My experience was incredible. Chatu was wonderful to us throughout our stay. He was attentive, respectful, caring, and always looking out for our needs. If you're looking for a great guide and tour manager in Sri Lanka, look no further.

My family and I have spent two weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, and thanks to Chatu and his wife, everything was organised perfectly from start to finish. The entire trip was completely stress-free, with all transport, sightseeing, and hotel bookings arranged for us. Places We Visited 📍 Colombo 📍 Kandy 📍 Trincomalee 📍 Nilaveli 📍 Pasikuda 📍 Marble Beach 📍 Sigiriya 📍 Habarana Village Tour 📍 Elephant Experiences 📍 Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage Why I Recommend Them ✅ Stress-free travel planning ✅ Hotel bookings arranged for you ✅ Reliable and trusted service ✅ Comfortable transport throughout the trip ✅ Excellent local knowledge ✅ Great value for money ✅ Mostly 4-star and above accommodation If you contact Chatu, mention that you were referred by Nuwan from the UK, For anyone looking to explore Sri Lanka without the hassle of organising everything themselves, I can genuinely recommend Hash One Ceylon Tours.

We had a wonderful experience with Hash One Ceylon. Everything from hotel arrangements to sightseeing was perfectly organized. The team was very supportive 🙂
We had the most wonderful experience exploring Sri Lanka with Chathu as our tour guide and travel partner. From Dambulla and Sigiriya to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Weligama, Galle Fort, and Hikkaduwa, he made sure we experienced not just the sights but also the heart of the country. Chathu is extremely knowledgeable about Sri Lanka’s history and culture, and his stories brought each place alive. He was also very considerate, kind, and attentive to our needs throughout the journey, making the trip comfortable and memorable for our whole family. Thanks to him, we discovered the most scenic places, tasted authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, and truly connected with the local culture. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, I would highly recommend choosing Chathu as your tour guide and travel companion — he will make your journey unforgettable! He is a true ambassador of Sri Lankan hospitality and we leave the country overwhelmed and appreciative of Sri Lanka and its people.
Thanks for Hashone team support. Chathu and Monika took extra care to make us feel comfortable from start of enquiry to end of the trip. Appreciate extended support. It was not a normal trip, it’s like a joining the extended family for a trip.

We had a great stay thanks to Anjana, who was a great driver and ensured that our holiday went off without a hitch. Our son of 4, was secure with Anjana
We traveled to Sri Lanka in February 2025. A few days before our trip, we got in touch with Chathu on WhatsApp, and right away, we had a feeling our journey would be amazing. Spending time with Chathu was an absolute pleasure! He is not only a true professional but also one of the friendliest people we've ever met. He drives safely, knows the country inside out, and is always ready to share his knowledge. His car is new, comfortable, and spotless. Most importantly, he listens carefully to what you want and goes above and beyond to make your dreams come true. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka, don’t hesitate—book Chathu! Even though we only spent 10 days together, it felt like we had known him for years. We can’t wait to return!
We pre-booked the tour two days prior to departure from our origin, ensuring seamless arrangements upon arrival at Colombo Airport. Our dedicated guide, Chathu, provided exceptional service, contributing significantly to a highly enjoyable and comfortable experience. His professionalism and attentiveness have solidified our intention to return to Sri Lanka.
Our trip in Sri Lanka was really amazing and memorable and all credit goes to our guide Chattu. He drove us to all places that we chose in our itinerary for 10 days. We got covered all the possible tourist attractions in a very comfortable manner. If anyone is wishing to go Sri Lanka, I would recommend to get the tour with Chattu as he is a perfect guide to explore the country. Chattu, special thanks to you from the bottom of our heart ( Anil and Jyoti) for making our trip so memorable. All the very best and Hope to see you again in Sri Lanka
This trip was a success because of our guide and the staff! Chathu went out of his way to make us feel safe, but also support our desire for adventure! As two women traveling alone my friend and I were of course concerned about traveling all over Sri Lanka for 10 days, but Chathu took great care of us. He used his local connections to make sure we had unique experiences: we had a personal chef in Trinco cook us a seafood feast, got mangos from his in-laws’ property in Polonnaruwa, and found an amazing restaurant on the beach in Mirissa. He served as our historian, guide, interpreter, chaperone- you name it. By the end of the trip we were sad to part ways, and have stayed in touch. I can’t recommend Chathu enough; he made our trip the adventure of a lifetime. Book a trip with him, be flexible and open to his suggestions, and you’ll have an amazing time!
This Tour was an amazing experience from the very start thanks to our Tour guide Shri. He was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the tour. I will continue to book him for my further visits he is a very kind and humble guy who is passionate about his job. We are beyond blessed to have him as our guide he will look out for you throughout the tour from start to finish. I’m sure I will never meet a guide like him anywhere else, so for any tourist seeking a travel agency go with this one Hash one and book your tour with Shri you will have a blast exploring with him .also thank you again chatu for putting our tour together and planning everything out for us day by day it was perfect in every way and this tour exceeded my expectations until we meet again and once again thank you for showing us this beautiful country I will be back
Chana was our tour guide which I highly recommend. Let me start off with he knew the exact spots to visit, foods, activities, views. He was very nice, respectful and trustworthy. He went above and beyond for our tour! He is very very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and taught us about Buddhism. He took very nice pictures of us with his own professional camera. We had an amazing time in Sri Lanka thanks to Hashone tour guide and his amazing employee Chana. Thank you!!!
I booked with Chatu for 6 days trip , the welcome was really amazing like u are coming to your home , he was very flexible and professional, I recommend
My trip with Chathu was more than just a vacation. It was like coming home. Chathu loves his country and he brings that over. Whether sights, food, great places, he knows where it is beautiful and likes to share his experiences with his guests. In addition, he is a very safe driver and I always felt comfortable. If you not only want to see the standard places, but also want to get to know the real Sri Lanka, then HashOne Sri Lanka and Chathu is right for you. You can only love this country.
Chatur is excellent host, guide and driver. He has deep knowledge about sri lanka and will not miss any gem . He is good in food recommendations and loves his country
We booked a driver and guide (Dilshan/Dalshene) through HashOne who accompanied us for two weeks in Sri Lanka. The two took fantastic care of us and supported us in the tour planning. The current diesel problem you completely mitigated, we never had a problem to move forward... Sri Lanka is a very worthwhile destination even now in the economic crisis, the people are super friendly and there is so much variety to see! Clear recommendation for HashOne and team - both for solo travelers, couples and families. You certainly can’t get better local support 😀
