Travel with people, not just places
Every Ahas Asia guide is SLTDA-licensed and deeply local — story-tellers, wildlife spotters and fixers who make the island come alive.
Saman Jayasuriya
National Guide
Born in Kandy, Saman has guided over 900 private tours across the island. His passion is the Cultural Triangle — he can read every fresco at Sigiriya and every carving at Polonnaruwa like a storybook.
Nilmini Perera
National Guide
A tea-country specialist from Nuwara Eliya, Nilmini grew up among the estates she now shows to the world. Guests rave about her cooking classes, tea tastings and warm, story-filled walks.
Rajith Kumara
National Guide
The wildlife whisperer. Rajith spent six years as a jeep driver in Yala before qualifying as a guide — his leopard-spotting record is the stuff of legend, and his birding lists number over 300 species.
Dinesh Gunawardena
National Guide
A southern-coast specialist, Dinesh guides the Ramayana Trail with deep scholarship and leads surf safaris in Weligama. Multilingual and endlessly patient, he's a favourite with families.
Chaminda Fernando
Chauffeur-Guide
Twenty years behind the wheel, 500,000 accident-free kilometres. Chaminda knows every shortcut from Colombo to Jaffna, and his van is a mobile museum of Sri Lankan road-trip snacks.
Kavinda Silva
Chauffeur-Guide
Young, energetic and fluent in Mandarin, Kavinda is the go-to driver for Chinese-speaking families. His KDH van is spotless, his playlists on point, and his photo spots are Insta-perfect.
