Our Story

Beat Route Tours was born out of a deep love for Sri Lanka and a belief that travel should feel personal, honest, and full of connection. We’re Nilanka and Fiona — a Sri Lankan / British couple who met through our shared passion for the island. Fiona first came to Sri Lanka in 2003 as a volunteer teacher. Nilanka had already been building a career in tourism for years. Together, we explored the island’s hidden corners and quieter paths, discovering its true heart beyond the usual attractions.

Over time, travellers began asking for our advice. They trusted us to help them experience Sri Lanka in an authentic way. From that trust, Beat Route Tours was born — built on integrity, care, and local knowledge.

Overview

We explore beyond the highlights, uncovering the hidden corners and true spirit of Sri Lanka.
