Shamika Prasad

Hello & Welcome!

I am Shamika Prasad, founder, host, and local guide at Sapphire Step. Born and raised in the misty hills of the Kandy region, I have spent years sharing the authentic beauty, rich culture, and hidden trailways of Sri Lanka with travelers from around the world.

My mission is simple: to offer you more than just a typical tour. Whether guiding you along scenic mountain treks like the Pekoe Trail, revealing the hidden history of Kandy, or welcoming you to a peaceful local stay, I ensure every step of your journey is safe, memorable, and truly personal.

Let’s explore the heart of Sri Lanka together—beyond the usual maps!
