Welcome to Novial Nomad

Rooted in the fusion of Finnish ingenuity and Sri Lankan hospitality, Novial Nomad has grown into a global travel curator, crafting experiences across Asia and beyond. With every journey booked, our 1% Promise ensures that 1% of our profits go towards supporting education initiatives and school development in Sri Lanka - because travel should leave a lasting impact, not just on the traveller, but on the communities we explore.

Our Story

Novial Nomad is a globally inspired travel company offering transformative experiences across Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, and Turkey, with exciting expansions into Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Born from a shared passion for discovery, a deep respect for cultural connections, and a commitment to sustainable tourism practices, we sincerely believe travel should be more than just sightseeing - it should be an immersive journey that fosters cultural connections and honours both nature and heritage.

We specialise in small group tours (maximum 15 travellers) and bespoke independent journeys (FITs), ensuring flexibility and a personal touch. Whether you seek the camaraderie of like-minded explorers or a custom-tailored adventure at your own pace, our itineraries are designed to be immersive, thoughtfully paced, and filled with meaningful moments.

Our Mission

At Novial Nomad, our mission is to inspire meaningful journeys that go beyond exploration - ensuring every adventure contributes to a greater purpose. We are committed to sustainable tourism practices, weaving responsibility into every step of the travel experience. From supporting local community support initiatives to championing cultural heritage preservation, we believe travel should uplift the places and people that make each destination extraordinary.

By blending Finnish ingenuity with Sri Lankan warmth, we craft authentic travel experiences that connect travellers with cultures, landscapes, and stories in a way that is both enriching and transformative. As an eco-conscious travel agency, we prioritise responsible exploration, ensuring that the beauty of today’s world is preserved for future generations.
