Our Story

Lakmal Alahakoon and Samantha Ekanayaka are graduates of the University of Kelaniya. Shortly after completing their studies, they began their careers with leading tour agencies, where they gained hands-on experience in the travel and hospitality industry. Over time, they specialized in tour design, refining their skills and deepening their understanding of travelers' needs. In 2016, they took a significant step forward by becoming National Tour Guide Lecturers, a role that offered them firsthand insight into the realities and potential of Sri Lanka's tourism sector. Motivated by their experiences and a shared passion for sustainable travel, they co-founded Lanka Eco Trails — a venture dedicated to promoting responsible tourism and authentic Sri Lankan experiences. Today, through Lanka Eco Trails, they continue to make a meaningful impact on the country's evolving tourism landscape.
