About this tour

Sri Lanka is in the midst of a brutal crisis that’s so bad, it’s been called the Asian Argentina. It’s not just food and fuel that are in short supply – power outages are also crippling businesses, and hospitals are running out of medicine. It’s like a trifecta of disaster! But that’s not all – this crisis is also a cautionary tale about the dangers of running up public debt and spending too much. It’s a reminder that sometimes, things can go from bad to worse in a hurry if we’re not careful. 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. Please feel free to contact me for a date and hour that works best for you.

This was an amazing experience. Chami gave a great summary of Sri Lanka‘s recent history, politics and economic situation. She is a true expert in this field, with excellent story telling capabilities. Also, we really enjoyed hearing her personal views on recent developments and future outlook through the perspective of a local. We learned a lot and we definitely recommend this experience. It is much better than going for a basic city tour. Don‘t miss out on this!
