🍃
Imagine a moment in the jungle where you spot a leopard lurking around taking its place as King or Queen of our Jungles? 🐾 Our little moment of Simba… of course, the leopard version. 💚
🐆
Scientifically known as Panthera Pardus Kotiya, this subspecies native to Sri Lanka is the most secretive and elusive of the large carnivores and Sri Lanka takes pride as Yala National Park has the highest density of leopards in the world!
🌏
Witness this magical moment, or even if it’s a drive through the park and enjoy the wilderness, for it is therapy. And our philosophy at Back of Beyond Travels is promoting sustainable and responsible travel.

Are you a waterfall lover? In that case, Sri Lanka, in comparison to its size, has perhaps the largest number of waterfalls of any country in the world.
💗
This is the view of Diyaluma Falls, the second highest waterfall in Sri Lanka at 220m.
⛰
Legend has it that a king had fallen in love with a young woman belonging to a lower caste. This affair enraged the king’s subjects so the lovers decided to flee. Arriving at the site of the fall, they began climbing upwards. The king made it to the top, but the creeper the woman was hanging onto became entangled in rocks and she plunged to her death. It is said that the tears shed by the king in his grief were collected by a deity and turned into the fall as it stands today..

Here’s some trivia for you about ancient Sri Lanka. The time of Taprobana!
🇱🇰
Taprobana is actually Ceylon, although it was sometimes confused with Sumatra on some maps. Taprobana, as it was called on most early maps, was an important post for trade between the east and the west, and was drawn too large on many maps because of its importance.

The story of Back of Beyond Travels
🌿
Travelling has been a way of life since our childhood, and our Island home our passion. Powered by these memories and a lifestyle that was impossible to forget, 12 years ago Back of Beyond came in to being recreate the innumerable nights we spent in away from home. The experiences and wealth of knowledge about this Island that my father and his friends collected were shared in the form of Handbook for the Ceylon Traveler – possibly the first travel guide book in English written and published by Sri Lankans about their own experiences. We had to follow it up with one for our generation: Sigiriya & Beyond, to encourage travelers to get off the beaten path and explore the back of beyond, writes Yohan Weerasuriya. What we did not expect was for people to be inspired but…come back to us and say, ‘will you take us on a tour?
So was born ‘Travels to the Back of Beyond’! We want you to experience Sri Lanka like we do…its silver nights, golden dawns, the buzzing wilderness, the hidden back streets of cities, to see the fresh flower by a worn out stone image, to feel the hot sand and cold sea mix between your toes…
For us, our Island home is a never ending source of serendipity. We will take you with us to explore our people and culture, our ancient heritage and current communities, the wilderness and mountains. We have been there as we pleased. Let us take you as you please!
