ELLA'S HIDDEN TREASURES TOUR just 40$!
Born and raised in Ella at the 16 Mile Post in Rawanaella, I've spent my entire life surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes that travelers from around the world come to experience. My journey in tourism began in 2019 after completing my studies in Hospitality and Tourism, when I decided to share my hometown's natural and cultural treasures with visitors seeking authentic experiences.As the founder of Yasi Tours Ella, I bring intimate knowledge of the region's hidden gems, local customs, and the best times to visit each location. My aim is to provide more than just sightseeing – I create personalized adventures that connect you with the true essence of Sri Lanka's hill country.Professional Background:
When I'm not guiding visitors through Ella's mountains and tea plantations, I volunteer with local conservation initiatives, help maintain hiking trails, and work with community projects that ensure tourism benefits local families."I believe the best travel experiences come from connecting with both the land and its people. My greatest satisfaction comes from seeing visitors experience those magical moments – whether it's the perfect photograph of a train crossing Nine Arch Bridge, tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine with a local family, or simply watching the sunrise from a perfect vantage point that only locals know about."
- Certified Tour Guide through Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority
- Licensed Tuk Tuk Driver with advanced safety training

THE STORY OF YASI TOURSYasi Tours began with a simple idea: to share the authentic Ella that I love with travelers seeking experiences beyond the ordinary tourist path. Starting with just one carefully maintained tuk tuk and a passion for my homeland, I created tour experiences that combined local knowledge, personalized attention, and responsible tourism practices.What began as tuk tuk tours around Ella's main attractions has evolved into a comprehensive service including hiking adventures, cultural immersions, and transportation solutions throughout Sri Lanka. Despite this growth, I maintain the same core principles:
- Authentic experiences that support local communities
- Environmental responsibility in all operations
- Personalized service tailored to each guest's interests
- Fair pricing and transparent business practices
- Safety and comfort as top priorities
Today, Yasi Tours remains deliberately small-scale to ensure quality. I personally lead most tours, though during busy periods I collaborate with a small team of carefully selected local guides who share my values and dedication to exceptional service.My commitment is to create experiences that benefit everyone – visitors receive authentic, memorable adventures while local communities and environments are respected and supported.
