â Who we are
We are not a travel
agency.
We are your
guides
home.
A small, passionate team born from a deep love for Sri Lanka â and a belief that every traveller
deserves to feel it the way we do.
â Our Story
Sri Lanka didn’t need
another tour operator.
It needed
us.
Ceylon Experience was not born in a boardroom. It was born from years of watching travellers leave Sri Lanka having seen its surface â and missing everything that makes it extraordinary
We are a Sri Lanka-based team, rooted in the local culture, language, and landscape. We grew up here. We know the road that opens into a view no guidebook mentions. We know the temple that is quiet before dawn. We know the fisherman who will take you out if you ask the right way.
That knowledge is what we build every journey from. Not templates. Not packages. Honest, handcrafted itineraries that carry a piece of our genuine love for this island.
What Drives Us âÂ
Three things we will
never compromise on.
These aren’t values we put on a wall. They’re the decisions we make every day when we build your itinerary.
Sri Lanka is personal to us.
We are not intermediaries reselling someone else's Sri Lanka. This is our home. Every recommendation we make, every hotel, every road, every experience, we have tested, trusted, and genuinely love. If we wouldn't take our own family there, we won't take you there.
No two journeys should look the same.
A couple on a honeymoon. A family with three children. A solo traveller who wants to get lost on purpose. These are three completely different Sri Lankas. We listen before we plan, and we build around who you actually are, not who we assume you to be.
Travel should leave a place better.
Responsible tourism is not a marketing line for us. We work exclusively with local partners who share our values. We support communities, not just economies. And every journey with Ceylon Experience contributes directly to The Hope, our initiative building futures across Sri Lanka's schools and villages.
â The Experience
What it actually looks like
to travel
with us.
You tell us who you are.
Not just how many days and what budget. We want to know what kind of traveller you are, what moves you, what exhausts you, what you've always wanted to see.
We build your journey from scratch.
A real person on our team, not a template engine, designs your itinerary by hand. We go back and forth until it feels right. No rush. No cookie-cutter packages.
We take care of everything.
Accommodation, transfers, guides, activities, dietary preferences, airport pickups at 3am, it's all handled. You arrive. We take care of the rest.
We're with you the whole time.
Our team is reachable throughout your trip. If something changes, weather, plans, a recommendation you want to add last-minute, we're a message away.
â â The People Behind Every Journey
Two people.
One shared
obsession.
Udana and Ravindu built Ceylon Experience because they believed Sri Lanka deserved to be shared, properly. Not as a product. As an experience.
Chief Executive Officer
Udana Methmal
Sri Lanka’s magic has captivated me for years. It’s more than a destination, it’s about connections and memories that stay long after you leave. At The Ceylon Experience, we don’t just book trips. We curate journeys that unlock Sri Lanka’s true essence, responsibly and with heart.
Chief Executive Officer
Ravindu Vihanga
Travel ignites curiosity and connection. My passion is crafting journeys that blend adventure, comfort, and cultural immersion seamlessly. I believe that when every operational detail is handled with care, the traveller can be fully present, and that’s when the magic happens.
Every journey you book
contributes toÂ
something bigger.
The Hope is our ongoing commitment to channelling the power of travel into lasting change, across schools, communities, and futures throughout Sri Lanka. Because we believe a business that takes from a place has a responsibility to give back to it.
