ABs Message

Dear Trade Colleague,

Warm greetings from Sri Lanka.

As we move into a new season, we are pleased to share the latest edition of our newsletter, bringing together stories, updates, and experiences that reflect the spirit of experiential travel, meaningful connections, and responsible tourism in Sri Lanka.

This edition features Manarala Villa, a peaceful mountain retreat in Pahala Neboda, offering privacy, nature, and understated comfort. We also showcase authentic local experiences, including the Ceylon 1850 Village Culinary, Agriculture & Gem Mine Experience, and introduce Roy Kennedy (“Guitar Roy”), whose unique blend of music, storytelling, and guiding creates truly memorable journeys.

Sustainability remains central to our vision. Under Our Efforts in Sustainability, we share an update on Pedal Sri Lanka – February 2027, our third charity cycling mission supporting children’s hospitals and community projects, once again in partnership with AUSLMAT.

Finally, our Post-“Ditwah” Travel Update provides an overview of current transport conditions and tourism operations as Sri Lanka continues its steady recovery.

We hope you enjoy this brief update and thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership.

Warm regards,

Anuruddha Bandara (AB)
