Trekurious, Sri Lanka’s premium online experiential tour and activity provider gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in Geoffrey Bawa’s rich architectural legacy with a curated day tour showcasing some of his best works in the company of his protégé Channa Daswatte. Thought to be one of the most influential Asian architects of the 20th century, Geoffrey Bawa is known as the father of the ‘tropical modernism’ style of architecture.

“Geoffrey Bawa and his works are national treasures and Trekurious is proud to collaborate with Channa Daswatte and the Geoffrey Bawa Trust to create this wonderful tour. Channa, of course, is the perfect person to host this tour, having worked closely with Bawa himself and being a highly accomplished and lauded architect himself,” says Rukmankan Sivaloganathan, CEO of Trekurious, adding that tours of this nature are absolutely essential if Sri Lanka is to attract and cater to more affluent and discerning tourists.

The tour, on 27 January, includes visits to some of the resorts designed by Bawa in Bentota, tours of Brief – the work of Geoffrey’s brother Bevis – and Lunuganga gardens with lunch at Lunuganga, Seema Malakaya, a Buddhist meditation centre on the Beira Lake, and ends with cocktails and dinner hosted by Channa at Bawa’s former residence, now the home of the Geoffrey Bawa Trust.

Founded by Rukmankan Sivaloganathan and Dilendra Wimalasekere, Trekurious is an online platform that helps people find and book amazing experiences and activities in Sri Lanka. You can book this tour on www.trekurious.com or call +94724202020 for more information.
