About Us
About Mandara Tours
Mandara Tours is the result of a journey that began over a decade ago when our founder, Chamila Madushanka, entered the tourism and hospitality industry with a humble beginning and a big dream. Inspired by his father’s passion for travel, Chamila followed in his footsteps, learning every detail of the industry from the ground up. Starting as a trainee tourist driver, he quickly discovered that success required knowledge, dedication, and a genuine love for people.
Over the years, Chamila mastered the art of communication, becoming fluent in English, Hindi, and Arabic — a skill that allowed him to connect with travelers from all corners of the world. His ability to form lasting friendships and his commitment to delivering exceptional experiences laid the foundation for Mandara Tours, now recognized as a trusted name in Sri Lankan travel.
What began as one man’s vision has grown into a passionate team of young, energetic professionals. Together, we provide incomparable and personalized services, creating innovative tour plans that allow our guests to discover Sri Lanka’s beauty, culture, and warmth in unforgettable ways.
From the first day of your holiday to the moment you say goodbye, we strive to make every moment special. Our guests often leave with smiles, captured memories, and hearts full of joy — and many return to explore more with us.
At Mandara Tours, your comfort, happiness, and unforgettable experiences are our top priorities. We look forward to welcoming you to Sri Lanka and giving you a holiday filled with memories you’ll cherish forever.

Kailo W2025-06-20Verified 6 out of 5 stars Chami wasn’t just a tour guide, he was like family.We covered an extensive area of Sri Lanka over our two week stay and even though we saw many great places I can easily say that Chami was the best part of our trip.Without him, our holiday would not have been half as good as it was. He had great knowledge of local areas, a fantastic network of contacts across the country and above all was the most genuine person we met during our whole stay.Would highly recommend Mandara Tours and I would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could! james l2025-06-18Verified Chammi he started off as tour guide now he has become like family to me can't wait to come back 👍 Our trip to Sri Lanka was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Chammi. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed, like we were part of his family.Chammi didn’t just show us the sights—he shared his heart. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was when he invited us into his home and cooked us an incredible homemade dinner. That kind of warmth and generosity is rare, and it turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.Chammi’s knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made every moment special. I honestly want to return to Sri Lanka just to travel with him again. If you're lucky enough to have Chammi as your guide, you're in for a truly exceptional experience. Julia31922025-06-17Verified Private Driver 14 Day Tour of Sri Lanka We hired a private driver in Sri Lanka for a group of six and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Our driver was absolutely fantastic—friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the country. He had a great network of local contacts, which came in handy more than once, helping us with everything from restaurant recommendations, hidden attractions and best Jeep driver for the Safari.He was a fantastic driver, dodging the many cows, elephants, trucks and tuk tuks. And always got us from A to B on time. There were a few hiccups with the van (no of which Chami's fault), but it added to the adventure and gave us a few good laughs along the way. Chami handled everything calmly and made sure we were always comfortable and on schedule.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable travel experience in Sri Lanka. Would definitely book again! Alisha M2025-06-17Verified Unforgettable trip to Sri Lanka with Mandara tours! We had the best time exploring Sri Lanka with Chami as our guide—he made the whole journey truly memorable. From start to finish, he ensured we felt safe, supported, and well cared for, always going above and beyond to make each day special. We’re so thankful to have had Chami lead us through such a beautiful country. His presence made a big difference, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mandara Tours to anyone planning a visit to Sri Lanka! leith g2025-04-29Verified Highly recommend! We had an amazing time with Chamil on our last day who was very informative and friendly. He really went above and beyond for us when we realised more than an hour later that we did not drop our hotel key off and he assisted us with a smile while we continued to explore Galle. We really really appreciate him for helping us and making the day less stressful for us. He really exudes the hospitality of Sri Lanka and we are so thankful. We can't wait to come back for a trip with him and intend to highly recommend him to any visitors to Sri Lanka which has been an amazing holiday for us! San L2025-04-20Verified Experience Sri Lanka, the Chami Way! Simple and no stress. That's what you want when traveling and especially to a more exotic country like Sri Lanka. Should you drive? You could, but do you know how dodge cattle, buffalo, dogs, elephants, and of course, crazy people and Tuk Tuks coming from all sides?Mr Chami gets you from A to B, with no stress, and he is your walking encyclopedia for all the travel tips you need, if you need it. Where to stay, where to eat, what to do? And, just in case you fall in love with Sri Lankan curries, hoppers, sambals,... well, Chami has some secret recipes and experiences for you (maybe.. 😉). Global040837615382024-12-21Verified An unforgettable trip to fantastic Sri Lanka Amazing experience our trip to Sri Lanka that became even more beautiful than the luck we had to go all the places we wanted with the Madara tours. Our amazing guide, Chami, who helped us see the most beautiful parts of his beloved country. He welcomed us in the house of his parents, but also in his own with his wonderful wife, who showed us how they live, how they cook and prepared us an amazing meal.
