  I have just completed an amazing 20 day personalised tour of Sri Lanka organised by Sesatha travel. When I spoke with Shehan at Sesatha I only had a rough idea of where I wanted to go and do. Then he and Sarah compiled an itinerary that matched my desire for adventure and some relaxation time perfectly. The communication from both Shehan and Sarah, who was liaising with the hotel and tour providers, was first class from start to finish.
They suggested I have a driver, which is common practice and a sensible way to see Sri Lanka if you intend to travel to numerous destinations, and teamed me up with Gayan who was fantastic. He was an excellent guide and educator on the history, culture, food, regional nuances, religions and where and when to go to the amazing sites Sri Lanka has to offer. His jovial personality and sense of humour was infectious everywhere we went. Having someone who knows the country, speaks the language, and is willing to go the extra yard was invaluable.
There are many Sri lankan sites and ‘tours’ that operate on a ‘turn up’ basis. So, if you are prepared to be a bit flexible and pay a bit as you travel along – tips, adhoc site visits etc, you can have an amazing cultural experience and a relaxing vacation. Thanks Shehan, Sarah and Gayan at Sesatha. Excellent service and a truly memorable journey.

  Perfect beach break between Europe and Australia
Shehan and his Sri Lankan team looked after us beautifully. From a seamless airport meet and greet, excellent and safe drivers and delightful accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble and our Sri Lankan contact, Nilu even stored our excess luggage (all our European winter gear) at his home in Negombo so we didn’t need to take it with us. Due to monsoon activity in the south, we opted for a 4 day beach break in Trincomalee. The drive across the island was an amazing cultural experience as We passed through traditional towns and villages, even having to slow down to allot wild elephants to cross the road. Shehan suggested we spend our first night in Negombo and he chose a lovely small hotel, fully equipped with AC and a beautiful pool. The resort in Uppevelli was also delightful, right on the beach so we could walk across the lawn and be in the ocean 2 mins walk from our villa. Shehan also sorted a minor confusion we had with drivers (entirely my fault) and ensured we were always safe and happy. I really recommend Sesatha Travel (Brisbane based agency specializing in Sri Lanka) if you want to experience Sri Lanka in style and with a minimum of fuss. Thank you Shehan and Niki for an unforgettable week in your beautiful country.

  I was in a real bind after booking flights to Sri Lanka without an actual plan. It was getting overwhelming until I reached out to a few agencies online. Shehan from Sesatha Travel was the only one who actually called me back—within 15 minutes of my inquiry!

From that first call, I felt I was getting a truly custom, one-on-one experience. Shehan handled everything:

Custom Planning: He worked with my budget and specific needs (like visiting relatives) to build an itinerary from scratch. We went back and forth on every hotel and attraction until it was perfect.

The Perfect Balance: He managed to blend luxury, romance, and adventure seamlessly into every single day.

Expert Guide: He organized a brilliant driver/guide, Nilu, who was incredibly professional and had everything organized down to a tee for the full 9 days.

Proactive Support: Shehan checked in several times while we were abroad to ensure everything was smooth. When small hiccups occurred, he rectified them immediately.

Being a native Sri Lankan, Shehan’s local expertise allowed us to skip the "tourist traps" and truly indulge in the local culture. If you’re going to Sri Lanka, start by calling Shehan. He makes the process incredibly easy and delivers a world-class, personalized experience. Highly recommended!

  From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed. A Custom Masterclass by Shehan at Sesatha Travel
I found myself in a bit of a bind: I had already booked our flights to Sri Lanka but hadn't even begun to organize an itinerary. As the trip got closer, the logistics were getting overwhelming. I reached out to a number of agencies online, but Shehan from Sesatha Travel was the only one who personally called me within 15 minutes of my inquiry. From that first phone call, I knew I was getting a high-touch, one-on-one expert experience. Shehan handled everything. I gave him our budget, timeframes, and key requirements, including the specific need to visit relatives, and he built the entire itinerary in a true partnership with me. We went back and forth on hotels, attractions, and hidden gems until we found the perfect balance for my partner and me: a blend of luxury, romance, and adventure. I’m happy to say that practically every day of the trip delivered on all three of those aspects. Highlights of the Service: The Guide: Shehan organized a brilliant driver and guide named Nilu. He was with us for the entire 9 days and was absolute perfection organized down to a tee. The "Native" Advantage: Because Shehan is a Sri Lankan native, his organization allowed us to move past the "tourist" layer and truly absorb the local culture and traditions. Proactive Care: Shehan checked in on us several times during the trip to make sure we were happy. When we had a couple of minor hiccups (as you do with travel), he addressed and rectified them immediately so they didn't resurface. If you are looking for a fully customized, personal experience that feels like it was built specifically for you rather than a "cookie-cutter" tour, call Shehan first. He makes the process incredibly easy and delivers an experience that is authentic, romantic, and stress free. I would not hesitate to recommend Sesatha Travel to anyone heading to Sri Lanka.

  Seamless & Memorable Sri Lanka trip
We recently returned from two weeks in Sri Lanka which was organised by Sesatha Travel and we were very happy with the experience from start to finish. The whole trip was exceptionally well organised which made it stress free for our group of four. Our itinerary was well planned and allowed us to experience a wide range of incredible places. We still had time to relax and enjoy each destination. Our accommodation throughout the whole trip was excellent and chosen in great locations. Our guide and driver, Duminda, was a fantastic local guide, knowledgeable and always smiling. We felt completely safe on the roads thanks to his careful and skilful driving and the vehicle was very comfortable with plenty of room for the four of us and our luggage. Overall our holiday was enjoyable, seamless and memorable. We would highly recommend Sesatha Travel to anyone thinking of travelling to Sri Lanka.

I think Sesatha Travel is special.  The Team curated a highly individualised holiday that expertly connected us with our interests, but more importantly, connected us with local people who proudly and generously shared their Sri Lanka with us.
Our initial interests were birdlife, wildlife and nature.  Our holiday delivered on our interests, and then surprised us with new discoveries into Sri Lanka, it’s people and culture, and traditional food.
Shehan provided a personal touch in running an excellent travel agency specialising in Sri Lanka.  He was knowledgeable, highly efficient, effective, and easy to work with.  He was always responsive with communication. He anticipated my questions and provided thoughtful practical advice.
Our guide Nilu was top-notch, and a brilliant ambassador for Sri Lanka.

  Wonderful experience of Sri Lanka, well managed by Sesatha Travel
We booked late, as we had other family commitments to sort out. However, Shehan was very helpful with inside knowledge of accommodation, tours and activities which suited us very well. Shehan was also very communicative and at hand to troubleshoot any potential problems. We were very happy with the whole trip and had a wonderful time.

  THE BEST holiday in Sri Lanka organised by Sesatha Travel Pty Ltd
I was looking online for an Ayurvedic Retreat Centre, originally in Kerala and then decided Sri Lanka would suit me better. I have been there a coupe of times over 40 years, loved the country and decided to return.I was browsing some websites when I got a phone call from a travel agent in Brisbane, this was great to have someone in Australia who was familiar with all things Sri Lankan having been born there. From the first phone call the whole journey was a very pleasant experience and nothing was too much trouble for Shehan the owner and director of the company Sesatha Travel. He organised every little detail, from getting picked up at the airport and taken to my accommodation, then to my destination for two weeks. He liaised with the Kandy Samadhi Centre to meet all my needs and then even booked me a train ticket when it was time to leave. His contacts in Sri Lanka were professional, kind and very helpful. I felt safe at all times.I highly recommend Sesatha Travel if you are contemplating a trip to Sri Lanka.

  Business School reunion with families
The planning advice was excellent. So was the outcome. And when things didn’t quite go to plan sometimes - as in inevitable at some point of on a 25 person week long trip in Sri Lanka - adjustments went well.

  Unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka
An unforgettable 2-week stay in Sri Lanka! The warm hospitality, diverse landscapes—from waterfalls and beautiful beaches to tropical forests and wildlife—and the rich culture with its temples and archaeological sites made this trip truly special. The local cuisine was absolutely delicious.A big thank you to Ujith, our friendly driver-guide from Sesatha Travels, who introduced me to exclusive places and perfectly adapted to my wishes. Thanks also to Shehan for his professional, tailor-made program and excellent follow-up. The boutique hotels were perfect, especially Buckingham Place, a peaceful haven on a stunning beach near Tangalle.

  A Journey Through Paradise with Sesatha Travels
As a newly married Sri Lankan couple living in Melbourne, we wanted our honeymoon to be a mix of romance, relaxation, and rediscovering our homeland. Sesatha Travels made this dream come true with their impeccable service. From the moment we landed in Colombo, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a thoughtfully crafted itinerary.The hotels were outstanding, each with its unique charm—from the luxurious beachfront resort in Bentota to the tranquil tea estate bungalow in Nuwara Eliya. Shehan’s extensive knowledge of Sri Lanka, combined with his professional and friendly approach, made every experience even more enriching and memorable.Our driver was also fantastic—polite, reliable, and always ensuring we were comfortable and safe during our journey. The highlight of our trip was the Yala safari, where we were thrilled to spot a leopard!Sesatha Travels took care of every little detail, allowing us to simply enjoy our honeymoon stress-free. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable holiday in Sri Lanka.

  Perfect Mix of Adventure and Relaxation
I booked a family tour with Sesatha Travels and couldn’t be happier with the service. Coming from Melbourne, we are Sri Lankans who wanted a mix of adventure and relaxation, and Sesatha delivered on all fronts.Our safari in Wilpattu was unforgettable, and my wife loved the visit to the turtle hatchery in Kosgoda. The itinerary also included plenty of leisure time at stunning hotels, like the one in Galle, where we enjoyed panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.Shehan from Sesatha Travels was incredibly responsive and friendly, making the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. What stood out most was the personal touch—our guide was equally friendly and flexible, often adjusting plans to suit our interests. I wholeheartedly recommend Sesatha Travels for a perfect Sri Lankan getaway.

  Excellent, unique and tailored trip to Sri Lanka
Absolutely can highly recommend Sesatha Travel. Shehan has of course an in depth knowledge of his country making it a very special trip with inside knowledge. Whilst we had an itinerary in our minds, Shehan was able to fine tune it, recommend some other sights as well as recommending some other hotels that were not on our radar, and what fabulous hotels they turned out to be. Shehan booked all the hotels and our flights and arranged everything with our amazing tour guide for the trip, Nilu. Everything was within our budget adding to the enjoyment of beautiful Sri Lanka.

  Wandering Sri Lanka
An enjoyable experienceAn excellent guide/driver keen to enlighten or detour to our whimWe’ve seen such a variety across our travels including:-impressive archeology-Sculptors chipping historic/mythic scenes onto granite panels-Artisans casting brass figures for temples etc -Animals in their natural habitat - massive aquatic monitors (Varanus ) in the mangroves, families of elephant, mongoose, leopards, jungle fowl, peacocks …-Organic farms dealing with long dry seasons, elephant incursions and monkeys-An abundance of tropical fruits and local veg. production - mostly non-organicWe loved: -very friendly people-Great Ayurverdic massages-And gemstones, Sri Lanka’s most famous product together with tea-The trees often majestic including immigrant Eucalyptus (Australian) and Swietenia ( S. American mahogany ) together with native Mara, Jackfruit and Neem. Silky Oak (Aus) scattered throughout the tea plantations would provide bursts of orange in spring-A truly verdant landscapeWe left with some understanding of the economic and social problems facing the populous with growth in their reliance on tourism being a major goal of the gov. We hope they minimise ‘tar & cement’ to achieve their goals.

  Excellent, personal service
We were very glad to have booked our first trip to Sri Lanka through Sesatha Travel. Shehan was always responsive, making communication easy. We always knew what was happening with our travel plans and when we had issues with our flights (unrelated to Sesatha Travel) Shehan was very accommodating and flexible, working around our changed flight schedule. Our driver, Nilu, who took us around Sri Lanka was amazing and made the trip that much more special with his local knowledge and understanding of the local culture.If you want to support a small business with excellent, personal service and have a desire to explore beautiful Sri Lanka, I highly recommend Sesatha Travel.

  Unique and tailored experience to Sri Lanka
We had a fabulous trip to Sri Lanka with the expert guidance and support from Sesatha Travel and Shehan. Most importantly, Shehan understood the logistics of travelling with tween/teens and was also able to meet our brief for boutique accomodation away from the main tourist grind. It was really evident who understood our brief (particularly in terms of what kids can manage on an active holiday with quite a bit of drive time) when we searched for the right agent. I’d highly recommend Sesatha for families, couples and sole travellers looking to travel to Sri Lanka. It’s a beautiful place to visit!

  Sri Lankan holiday
We had a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka, had a great guide in Nadun who took care of us and showed us many interesting places and sites. We had great accommodation especially the smaller hotels we stayed in. A big thank you Shehan at Sesatha Travel who assisted with the itinerary and made helpful suggestions that improved our experience and arranged all the bookings. Our holiday exceed our expectations and I would have no hesitation in using Shehan again or recommending him to others thinking of going to Sri Lanka.

  WE have just returned home after a fantastic two-week group trip to Sri Lanka organised for Take A Walk Adventures by Shehan at Sesatha Travel. The trip had it all - great hikes, stunning scenery, excellent accommodation from hotels to up-market glamping destinations, even an early morning wildlife safari. The organisation was excellent and Shehan contacted me on several occasions just to make sure everything was going well with our group.  Top marks Shehan.  We are very happy to rate you with five stars! John Daly, Take A Walk Adventures.

  Sri Lanka Experience
Linda and I have only just returned from our tour through Sri Lanka booked with Shehan We couldn't have asked for more. We started our investigation about visiting Sri Lanka 12 months ago and became very disappointed in travel options until we stumbled upon Sesatha Travel. Working with Shehan we were able to develop a tour of places we wanted to visit at a pace we were comfortable with. More importantly a budget that was worked through to ensure we had a very comfortable stay at some amazing hotels.We had our own private driver/tour guide and car.Roshantha ( Rosh ) was exceptional over the 23 days we spent with him. We could not speak more highly of his attention to detail, his knowledge on all subjects,his driving etc. In fact we could write a whole expo on our interactions etc. From the time he picked us up at the airport he facilitated our travels in a very professional manner from providing water everyday, ensuring we didn’t have to queue for attractions, helping organise a sim card and the list goes on.We did every optional tour plus more that Rosh showed us. Our itinerary was well spaced. Never having been there, we were amazed at the culture and history. The food on offer covering all cuisines was amazing. We started our journey in Negombo, then travelled to Wilpattu National Park where we were fortunate to see leopard close up ,elephant etc. On to Anuradhapura and learning all about Buddhist history, customs and much more. Our tour took us to the coast for a few days then onto another Safari camp and more elephants and birds.The camp was sensationalWe stayed on a tea plantation in a Scottish Bungalow and immersed ourselves in Colonial living at its finest.Kandy was superb and the Amaya hotel high on the hill a delight.Visiting Knuckles National Park a UNESO listed heritage destination, was well worth the effort and the landscape stunning.On to another highlight Sigiriya and the climb up Lion Rock.This is not to be missed and we were astounded learning about the history and architecture.The boutique Chill Ville hotel we stayed at was just out of this world with its stunning views and the open air dining room was a place to dine with views to take your breath away.Attending a cooking class in Ella a great deal of fun and we learnt how to cook a proper curry. ( take your own bottle of wine )We could go on because so many highlights it would take pages of comment to give justice to our journey.Our stay culminated with a couple of days at Galle and another boutique hotel which was in an old dutch house.If you are considering travelling to Sri Lanka then engage with Shehan, you will not be disappointed. His follow up while you are travelling makes you feel comfortable should there be issues and someone there to help.We are so grateful for having experienced this beautiful country. Would obviously highly recommend Sesatha Travel for touring Sri Lanka. We are very happy for Shehan to provide our details to anyone who wanted to talk about our experience in dealing with him and his team of supporters.Ian and Linda
