Being in the world of numbers and figures, I discovered a new equation, one that revolves around adventure, culture, and the boundless beauty of Sri Lanka. My journey with Blue Lanka Tours has transformed me from a numbers person to a passionate traveler, forever seeking excuses to explore the magnificent tapestry of my homeland.

My journey is guided by a desire to dive into the essence of Sri Lanka’s history at the sacred Mihintale Temple, while exploring the roots of Buddhism. A stroll around the Kandy lake offers a peaceful escape, and the Minneriya Jeep safari provides thrilling wildlife encounters.

My Leading Leisure Interests

The impact of these experiences has reverberated within the depths of my soul.

Birds Watching

Bird watching

Even though it might sound boring when you hear it, you really need to try it to know the difference. Bird watching is both peaceful and exciting especially when you have an expert guiding you and assisting you in spotting the rare ones. That is the highlight of it and you never know how many species you can spot in one session.
