I'm Abdul, your local expert for Sri Lanka

Plan trip with Abdul

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.
