Welcome to Sri Lanka!
Khiri Travel Sri Lanka we believe that traveling is different from touring and it’s not just about ticking the boxes of places you want to visit. Our in-depth knowledge and expertise will guide you to dig deeper and unveil the hidden gems this amazing island has to offer. We strongly believe in people over places and memories over selfies. From meeting a famous photographer in Colombo to exploring the Cultural Triangle with an archaeologist; from a meal at a classy restaurant in Colombo with an interesting personality to a traditional meal with a local family in Kandy; from exploring the back roads of busy Colombo on a tuk-tuk to peddling around the less-traveled streets of Jaffna in the far North, we take pride in creating experiences and moments for travelers to cherish with diverse interests.
Our Sri Lankan team consists of a happy bunch of travel addicts who would always try to find an excuse to venture out of the city for the weekend, meaning that we have the inspiration and the edge when it comes to providing first-hand knowledge and the best recommendations to our clients. Based on the three pillars – product, service and delivery – we will not settle for less than excellent. The strong relationship we have with our business partners and the positive feedback and messages of appreciation that we receive from our guests, is what gives us that spark to go the extra mile and provide our guests with unforgettable experiences that they can take home and cherish! After all, we are our country’s ambassadors and it’s therefore our duty to deliver with an unfaltering smile and unwavering determination!
With every travel experience, Khiri Travel Sri Lanka aims to connect its guests with Sri Lankans and create a positive impact on local communities and the environment. Jaffna in Northern Province is one of our success stories, where, following years of civil war, we were one of the very first DMCs to actively promote and open up the city to tourists. We work closely with locals and create income opportunities – for example, meals with families in their homes – which help them to raise their standard of living and contribute to the education of their children.
Another interesting story is that of Mala who struggled in the running of her small homestay in Batticaloa, a less visited region of Sri Lanka on the east coast. We helped to support her small business by recommending it to our clients, and as a result her family’s circumstances have much improved. What’s more, the success of her homestay has inspired her daughter to also join the hospitality industry.
We also support innovative and sustainable projects, such as those that provide jobs to local women – recycling materials to make bags and other local handicrafts. These products make excellent souvenirs or gifts for travelers, who love to hear the stories behind these projects and feel good to be supporting them. These are just a few examples of our commitment to providing clients with responsible tourism experiences that leave a positive, long-lasting impression – not just on our clients – but also on the people of Sri Lanka.
