We don't sell tickets to a country. We arrange the kind of days you describe years later the morning mist over the tea, the temple before the crowds, the road that only your driver knew.

Majesty Tours began with one driver, one van, and an unreasonable belief that Sri Lanka is best seen slowly. Founded in 2009 by Nadeera Sanjaya Kuruppu, we remain a small, owner-run operation which is precisely why no two of our journeys are alike.

Every itinerary is private and built around you: the pace you like, the food you're curious about, the places the guidebooks ran out of room for. Your driver-guide stays with you the whole way, island-wide.

Nadeera Sanjaya Kuruppu, founder

Five ways to see the island

Sample routes below each fully customisable, and each one opens to a day-by-day plan. Pricing is per person, private, with your own vehicle and guide.

Day 1

Colombo → Dambulla

Drive into the dry zone. Afternoon at the Dambulla cave temples five caves of painted Buddhas under a single rock overhang.

Day 2

Sigiriya rock fortress

Climb the Lion Rock at first light, ahead of the heat and the crowds. Frescoes, water gardens, and the view from a 5th-century sky palace.

Day 3

Polonnaruwa by bicycle

The medieval capital, ringed by ruins and reservoirs. Cycle between the stupas and the serene rock-cut Buddhas of Gal Vihara.

Day 4

Kandy & the Tooth Temple

Into the hills to the last royal capital the Temple of the Tooth, the lake, and an evening of Kandyan drumming.

One of the world's great rail journeys open doors, tea-green valleys, and the slow blue carriages winding to Ella.

Day 3

Nine Arches & Little Adam's Peak

A dawn walk to the colonial-era viaduct, then an easy summit for the valley laid out below.

"The most natural good things fruit, sun, a warm sea, the kindness of strangers arranged within a single afternoon's drive."

One island, endless lines

Tap a journey to follow its path across Sri Lanka or tap any city to see what waits there. From the cultural triangle in the dry-zone north to the surf of the deep south.

When to go

Sri Lanka has two monsoons running opposite each other so somewhere on the island is always in season. Pick a month to see where.

There is no bad time to come only a best place to be.

"We have travelled a great deal, and rarely have we felt so completely looked after. Nadeera planned every day to our taste and then let the island surprise us."
Helena & Marcus R., Munich · via TripAdvisor
"Three generations, one van, fourteen days and not a single dull hour. The leopard at Yala was the children's whole year."
The Okafor family, London · via Google
"The blue train, the tea, a temple we'd never have found alone. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend."
