Our Story

A journey of agricultural passion, cultural heritage, and sustainable tourism

Founded 2015 Agro-Tourism Pioneer Agricultural Heritage

Where It All Began

HarriCens Ceylon was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to connect the world with Sri Lanka's magnificent agricultural heritage through authentic, meaningful experiences.

Founded in 2015 by H. JAGATH KUMARA, an agricultural expert with a deep passion for cultural preservation, our company emerged from the understanding that travel should be more than sightseeing—it should be transformative. With 25 years of agricultural expertise bringing genuine knowledge to every experience and a heart devoted to rural communities, we set out to create journeys that honor Sri Lanka's farming traditions while meeting modern travelers' expectations.

Every journey is crafted to provide genuine encounters with local farming families, hands-on participation in crop cultivation, and immersive insights into sustainable agricultural practices that have sustained this island nation for millennia. This philosophy guides everything we do.
