Why guides join LankaTrip

Your experience makes every journey more meaningful

LankaTrip values the knowledge you have built through every route, guest, and story — whether you are established or at the start of your guiding career.

A professional profile page

Your own public LankaTrip profile with your photo, story, specialities, and reviews — a link you can share anywhere, from WhatsApp to social media.

Direct traveller requests

Travellers planning Sri Lanka trips find you by district, language, and speciality, and contact you directly — no middlemen between you and your guests.

You set your own rates

Publish clear day rates, transfers, and shared-cost options. Travellers see honest pricing up front, so enquiries you get are serious ones.

A verified badge travellers trust

Your identity and guide licence are reviewed by the LankaTrip team. The verified badge tells travellers they are booking a genuine, credentialed guide.
