Where It All Began
Synova Travels was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to connect the world with Sri Lanka's magnificent heritage through authentic, meaningful experiences.
Founded in 2020 by Dhanushka Priyanath, an engineer 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 an engineering background bringing precision to planning and a heart devoted to heritage, we set out to create journeys that honor Sri Lanka's ancient wisdom while meeting modern travelers' expectations.
Just as radio waves traverse continents invisibly connecting distant points, we believe travel should connect hearts and minds across cultural frequencies. This philosophy guides everything we do.
