For partners and travellers

The places and festivals every trip is built around.

Sigiriya, the Temple of the Tooth, the national parks, the Perahera nights. Sarisara makes one honest page for each — and guides add them to their trips.

Places: made by Sarisara, open to every guide

Public places belong to everyone, so only Sarisara creates their pages.

  • One page for each placeIts story, photos, opening hours, visitor rules and dress code
  • Ticket prices only when confirmedShown only when we have confirmed them — never a guess
  • Entrance tickets are not includedThe traveller pays them in cash at the gate. No money passes through Sarisara, and no guide pays from their own pocket
  • Guides add places to their tripsAnd the traveller sees the same note: entrance tickets are paid at the gate

Can I build an activity around a place?

Yes — but not a copy of the place itself.

Welcome

An activity built around a place — a Kandy handicraft walk near the Temple of the Tooth, a village lunch below Sigiriya.

Not accepted

A listing that only visits the place, like a plain “Sigiriya visit”. Guides add Sarisara’s own Sigiriya page instead.

Festivals all year round

Sri Lanka celebrates in every month. Each festival has its own Sarisara page.

  • Kandy Esala Perahera
  • Sinhala and Tamil New Year
  • Vesak
  • Poson
  • Nallur Festival
  • Kataragama Festival
  • Deepavali
  • Christmas in Sri Lanka
  • Navam Perahera
  • Duruthu Perahera
  • Sri Pada pilgrim season
  • Madhu Church feast

Each page tells the traveller what the festival is, where and when it happens, and how to join it with respect.

Sri Lanka, every month

Every month has something lovely. We describe each month by what it is.

  • Sun-soaked, green, quiet — every month has its own beauty, and its own region where the sun is.
  • Perahera nights, Vesak lanterns, whale season — we name the month by what makes it special.
  • Busy — book early, or quieter — more space for you. Crowds are a small note, never a warning.
