Unlock Authentic Sri Lankan Journeys
Ceylon Bound (Pvt) Ltd was founded by Nilantha Arachchige, a passionate traveler whose own journey sparked the vision for this company. Having moved to Australia in his mid-twenties in search of a fresh start, Nilantha immersed himself in exploring the vast landscapes of his new home. Australia’s immense size revealed to him a world of remarkable biodiversity, but it also required long stretches of time and distance to fully embrace its wonders.
In contrast, he realized that his homeland, Sri Lanka, holds within its compact borders a treasure trove of equally breathtaking diversity. From pristine, untouched beaches to sacred mountains and lush forests, every experience is just a few hours away. This revelation gave birth to Ceylon Bound – a name that symbolizes the call of Sri Lanka to all who yearn for discovery, culture, and unforgettable journeys.
Vision
To emerge as the most preferred tour operator in Sri Lanka, leading the way in sustainable and meaningful tourism by 2030, creating travel experiences that connect people to the island’s timeless essence while protecting its natural and cultural heritage.
Mission
At Ceylon Bound we believe tourism in Sri Lanka is more than a moment in the present, it is a journey through time that reveals the heart of the island. Our mission is to guide travellers in rediscovering Sri Lanka’s essence through its ancient ecosystems, forgotten technologies, enduring cultures, traditions and arts and crafts.
Driven by our commitment to sustainability we have launched a Herbal Plant Restoration and Recovery Project in Padukka, covering 1.5 acres of land with an estimated investment of SLR 36 million dedicated to acquisition, development and plantation.
To deepen our impact in preserving Sri Lanka’s heritage we continue to collaborate with partner organisations that share our vision for restoration, preservation and responsible exploration.
