About Us
Curated by people who shape
tourism in the south.
Go Lanka Leisure is a Sri Lankan travel company designing private, unhurried journeys for travellers who want the island as a feeling rather than a checklist. We are based in the south, and we work the way locals do — through relationships, not inventory.
That distinction matters. The difference between a good hotel and a hotel with the right atmosphere is not something you find in a booking system. It is something you know because you live here.
Leadership
Jayan Godakanda
Founder & Chairman, Go Lanka Leisure
Jayan Godakanda is the Chairman of the Ruhunu Tourist Bureau, leading regional tourism initiatives and cultural partnerships in southern Sri Lanka. His work there spans tourism infrastructure, community home-stay programmes, and the cultural exchanges that connect Colombo and Galle to the wider world.
It is the reason our journeys reach places that are not on a booking platform: the estate that does not advertise, the naturalist who takes three guests a week, the family kitchen that has never called itself a restaurant.
Chairman, Ruhunu Tourist Bureau
Oversees regional tourism development, infrastructure projects, and village-level home-stay programmes across the Southern Province.
Regional tourism development
Works on the infrastructure and community programmes that shape how the south of the island receives visitors — the same ground our journeys are designed on.
International cultural partnerships
Engages with cultural organisations including the Russian House in Colombo to promote regional events and strengthen tourism ties between Colombo and Galle.
If that is the kind of access you are looking for, the next step is a conversation — not a quote.
