cycle Sri Lanka Challenge
The tropical island of Sri Lanka is a must-visit destination, with its vibrant and historically rich architecture and incredibly diverse scenery. This thrilling challenge takes us from Sri Lanka’s beautiful west coast, weaving inland over the central highlands, exploring tea plantations and beautiful landscapes, around Kandy and onto the principal port of Trincomalee. We will be soaking up the landmarks as we pass, including Dambulla Cave Temple a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our adventure concludes on the northeast coast, relaxing by the Indian Ocean. This is a challenging trip and not for the faint-hearted, but the stunning scenery, friendly people and rare insight into rural Sri Lankan life will not disappoint.

Not everyone is a regular cyclist – or perhaps you simply want the option to relax and take in the scenery. That’s why we offer e-bike rental on our cycle challenges. These lightweight mountain bikes come with a small electric motor that can be charged each evening – and will give you the option of a power boost on uphill sections, or the ability to ease off the pedals on the flat.
You can reserve your e-bike when registering, or contact us later to add it to your booking.
