I am a very genuine man, loving husband and devoted father of a little girl living in Koslanda on the foothills of Haputale.
Currently I’m managing “The Cliff Lodge - Camping Sri Lanka” together with the owners Anke and Naveen.
Open to everything and taking on challenges and new opportunities everyday in my life Anke and Naveen always say that I have been the driving force for them to start their adventure and open their camping site.
“We can do this” - I said and now “We are doing it” - all together
Step by Step! Stone by Stone! Bit by Bit!
Earlier in my life I have been working in a hotel down South and being an excellent driver of all cars you can imagine and motorbikes alike I decided to join them and their amazing concept and gave up an excellent job as a personal driver.
The Cliff Lodge is situated in a very rural surrounding and only 4x4 vehicles can master the last 8km off-road to get there. It has been a challenge to organise the transport from and to Haputale as only very few people were willing to take on this road.
I have found a driver with a jeep and made sure, that all guests could experience a safe and also exciting ride to The Cliff Lodge.
Well, it didn’t stop there…
Anke and Naveen were talking a lot about how to make this even better and returned the favour in being the Driving Force for me and start My Own Business!
“You can do this” - they said and “I now am doing it” …
Being the proud owner of 2 Safari Jeeps by now I am managing all guest transports and deliveries for The Cliff Lodge and with the support of Anke and Naveen My Dream of my very own business became true.
I have been inspired by both of them and learned a lot in the short time we know each other. My heart is full of joy and happiness about this opportunity and I would love to
Invite All Of You
to enjoy the warm hospitality of the people around here and take part in the experiences we all together created for You.

Ps: A special Thank You goes out to my family and friends who supported me all the way, to my mentor Mr. Gnanasekaren for guiding me with his wisdom and trust and finally to Anke and Naveen for opening my heart and mind to explore this opportunity.
