Mahesh Thilakasiri, founder of LuxSri Ceylon Travels, with guests on a private tour in Sri Lanka
A personal journey

Hello, I'm Mahesh Thilakasiri

I founded LuxSri Ceylon Travels to share the Sri Lanka I love with travellers who want more than a bus tour. I drive and guide every trip myself, so you always have someone local beside you who knows the roads, the history and the best place for lunch.

From the ancient cities and hill-country temples to wildlife safaris, train journeys and the beaches of the south, I plan each itinerary around you, in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, from airport pickup to departure.

My goal is simple: help you enjoy an authentic Sri Lankan experience and take home memories that last.

Journey Beyond Expectations.
