Our guide during the trip was Shan (Rushan) and he was the highlight of our trip. He was great with our 2 kids and was always in exceptional spirits with a smile on his face. He had great recommendations for food and activities. He also had great knowledge of the sights and culture and history. He was always patient with us and was quick to adjust our itinerary and plans if we got delayed due to any reason.

When it came to actual execution – Nimesha and Rushan did an outstanding job. We were travelling with senior citizen parents and therefore we were extra cautious – Rushan became like our…

Little Bit More About Me.
Q. Describe Sri Lanka in 3 words.
Beautiful, fabulous country
Q. Where is your favourite place to visit in Sri Lanka?
Sri Pada (Adam’s Peak)
Q. What Sri Lankan food is your go-to pick-me-up?
A glass of Faluda
Q. Why do you think responsible travel matters?
Responsible travellers directly support local businesses, guides, and other tourism-related services, ensuring that tourism revenue benefits the community. By travelling responsibly, we shift tourism from being extractive to regenerative. Instead of draining resources, we contribute to restoring them.
Q. What is your favourite part about working with Blue Lanka Tours?
Guiding visitors and sharing the beauty of Sri Lanka with them. I love how deeply we care about each traveller’s journey. It’s not just about offering tours, but about creating experiences that truly reflect their dreams. That personal touch makes our service meaningful and rewarding.
Q. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I would make every nation in the world a democracy, so that every person has a genuine voice in shaping their society. True democratic systems ensure equality, accountability, and representation, allowing people to participate in decisions that affect their lives. By promoting transparency, fairness, and civic engagement, societies can become more just and resilient. A stronger democracy would empower individuals, protect rights, and foster a sense of shared responsibility for the common good.
