ABOUT ME

My name is Ranil. I was born in 1978 in Anuradhapura (the first kingdom in Sri Lanka). I am married to Inoka. My wife was working as a teacher at an international school. She is from Kandy (the last kingdom in Sri Lanka). ‘ Just like first kingdom meets last kingdom ’. We have a son and a daughter. Venuka & Yenuli.

I was an employee in Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Shangri La Hotel Dubai, Kempinski Hotel, Doha Qatar & Singapore where I was able to take lots of experiences as an hotelier under big chain hotels.

My father was a Chef and he worked in the Sulatanate of Oman Royal air force catering section for over 15 years. Before he moved to Oman, he worked in star class hotels in Sri Lanka as well so that I have had a '' hotelier '' environment since my childhood. I started to love this industry. After I completed my higher studies at St' Josephs College Anuradhapura in 1999, I joined the Ceylon Hotel School and School of Tourism (SLITHM) to do my hotel management course. I was there for 3 years and then in the year 2002 I started my 10 year overseas career. I joined to Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I was a part of the pre-opening team (Four Seasons is one of the number one chain hotels in the world), then after three years I joined Shangri La Hotel Dubai & then moved to Singapore. I was back to Kmpinski Hotel again, as a Pre-opening team member. In the year 2010, I came back to Sri Lanka and I started working from my home in Peradeniya, Kandy and at the same time I started my tour operations. Now I have become an Area Tour guide licence holder, so having all these 17 years of experience in the hotel industry, I would like to invite you all to join me for a round tour in your visit to my lovely country.
