Sri Lanka is currently facing a severe crisis. The country is grappling with shortages of essential supplies such as food, fuel, and electricity, leading to significant disruptions in businesses and healthcare services.

This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary. It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers.

It highlights the social and political elements of Sri Lanka, from the creation of the modern state to the current times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in Sri Lanka by conducting some first-hand research.

If you want to know about the more recent history of Sri Lanka as well as some economic and political background while wandering through some of the Colombo sites (independence square, the convention centre, world trade centre etc) then give this tour a go. You’ll see the sights as well as learn something. Chami is very well informed.
Highly recommend!!

Chami is a brilliant guide, full of intellect and passion. Chami not only shares her incredible wealth of knowledge but also her insights and ideas for change. You come away from this tour, not only with information about Sri Lanka’s social and political history, but also a deeper understanding of geopolitics, power, resistance and ideas for a better future.
A different kind of tour, and fascinating.

This is an excellent walking tour. Chami is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and a good communicator. Highly recommended for a different tour to the regular walking or tuk tuk tours in Colombo.
Great experience
