In August 2026 my mother and I travelled to Sri Lanka and organised a two week tour with Bhathi. We loved every minute of our trip, from the moment we met him at the hotel up until we left. We left Sri Lanka with full hearts and so many precious memories.
Bhathi is an incredibly warm, welcoming and genuinely kind person. One of the nicest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. As a local with an incredible knowledge of his country, he gave us so much more than just a tour. Stories were shared on every car journey we took. History and fascinating insights were learnt about Sri Lanka, giving us a much better insight on the country.
One of the highlights of the trip was when we were taken to a local little shack where we had the most delicious vegetarian curry cooked for us from scratch by two beautiul women. We were shown their traditional cooking techniques which were fascinating to watch. The curry was honestly the most incredible curry I’ve ever eaten! The flavours are almost impossible to describe, I still think about it to this day. It is an experience I will never forget.
Throughout our trip Bhathi took us on so many excursions that we will never forget, from the safari, white water rafting and cinnamon harvesting trip to the many temples we visited and sunrise walks. Every experience felt like it was thoughtfully chosen for us to give us a glimpse into the real authentic Sri Lanka, beyond the usual tourist attractions.
When we first arrived in Sri Lanka I was quite unwell after becoming sick in India. Bhathi immediately took me to a local doctor for medication, and continued I’d to look after me throughout the trip. He ensured I had all the medication I needed and checked regularly if I needed to see another doctor. His kindness are care was so genuine it touched both my mother and I.
Bhathi also gave us a gift from his wonderful wife: homemade curry powder. This was such a touching gift to receive and the curry powder was unlike any I’d tasted before. I still have it in my kitchen cupboard to this day and save it for special occasions!
If you wish to travel Sri Lanka and experience the ‘real’ Sri Lanka, its heart and soul, I cannot recommend Bhathi enough. Bhathi have us an authentic, memorable and truly invaluable experience. Having such a wonderfully humble and kind tour guide for our trip made it unforgettable.
You will not regret booking a tour with Bhathi if you wish to visit Sri Lanka!

A wonderful experience
Mi daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Bhathi. He is a thoughtful human being, kind, generous, very knowledgeable.
When my daughter got sick, he got a doctor on the phone, bought the medication for her and did everything possible to make her feel more comfortable.
We spent an amazing 12 days in his company, and I fully recommend him.

An unforgettable Sri Lanka Experience with Bhathiya
這次的斯里蘭卡之旅真的非常精彩,到現在回想起來還是覺得很感動。特別要感謝 BHATHIYA,因為有他用心地帶領,我才能體驗到這麼一趟真正地道、深入當地的旅行。
從登上壯觀的獅子岩,到享用道地的當地人家午餐,再到親眼看見悠遊在野外的大象——每一個「第一次」都讓我印象尤其深刻,也一次次被斯里蘭卡的自然與文化所打動。
我真的很想強烈推薦大家,如果你也計畫到斯里蘭卡旅遊,不妨讓 Bhathiya 來為你安排並親自帶路。由他規劃的行程,與自己隨便走走看看的感覺相差非常遠,那種深入在地、充滿溫度的體驗,真的完全不一樣。
This trip to Sri Lanka was truly wonderful, and I'm still moved whenever I think back on it. A special thank you to Bhathyia - with his thoughtful guidance, I was able to experience such an authentic and deeply local journey.
From visiting the magnificent Sigiriya Rock, to enjoying a homemade local lunch, to seeing wild elephants roaming freely in nature—each of these "firsts" left a particularly deep impression on me. Time and again, I was captivated by Sri Lanka's nature and culture.
I really strongly recommend that if you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, let BHATHIYA arrange and lead your journey. The experience he offers is vastly different from exploring on your own—it's the kind of immersive, warm, and truly local experience that you just can't get otherwise.

Truly wonderful holiday
Bhatiya Tours gave me a phenomenal experience. Bhati’s kindness, knowledge and safety on the road put me at ease to thoroughly relax and enjoy my holiday. He has a great sense of humour and I enjoyed learning Sri Lankan words each day. Nothing was too much trouble for Bhati; he went out of his way to please. He showed us parts of Sri Lanka and experiences that we might not have considered.
Bhati is a kind, considerate and thoughtful man with great discretion.

Fabulous Tour Guide
We have had a. amazing trip exploring Sri Lanka with Bharthi.
He was recommended to us by friends who visited Sri Lanka in 2018.
Based on their recommendation we asked Bharthi to arrange a trip for us. It was fantastic.
Bharthi booked fabulous hotels for us, took us to incredible places where he acted as our guide. He is an accredited Sri Lankan Tourism Guide and is extremely knowledgeable.
Bharthi is also really good fun and kind and was happy to alter the itinerary to tailor it specifically for us.
I would recommend him as you will have a wonderful trip and learn so much about the history and culture of Sri Lanka. He will even try to teach you Sinhalese!

Bharti is an amazing guide.
We had an amazing tour with Bharti. It was the first time we had used a guide and wondered how it would be.
Bharti is a great guy and we soon became good friends. He has a great sense of humour and arranged everything so that we didn't have to wait in line for tickets and saw a lot in the 8 day tour. He then arranged other trips for us when we asked him to for the remainder of or stay in Sri Lanka.
The hotels that Bharti booked for us were excellent and with very helpful staff.
Bharti is very knowledgeable and told us so much about the sites we visited, Sri Lankan culture, and Buddhist culture.
I would recommend using Bharti if you want to see the best of Sri Lanka.
