We create thoughtfully planned trips that bring together the places worth seeing, the people worth meeting and the experiences that make Sri Lanka memorable.
The Travel Cafe was created around a simple belief: a memorable trip to Sri Lanka is about more than joining together its best-known sights.
It is about how you travel between them. The places you stay. The people you meet. The stories you hear. And having enough time to actually enjoy where you are.
That thinking shapes every trip we create — bringing together Sri Lanka’s essential places with experiences that reveal a little more of the country along the way.
Tour Curator, The Travel Cafe
Arjuna personally helps shape the journeys we create, drawing on his regular travels across Sri Lanka and the relationships he has built with the people who bring each experience to life.
His involvement continues while guests are travelling. Working closely with his team, he helps keep arrangements running smoothly, answers questions and takes care of unexpected details so guests feel well looked after throughout their journey.
A memorable trip is not simply a collection of places. The route, the pace, where you stay, who guides you and what you experience along the way all shape how Sri Lanka feels. We consider those details together so each journey has time to unfold naturally.
We bring together the places worth seeing and the experiences that reveal more of Sri Lanka, with careful attention to the pace and practical details.
Travel with one of our planned journeys as it is, personalise the details or ask us to create something new around you.
Travel connects us with places that people call home. We want that connection to be a positive one — for our travellers, for the people they meet and for the places they visit.
We favour experiences that bring travellers into genuine contact with local people, skills, food and everyday life.
We choose wildlife experiences with respect for animals, their habitats and the landscapes they depend on.
We encourage curiosity and respect for Sri Lanka’s culture, heritage, traditions and environment.
Thoughtful travel leaves room to appreciate a place rather than simply pass through it.
“Sri Lanka is more than the places you visit. It is everything you experience along the way.”— Arjuna Jayatunge, Tour Curator
