Our Story
We are Ceylon’s storytellers
A small team from the island, sharing the places, people and quiet moments we love.
Who We Are
Local roots, uncompromising standards
Ceyloney Premium was founded by Himantha Kaushalya, who spent more than five years designing itineraries for travel agencies before building a brand of his own — because he believed Sri Lanka deserved to be experienced slowly, privately and with real insight. We do not run groups or fixed departures — every journey begins with a conversation.
We personally inspect every property we recommend, work with licensed guides who are true experts in their regions, and partner with villages, conservation projects and small family businesses so that your travel leaves something good behind.

Himantha Kaushalya
Founder & Owner of Ceyloney Premium
Every successful journey begins with a well-crafted plan. As a dedicated travel plan creator, Himantha brings over five years of experience in travel itinerary development, tourism research and creating inspiring travel experiences for the Sri Lankan tourism industry. With a degree in Information and Communication Technology from the University of Jaffna, he combines technical knowledge with creativity, research and a forward-thinking approach to modern travel planning.
Plan Your Journey with Us“Ceyloney Premium is not just about visiting places. It's about discovering Sri Lanka your way, with people who genuinely care about your journey.”
From Travel Plan Creator to Travel Brand Founder
Himantha began his journey behind the scenes, developing customized tour itineraries for travel agencies. His work involved researching destinations, identifying popular attractions, exploring emerging travel trends and designing unique experiences that meet the interests and expectations of international travelers.
Over the years, he has developed a strong understanding of how to create well-organized journeys that combine iconic destinations, hidden gems, authentic cultural experiences, wildlife adventures and memorable local encounters. Today, he is taking the next big step by transforming that experience and passion into his own travel brand, Ceyloney Premium.
Building Ceyloney Premium While Supporting the Tourism Industry
For Himantha, establishing his own travel brand does not mean leaving behind the industry and professional relationships that helped shape his journey. He continues to value collaboration with travel agencies, tour operators, activity providers, accommodation partners and other tourism professionals — believing that the success of Sri Lankan tourism depends on cooperation, trust and creating opportunities for everyone involved.
His approach is built on ethical business practices, honest communication, fair collaboration and mutual respect. Long-term success comes not only from serving travelers well, but from treating partners fairly and supporting the people and communities who make every journey possible.
A Vision for Personalized Sri Lankan Travel
Himantha's vision is to make discovering Sri Lanka easier, more personal and more meaningful — through tailor-made multi-day tours, private transportation, wildlife safaris, cultural adventures, scenic journeys and lesser-known destinations. By working with trusted local partners, he connects international travelers with authentic Sri Lankan hospitality while helping local businesses and communities benefit from tourism.
For him, success is not measured by the growth of one business alone. It is about building lasting relationships, supporting fellow tourism professionals, creating opportunities for local communities and contributing positively to Sri Lanka's tourism future.
