot (fabulous food too!). They were also really helpful and organised a great day with a local guide in Batticaloa which we can't recommend highly enough. We also had the best tour guide you could wish for during our stay. There was nothing Sumudu couldn't do! He was a great guide, wildlife expert (often stopping on the roadside to show us animals he'd seen), facilitator - offering ideas for new things to see or do on the Island we hadn't thought of, translator and of course, provided the best customer service we have ever had. Wherever we went he ensured we got there safely (e.g. always waiting until we had checked into hotels before he left - whatever time of night we got there) and he turned up with a clean car - inside and out - every morning! There were so many other things he did for us; thank you Sumudu, you were amazing. The people of Sri Lanka were so welcoming and it is a truly wonderful country. We were so sad to leave and will definitely go back - next time for longer. Two weeks simply isn't enough to experience everything the country has to offer. Thank you Hashini, Sandrine and especially Sumudu, who made our stay so special. We'd like to keep the island to ourselves but it's way too good. Please go and enjoy (and we recommend Rough Guides)”

I was born in a small village in the hills of Kandy, surrounded by the stunning Knuckles Mountain Range, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Since 2012, I have travelled across Sri Lanka, exploring its coasts, highlands, and hidden corners. Every place has a story from ancient history and diverse cultures to village life and religious traditions. I’m passionate about our delicious local dishes, which varies by region, and I love hiking and trekking through the mountains I call home. Let me guide you through the real Sri Lanka, its people, nature, food, and untold trails.

“The guide is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. I do wish his English would be a little better. Sometimes it’s difficult to convey to him or understand what he is trying to tell us. But otherwise he is a great guide and eventually we do communicate after repeating ourselves. The trip has been wonderful and everything we have seen has been very interesting. However a few days we were done at 12-1pm and back to the hotel to essentially do nothing. Tomorrow nothing is planned and we are just spending the entire day at the hotel. We could have shortened the trip by a couple days had we known that. But overall we have enjoyed the trip and all we have seen and the guide has been very good.”

My journey begins amidst the picturesque landscapes of Uttarakhand, a region renowned for its natural beauty that captivates travelers from all corners of the Indian subcontinent. It was here that my dormant passion for trekking and exploration was ignited, eventually evolving into a vocation as I pursued my studies in tourism.

Through my work, I channel this passion to fulfill the dreams of my fellow travelers, crafting bespoke experiences that unveil the essence of India's rich culture and vibrant festivals.

“We used Rough Guides to arrange our trip to India. We started in Delhi for the Rajasthan touring experience and in the 2nd week of our holiday we headed South to Kerala. From the first interaction with Rough Guides website through to the final goodbye at Delhi airport the service we received was first class. The itinerary was top class. All the transfers were seamless, the guides charming and the hotels were exactly as described. We really felt in all regards the holiday was a great success.”

“I had a pleasure to finding Insight Guides totally by accident and decided to use them during my travels in India. We have been matched with a fantastic Amit and his company, who has then created a bespoke itinerary for me and my friend, and adjusted our stay to a shorter period of time (as we were there for the wedding and using the rest of the week to travel around). As we were 2 women travelling by ourselves, I can now safely say, we wouldn't be able to do it without the travel operator. Thanks to flexibility and tailoring bespoke experience, we have had a great time :) I will be recommending Insight Travels to all my friends”

My love affair with Sri Lanka began in 2010, when I started managing boutique hotels in Sri Lanka. Working in the country gave me the opportunity to learn about the country in a completely different way than if I had visited as a tourist. 

The longer I worked there and got to know the island as a tourist destination, the more I saw travelers only seeing the commercial highlights of the island. I wanted to change that and show travelers the real Sri Lanka. That’s when I moved from hospitality to the travel industry so I could share the true nature of this island, which I value so much.
