Our guides & drivers
You will spend days in the car with us, so it matters who we are.
Our guests often leave as friends. Some are still in daily contact with their driver years after the trip.
Kumika is Kumar and Indika. They call each other brother. Kumar plans the trips, and the two of them split the guests roughly half and half. Sometimes one of them is with you the whole way, sometimes Kumar looks after you for the first days at the beach and Indika takes you around the island.
Kumar
- Founder and trip planner
- Guide
- Tuk-tuk driver
- Car driver
Based in Aluthgama. Kumar plans every itinerary personally and answers every email himself, and he treats guests as houseguests rather than customers.
He is also the one who makes the plans actually happen: checking that everybody is happy along the way, and that the holiday turns out to be the one you came for.
Indika
- Runs it with Kumar
- Guide
- Tuk-tuk driver
Based in Aluthgama, like Kumar. He takes about half the guests himself: he drives the tuk-tuk, does the talking at the temples and the markets, and sorts out the small things before anyone has to ask.
He fulfils every wish along the way. If he notices you admiring a photo of an elephant showering a tourist in a travel guide, he will arrange for you to have that photo too.
On a bigger group or a longer trip, a second car can be needed. Then one of the guides and drivers Kumar has worked with for years comes along.
Why it matters
With big agencies you often get a different driver every day. Here you get one person for the whole trip, someone who learns what you love by day two and starts surprising you by day three.
