Chaya Manawamma Berkvens

I grew up in Sri Lanka and carry its spirit with me wherever I go. Sharing the beauty, warmth, and depth of my island is something I truly love — it’s what led me to co-found Passiko Voyages.

I’m also a trained Kandyan dancer — a classical dance form of Sri Lanka —which means Sri Lanka’s music, movement, and traditions are part of who I am. I bring that passion into every tour we design — making sure you don’t just visit Sri Lanka, but feel it.

Whether it’s pointing you to the best local food spots, introducing you to the rhythms of a village drum ceremony, or helping you find the perfect beach at sunset, I’m here to help you experience Sri Lanka like a local — with love, curiosity, and a little extra spice!
