The scenery is magnificent, the food superb and the people amongst the friendliest on earth. Travelling by bike is a great way to mix with the people
This trip covers a substantial part of the island, taking in as much as possible
of the scenic and cultural variety that Sri Lanka has to offer. The combination of visits to the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya, great rides through the beautiful hill country around Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, the variety of wildlife from the hills to the lowland Udawalawe national park, and a chance to relax on one of the many wonderful beaches, will certainly make you want to come back here again and again. However, this is not just a cycling holiday; it is also an insight into a way of life which can only be appreciated from the saddle.
For the mountain biker there is a profusion of dirt roads criss-crossing the hill country and National Parks. The majority of the rides follow dirt tracks and quiet country roads, and most of the riding is not technically difficult though the terrain is hilly to mountainous on some days, requiring reasonable fitness. There are some options for tougher rides though in many cases there is also an easier road alternative on these days.
