Plantation-expertise-driven, sustainability-grounded, and genuinely immersive — Sri Lanka's extraordinary landscapes opened by someone who has managed them for 27 years.
Tarquin Travels is a sustainability-focused destination management company specialising in authentic green tourism that reveals Sri Lanka's hidden landscapes, living traditions, and ecological richness. Founded by Mr. Muditha Rajasekara — a plantation management specialist with nearly three decades across the Kandy and Matale regions — we offer what no conventional operator can: journeys designed by someone who has walked the rows, managed the harvests, and understood the rhythms of Sri Lanka's agricultural soul.
Our seven tourism verticals span tea heritage expeditions, cultural kingdom circuits, eco-adventure and wildlife, Ayurveda wellness, culinary spice trails, premium coastal experiences, and corporate MICE — all grounded in 27 years of genuine plantation insider knowledge and community relationships.
Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To be Sri Lanka's most trusted destination management company, delivering authentic green journeys that connect travellers with the island's nature, tea heritage, and timeless culture.
Our Mission
To design and deliver responsible leisure and tea tourism experiences across Sri Lanka by combining local expertise, sustainable practices, and personalised service for travellers from Australia, India, and Europe.
Core Values
Green Integrity
Every journey respects the land it crosses. Environmental responsibility is embedded into every itinerary, partnership, and operational decision — tourism as ecological preservation.
Authentic Heritage
Experiences rooted in genuine Sri Lankan traditions and real community connections — meaningful exchange between travellers and local custodians, never commodified culture.
Personalised Excellence
No two journeys are alike. Every itinerary is crafted around individual preferences and delivered with meticulous attention to detail and real-time flexibility.
Plantation Expertise
The founder's 27-year career is the company's competitive soul — translating into exclusive access, insider perspectives, and unmatched storytelling across Sri Lanka's green landscapes.
Community Empowerment
Tourism must benefit the communities it touches. We channel economic opportunity to villages, artisan cooperatives, and local service providers across all operating regions.
Multi-Market Intelligence
Deep understanding of Australian, Indian, and European traveller expectations — genuinely tailored service delivery across all three core source markets.
