About the agency
About Atypique Lanka
Atypique Lanka is a French-speaking travel agency founded in Sri Lanka in 2012 by Chamika, a Sri Lankan who grew up in France, and Marjorie Alexandre. Now trading as Atypique Voyages, it designs only tailor-made trips, built around what it calls 'pépites': hand-picked local experiences such as a Buddhist monastery retreat, a remote mountain village, a wreck dive off Colombo and nights in the founders' own Huma Terra treehouses. It gained Travelife certification in 2026 and funds women's and education projects through the Fondation Atypique.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs Atypique Lanka?
Atypique Lanka was founded in 2012 by Chamika, a Sri Lankan who grew up in France, and Marjorie Alexandre, who still lead the company. Since 2020 it has traded as Atypique Voyages and added trips to Vietnam, Indonesia and the Maldives. The Sri Lankan company, Atypique Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, is based in Nawala, Colombo.
Is Atypique Lanka licensed by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority?

Does Atypique Lanka sell tour packages?
No. Atypique Lanka does not sell fixed packages; every trip is designed to order with a travel designer.

How much does an Atypique Lanka trip cost?
Atypique Lanka does not publish prices, because every trip is built from scratch around the traveller's dates, interests and choice of accommodation. A quote is prepared after a conversation with one of its French-speaking travel designers. To compare prices with other licensed agencies, you can also request a free quote through Wonder of Ceylon.
