🌿 About Me – Your Local Storyteller in Kandy
Hello! 👋
My name is Rasika, born and raised in Kandy—a city where every street, temple, and hill has a story. I’m not just a guide, but a local storyteller who loves sharing the real soul of my hometown with curious travelers.
I learned Kandy’s history not only from books, but from elders, traditions, and daily life. My aim is to help you experience Kandy like a local—slowly, meaningfully, and beyond the usual tourist path.
❤️ My Interests
Kandyan history, legends, and royal stories
Buddhist culture and local traditions
Hidden viewpoints, nature paths, and calm spaces
Local markets, street food, and daily life
Photography spots and authentic experiences

If you’re looking for more than sightseeing and want to truly understand Kandy’s culture and people, I’d be happy to walk with you and share my city’s story.
Great way to learn a bit more about Kandy. Rasika was very helpful and kind. The tour was done based on our interests and this made the experience even more unique.
We had a very nice tour with Ravika today who after we booked contacted us to propose a tuk tuk tour instead. This made the tour much easier and we were able to visit several interesting sites including an Ayurveda herb garden and clinic. Ravika contacted us in advance with the proposed itinerary which we could amend as per our wishes and time available. We really appreciated his flexibility. Thank you Ravika
