We design Sri Lanka,
one journey at a time.
A Kandy travel-design studio opening in 2026 — a small team with a deep local network, drawing every itinerary by hand.
CULTURAL TRIANGLE
What we believe
Sri Lanka deserves journeys that match the depth of the place. Not packages, but deliberate trips, shaped to the traveller in front of us, run by the people who live the island.
We are a small Kandy-based studio, opening our doors in 2026. We design every itinerary by hand, drive every route ourselves, and stay in conversation with the families, naturalists, fixers and hoteliers who quietly make a journey work. The kind of trip you remember in years, not the kind you remember on the way home from the airport.

How we work
Five principles, every trip.
These aren't taglines. They are the operating rules we hold ourselves to, the things that make an Escape Routes journey feel different.
By hand
Tailor-made on every single trip. No templates, no quotas.
Locally run
Designers, drivers and guides, all Sri Lankan and all on our staff.
Designer on call
One designer end to end. Always reachable. Weekends included.
Quietly thorough
Permits, plates, plates of curry. We run the back of house so you just travel.
On staff, not freelance
Our team is salaried, trained on the road, and answers to us.
