Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a wonderfully varied cycling destination, combining tropical countryside, ancient cities, tea-covered mountains, wildlife-rich national parks and a beautiful Indian Ocean coastline. Its compact size means the landscapes can change dramatically over relatively short distances, making almost every day on the bike feel different.

Our Sri Lanka Classic cycling tour explores the island from its cultural heartlands to the central highlands and southern coast. Along the way, you cycle through rice-growing countryside, tea plantations and rural villages, discover ancient temples and historic towns, and experience the wildlife, cuisine and warm hospitality that make Sri Lanka such a rewarding country to explore by bike.

More Information about Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has an extraordinary diversity of landscapes and culture within a relatively small island. Ancient Buddhist cities and temples lie among tropical plains and rice fields, while the interior rises into a cooler world of forested mountains, waterfalls and tea plantations before descending towards palm-fringed beaches and the Indian Ocean.

The island is also renowned for its wildlife. Elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and an extraordinary variety of birdlife can be encountered across its national parks and rural landscapes, adding another dimension to a journey through the country.

Cycling brings you particularly close to everyday life in Sri Lanka. Quiet rural roads pass through villages, farmland and tea-growing communities, with colourful markets, roadside fruit stalls and Buddhist temples appearing along the way. The island’s Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim and colonial influences are reflected in its architecture, traditions and wonderfully varied cuisine.

Combining tropical scenery, mountain riding, wildlife, ancient history and welcoming communities, Sri Lanka offers an exceptionally varied cycling experience and a fascinating introduction to the cultures and landscapes of the Indian Ocean.
