Born in the Bush
We are a small team of local trackers and naturalists who grew up alongside the elephant herds of Sigiriya.
Our Story
Most safari operators in Sigiriya see elephants as a business. We see them as neighbors.
Hasthi Trails Sigiriya was founded with a single mission: to offer an honest alternative to the mass-market, crowded jeep safaris. We were tired of seeing jeeps crowd the animals and operators sell tickets to parks where the elephants hadn't been seen for weeks.
We believe in tracking the herds properly, reading the environment, and placing you in the best position to observe natural behavior without disturbance.
