In 2016, Gihan was in his final year of business studies. For one of his final assignments, he was asked to present a business plan for a new venture. What began as a classroom project soon felt like something more — a real possibility taking shape. Inspired by that assignment and driven by youthful enthusiasm, he decided to turn the idea into reality. Together with his sister, Raveesha, he built the company from the ground up, transforming what was once a business proposal into a living, growing travel company. That idea became Travellers Isle.
The journey forward was not always smooth. Like many in tourism, we faced moments that tested our resolve — from the Easter Sunday attacks to the global pandemic and the economic crisis that followed. These periods challenged the entire industry, but they also shaped who we are today. They taught us to be adaptable, responsible, and deeply committed to the people who trust us with their holidays. Through it all, our belief in meaningful, personalized travel never changed.
Today, Travellers Isle has grown into a trusted name for bespoke Sri Lanka holidays. We are proudly certified by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority and recognised with multiple Travelers’ Choice Awards from TripAdvisor — awards based on genuine guest reviews and experiences.
But beyond certifications and awards, what truly defines us is how we see travel. We see it as a craft. We listen carefully, plan thoughtfully, and refine every detail. No two travellers are the same, and we believe no two journeys should be either.
