About Lakmal
The personbehind everyjourney.
Lakmal Chaminda drives you across Sri Lanka. But mostly, he takes care of things.
His story
Lakmal started out driving travellers, and quickly learned that a good trip isn't about the car. It's about everything around it.
A family needs a child seat that actually fits. A couple wants a villa nobody else knows about. Someone gets sick on a Sunday and needs the right pharmacy, fast. A guest's birthday deserves a cake on the table. Lakmal started handling all of it, quietly, and travellers started calling him for far more than a ride.
Today he plans whole journeys across the island for families and couples from Europe, the United States and Asia. Most of his guests find him through someone he has already looked after.
How Lakmalworks.
You deal with one person
No call centre, no hand-offs. The man who plans your trip is the man who picks you up, and the one who answers when you call at midnight.
He knows the island, not just the roads
Which viewpoint is empty at six in the morning, which homestay makes the best rice and curry, when the elephants come down to the water.
Honest prices, agreed upfront
You know what each day costs before you land. No commission shops, no surprise extras on the last night.
Family comes first
Child seats, slower days, a doctor when you need one. Lakmal and his wife treat guests as part of the family, especially the little ones.
The people around him
A trustedcircle.
Lakmal works with drivers, villa owners, cooks, boat captains and safari rangers he has known for years. When your group needs two cars or a private chef, it's someone he trusts, never a stranger from an app.
