We like to think of ourselves as modern-day explorers who carry on the spirit of discovery, adventure, and curiosity in places we travel. Fueled by our unquenchable passion for discovering every nook and cranny of our island, we thoroughly map out the destinations we explore. Although humans have travelled extensively across the planet, we believe that the age of exploration is not entirely over. While the concepts of "travelling" and "exploring" are related, they differ in their purposes, objectives, and the depth of immersive encounters tied to a destination. Perhaps this is why we believe that no matter how many times you travel to a destination, there is so much more to explore and discover.

At Authenticities, our aim is to showcase local cultures and livelihoods in their purest forms, while also being mindful of the impact that over-tourism can have on their fragile ecosystems of cultures. We take great care to portray our culture in a way that is respectful and does not over-expose it.

The call of the wild
A rare sight of a mighty tusker as captured on video by our very own wildlife expert at Authenticities, Nuwan Amarasuriya. We asked Nuwan what he thought of these magnificent creatures as he observed them in their most natural element;
“To appreciate the true stature of the elephant, we must watch and appreciate a herd in the wild. In the wild, is where these gentle creatures reflect in their most natural element and amongst their own, they display the true quality of their social life. As there may only be about 4 - 6% of Sri Lankan male elephants with tusks (Asian elephants differ from their African counterparts as only males have tusks due to their genetic makeup), it was a rare opportunity for me to study them closely and in their natural habitat.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to disclose the location of this gentle giant on account of their lives being under persistent threat."

The artful skill of dehusking a coconut is no mere easy task. It demands a lot of energy and an equal amount of patience altogether. However, for those in the industry of coconut cultivation go through dehusking a large number of coconuts a day and eventually, what appears as a rigid process, over time and experience, transforms into an asymmetrical rhythm that their livelihood depends on.
The sound of the coconut husk detaching from the hardened shell is perhaps something of a unique sound. Not only does each part of the coconut tree have a use, including the fruits, wood, and leaves, but the husk is used in many ways as household cleaning items and craft material to create many beautiful things

At Authenticities, we always strive to look beyond the nondescript travel plans and brochures. What inspires lasting travel memories, meeting locals, going to a place you would have never found on your own, pushing the envelope a little further; we believe the notion of authentic travel begins when you experience Sri Lanka beyond their expectations.

The hike to the summit of Danigala (also known as the alien rock) was far from an easy mountaineering experience for me. Once reaching the surface, the phenomenal 360-degree views of the surrounding valley only made me thankful for the strenuous climb because what I felt was nothing short of supernatural. Entranced and mystified, though I was exhausted, my legs had the strength to take me around and explore the unkept terrain. Tell tales of my humble guide suggests that this magnetic mountain rock was once held as Ravana’s aviation administration building and the caves below indicated traces of an elevated tunnel system, stored his treasury. Stretched thin for a long time on the precipice of the rock, I suddenly realized how I’ve not been observing nature but have instead become a part of it.
