Chamil
Safe, reliable driving and warm hospitality for family trips.
Chamil is a private driver you can trust with your whole family’s trip. Even if you’re traveling with small children, older parents, or someone who isn’t confident with heights, you’re in safe hands. He joins you for experiences like climbing Sigiriya Rock or going on safari, quietly adjusting the walking pace and rest stops so everyone feels comfortable. Even in unusual situations—such as traveling just after a cyclone—he constantly checks road conditions and safety updates, and calmly proposes the safest, most enjoyable route of the moment.
When plans have to change, Chamil is at his best. He handles itinerary changes, hotel and train cancellations, and new bookings efficiently, turning potential stress into smooth transitions. As he listens to your preferences, he’ll not only cover the must-see sights but also take you to local restaurants you’d never find on your own—places where every meal becomes a highlight. He is kind and patient with children, paying attention to their mood and health, and is someone parents feel comfortable leaving their child with when they need to skip a temple or take a break. With extensive experience guiding guests from Japan, communication is smooth, and there is a calm sense of security for three-generation trips, women traveling together, and solo travelers alike.
Quick-thinking, reliable with every promise, and always warm and natural in his manner, Chamil has a way of turning “travel time” into time that makes you fall even more in love with Sri Lanka. If you’d like your next trip to be a flexible, worry-free private tour, you’ll be glad you chose Chamil.

Chamil was genuinely concerned for us and communicated with the airline and delivery company in the local language. His help was invaluable, even though it must have been extra work for him.
It was reassuring that we could discuss everything in Japanese right up until our departure. Our driver, Chamil, also responded flexibly whenever we changed our plans.
Above all, his help with our delayed baggage from the outbound flight was invaluable. At first, we contacted the airline ourselves in English, but the luggage did not arrive as scheduled and we were at a complete loss. Chamil was genuinely concerned for us and communicated with the airline and delivery company in the local language.
Even though it must have been extra work for him, he readily offered to help.
Our child also became very fond of him, and thanks to Chamil we had a wonderful trip. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the reason we fell in love with Sri Lanka!

As this was a trip with my mother, I chose LankaMe because I wanted us to travel safely and with peace of mind.
He was kind, well-presented and punctual, and kept everything running on time.
He was friendly and reliably carried out everything we requested. We had planned to visit Sigiriya Rock in the evening, but he learned that it would be crowded and suggested moving the climb to early the following morning, recommending Ayurveda instead. We enjoyed a comfortable climb the next morning and also experienced the Ayurveda treatment we had wanted, so we were very glad that we followed his advice!
Entrusting the entire itinerary to him made the trip extremely comfortable.

As this was a trip with my mother, I chose LankaMe because I wanted us to travel safely and with peace of mind. With a limited itinerary and few ways to cover every place we wanted to visit, I was very glad we booked the service.
Our driver, Chamil, was friendly and responded flexibly. Thank you very much!!!

［PickUp］We travelled to Sri Lanka right after a cyclone and had to make major changes to our itinerary, but thanks to Chamil it still turned into an amazing trip.
We travelled to Sri Lanka right after a cyclone and had to make major changes to our itinerary, but thanks to Chamil it still turned into an amazing trip.
Because it was a three-generation family holiday, it was incredibly reassuring that he came with us for activities like climbing Sigiriya Rock and going on safari. When the schedule changes meant cancelling our original hotels and train tickets and booking new accommodation, he was always there to help, and we are truly grateful for that support.
He constantly gathered up-to-date information from various sources about road conditions and safety, and suggested the best possible routes at each moment. Those suggestions always reflected a real understanding of our preferences, so every single day was a lot of fun.
For meals as well, he took us to restaurants that only locals would usually know about (exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for), and we were thrilled. Every place he chose was delicious – it felt like one pleasant surprise after another.
He was always kind to our child, attentive when they weren’t feeling well or were sleepy, and we appreciated that so much. When our child was too tired to visit a temple, we felt completely at ease leaving them in Chamil’s care.
He is quick-thinking and endlessly considerate, and because all of that comes so naturally to him, both the adults and the children in our group ended up falling in love with Chamil and with Sri Lanka. The next time we visit Sri Lanka, we definitely want to ask for Chamil again.

Enjoy Sri Lanka Safely and Comfortably with a Private Taxi Charter
Sri Lanka has an impressive variety of attractions, from Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple to the tea country around Nuwara Eliya, the cultural city of Kandy, and the beach resorts of the south.
However, travelling between these places by public transport can involve complicated transfers, long travel times, and the inconvenience of carrying luggage between buses, trains, and stations.
For many first-time visitors from Europe, the main concerns are safety, communication, and whether the route can be planned efficiently within a limited holiday period.
A private taxi charter can make the trip smoother by connecting airport transfers, sightseeing stops, hotels, restaurants, and optional activities in one flexible itinerary.
LankaMe arranges Sri Lanka government-licensed tourist drivers and supports each itinerary according to your schedule, travel style, and preferred destinations.
We can help with airport transfers, intercity travel, sightseeing routes, hotel transfers, and restaurant visits, so you do not need to organise every movement separately.
With the Platinum Plan or higher, support can also include assistance at sightseeing spots and local explanations where available.
Rather than being only a means of transport, a private taxi charter can become a practical travel partner for understanding Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and nature more deeply.
If you are unsure about transport in Sri Lanka, or if you would like to know suitable routes and estimated costs, please feel free to contact us first.
