Itinerary
Sigiriya Colombo
Depart London
The group flight usually departs in the evening from London Heathrow.
Start Sigiriya
This Sri Lankan cycling trip begins in Sigiriya. There are no planned activities today, so take time to relax in the hotel and rest those legs before our two-wheel adventure begins in earnest tomorrow. There will be a welcome briefing in the evening helmed by our tour leader; it’s a good chance to get to know the group a little and ask any questions you may have.
Accommodation: Hotel Sigiriya (or similar)
Arrive Colombo; transfer to Sigiriya
The group flight from London typically arrives at Bandaranayake International Airport around lunchtime and we transfer to Sigiriya (approximately four hours). En-route we will stop for lunch in either Kurunegala or Dambulla depending on the flight arrival time.
Accommodation: Hotel Sigiriya (or similar)
Climb Sigiriya; ride to Dambulla cave temple
Rise early to climb the fifth-century rock fortress of Sigiriya before the crowds arrive. The palace ruins on the summit and rockface frescoes are surpassed only by the magnificent aerial view over the jungle. Please note, this is not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo.
Return to the hotel for a late breakfast and then ride along gravel roads following an old irrigation canal to Dambulla, a second-century BCE Buddhist cave temple. On the way, we stop by the Kandalama reservoir, which is rich in bird life. Arriving in Dambulla, it is well worth the walk to view the five caves, which contain many ancient Buddha statues, some carved from the solid rock. Returning via the busy market town, we take another quiet backroad through chilli and rice fields before cycling back to our hotel.
Accommodation: Hotel Sigiriya (or similar)
Ride to Polonnaruwa; cycle tour of ruins
This morning, we have a long ride along a quiet backroad, which is part of the Sigiriya nature reserve where you often come across monitor lizards and monkeys, before joining the highway to Polonnaruwa and riding to our hotel. After around 15mi (24km), we take a 15-minute bus transfer to avoid a stretch where wild elephants roam, before getting back on the bike to complete our ride.
Later, we tour the ruined city of Polonnaruwa, which dates from the 10th to 13th century. You have the option in the evening to join your tour leader at a family-owned restaurant to experience local food and culture.
Accommodation: Hotel Giritale (or similar)
Ride through foothills of spice-growing region
We follow a 4mi (6km) long artificial dam and canal to the source of a local lake, the Amban Ganga River. The afternoon ride is flanked by the Kalanduwa hills on one side and Wasgomuwa Wildlife Park on the other. And as jungle gives way to plantations, we enter the spice-growing region of Sri Lanka. The ride starts at an elevation of 328ft (100m) and the destination is at an elevation of 820ft (250m).
When we reach the main road, we dismount and board the bus for the journey as the road to Kandy can get very busy. On the way, we stop at a spice garden to learn more about the spices used in the piquant Sri Lankan curries.
Accommodation: Hotel Topaz (or similar)
Free day in Kandy
Enjoy a free day to explore. Kandy has so much to offer, including the wonderful botanical gardens, the Temple of the Tooth, and streets lined with curio shops. The surrounding hills are dotted with wonderful temples. Walk around the lake in the heart of the city to see huge water monitor lizards, fruit bats, palm squirrels, and birds such as kingfishers, pelicans and night herons. Also don’t miss the fruit and vegetable market for a chance to see busy Kandy in full swing.
Accommodation: Hotel Topaz (or similar)
Challenging ride through tea estates to Nuwara Eliya
For those who feel like a challenge, it’s 52mi (84km) – climbing up to 6,562ft (2,000m) above sea level – to reach this most favoured hill station. For the first part of the ride, we take the old road, a far more pleasant route, and one of the few places where you see terraced paddy fields. Beyond is tea country, reputed to produce the finest teas on the island. We cycle through thousands of acres of tea crops, where you will spot the tea pickers moving swiftly between the bushes in their vibrant clothes.
For anyone who doesn’t do hills, we strongly recommend the train ride to Nuwara Eliya. Tickets for the train journey are dependent on availability, they can only be purchased on the day and unable to reserve in advance. If unavailable, we can use the bus instead.
Accommodation: Araliya Red (or similar)
Morning ride to Nuwara Eliya town and tea factory; afternoon free
Nuwara Eliya was a popular hill station during the British era and is situated in the cool highland air at 6,200ft (1,890m). Known locally as Little England, it is dotted with British-style houses and parks and even features a golf club and racecourse.
After a leisurely breakfast, we take a short bus transfer into Nuwara Eliya town and then ride to a tea factory through little villages and patches of vegetables. As we twist and turn on the rolling, windy road, we get to see the town from different viewpoints. After understanding the journey from leaf to cup, we ride back to the hotel through lush green tea plantations.
We then have a free afternoon to explore Nuwara Eliya. Some hotels here are locked in time, a living museum of the colonial era that existed hundred years ago.
Accommodation: Araliya Red (or similar)
Hill country ride to Ella
In the morning, we cycle through hill country towards Ella, stopping for tea in Bandarawela, a trading centre where exotic fruits from the east coast are traded for hill country vegetables. On arrival into Ella, we stop for a late lunch before check-in. We have the chance to watch the sunset from the Ella Gap viewpoint. On a clear day, you can see the coast shimmering in the distance.
In the evening, we visit a local family to have a truly Sri Lankan dinner.
Accommodation: Hotel Country Comfort (or similar)
Descent, stopping at the rock-cut Buddha statues at Buduruvagela; to Tissamaharama
Descending 3,281ft (1,000m), we leave the breath-taking scenery of the Uva Province for the gentle rolling hills of the dry zone, taking a break en route at the impressive Rawana Ella waterfall before stopping at the rock-cut Buddha statues at Buduruvagala. The 49ft (15m) rock carving of Buddha is flanked by small figures depicting his helpers and a very rare image of Maitreya, the future Buddha, which dates from the 10th century. The tranquillity here is enhanced by the lotus-covered lake; we relax on the banks and eat fresh fruit before riding to lunch. Here we can retreat from the heat of the day, before the final 19mi (30km) to Tissamaharama, the capital of the old Ruhuna kingdom.
Accommodation: Chaarya Resort & Spa (or similar)
Morning ride to Kataragama Temple; afternoon drive to Yala National Park for safari
In the morning, we cycle to Kataragama temple, which lies 10mi (16km) northeast of Tissa. People of all faiths come to seek favour with the god Skanda, who is reputed to restore people’s health. The colourful and noisy pooja (ritual) is always busy, with thousands of pilgrims during the festival season from July to August. Tissa is close to Yala National Park, the best park in Sri Lanka to see leopards.
After lunch, we have a safari in the park, where we may see elephants, deer, wild boars, sloth bears, Asian jackals, lots of birdlife and, if we’re very lucky, a leopard. We explore the lesser-visited Block 5 area, which has denser vegetation than the open plains but the same chances of seeing the elusive leopards and sloth bears, all without having to compete with multiple other game vehicles. After, we return to Tissa for the night
Please note: the sanctuary may be closed for four to six weeks from September to October allowing the park authorities to check the animals. We therefore go to a nearby alternative, usually Lunugamvehera or Udawalawe National Park.
Accommodation: Chaarya Resort & Spa (or similar)
Ride through Bundala National Park and by the lagoon for spectacular birdlife; continue riding on the coast to Hambantota; transfer to Ahangama
Leaving early to avoid the heat of the dry zone, we ride along the boundary of Bundala Bird Sanctuary. We hit the main road for the final 19mi (30km) to Hambantota, a series of sandy bays fanning out from this typical coastal town. We then take a transfer from Hambantota to Ahangama by coach. For the next two nights we stay in Ahangama.
Accommodation: Insight Resort (or similar)
Free day on beach; optional ride to Koggala
Today you can pick your own adventure. Either relax at the hotel or join a late-morning ride (15.5mi/25km) along rural roads to Wandurugama village, where you stop at a colonial manor house for high tea and authentic Sri Lankan snack. Today it is known as Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa, occupied by a leading family within the local ancient Sri Lanka society. Quite a few prominent personalities were born and spent their childhood in this beautiful residence. After the visit, return to the hotel via Koggala Lake (approximately a three-hour ride).
This afternoon is free to explore the beach, laze by the pool or join an optional boat ride through mangrove swamps to a cinnamon plantation and monkey island on Koggala Lake. In the late afternoon, we can view the stilt fishermen climb their poles to catch a few bites for supper. From November to April, we can also go whale watching off Dondra head, near Mirissa, which is one of the best places in the world to see blue and sperm whales. Huge pods of dolphins often accompany the boats.
Accommodation: Insight Resort (or similar)
Transfer to Colombo via Galle
Leaving early after breakfast, we stop to visit Galle. The fort here was built in 1663 after the Dutch took the island from the Portuguese. The old ramparts and small back streets bring alive some of the history of the fight for colonial domination of this prized island. You’re free to find your own lunch, meeting back at the bus mid-afternoon for the two-hour drive to Colombo. The rest of the day is free to relax by the pool or shop along the main street. For the last evening meal, we can choose from one of the many restaurants in Colombo.
Accommodation: Hotel Cinnamon Red (or similar)

Essential Info
Is this trip for you?
This trip is rated Activity Level 4 (Moderate & Challenging). For more information on our trip gradings please visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.
- Average daily distance: 40mi (65km)
- Number of cycling days: 10 (including one optional ride)
- Vehicle support: Fully supported
The terrain is hilly, particularly around Nuwara Eliya and the hill country, but the support vehicle is available if required. Routes mostly follow quiet backroads with occasional unsurfaced sections, which may be rough in places. Rides are designed to run door-to-door without transfers. Keeping to the backroads means there is less traffic but it will become busier when approaching towns, such as Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Bandarawela, especially from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. However, these situations typically only occur during long weekends and holidays.
Please note, when visiting Sigiriya Rock Fortress (Lion Rock) the final ascent to the top is on metal open stairs fixed against the side of the rock. There are handrails on either side but those with a strong fear of heights may prefer to stay on the lower level (where the lion “paws” are) and not continue to the rock plateau.
April departures, Sinhala and Tamil New Year:
A unique celebration to the people of Sri Lanka, this important New Year national festival, known as Avurudu in Sinhala and Puththandu in Tamil, is not celebrated by any other nation. The Sinhala and Tamil New Year festivities are observed by both Sinhala Buddhists and Tamil Hindus across Sri Lanka for two days on the 12 – 13 April 2024 and 13 – 14 April 2025 (may vary slightly year on year). If you are travelling in Sri Lanka over these dates you can expect to see religious ceremonies, family activities, traditional foods, colourful decorations and a general feeling of good will toward neighbours and friends. Parties can go on into the night and it can be quite loud during this period. Your Leader will be happy to show you some of the activities where your itinerary allows. Please note, during the New Year public holiday, most shops, monuments and attractions will be closed however, your Leader will modify the itinerary as required to ensure minimal disruption

Getting to the start hotel
The start hotel is approximately a 2hr 45min drive from the airport. Your options for this journey are:

Make your own way
It’s possible to reach the start hotel by public transport, but the journey is complicated. We therefore recommend joining the group transfer where possible. If not, you can speak to your sales representative about booking a private transfer. Please note, the cost of our private transfer is likely to be higher than a local taxi as our service is subject to local government tax; however, we only allocate vetted drivers.
On arrival at the hotel, please make the reception staff aware you are part of an Exodus group and they will have more details on meeting with your leader and group.
If you would like further information on joining this trip, please speak to your sales representative.

Passport
Remember to check the expiration date of your passport if travelling internationally. Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after the date of your scheduled return.
Hotels and local guesthouses
Accommodation on this cycling trip is a mixture of hotels (some with pools) and local guesthouses. The guesthouses are modest but in good locations along the route and provide a real taste of the country. The normal accommodations used on this trip are on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a few of the notable places we stay.
Sigiriya: Hotel Sigiriya (nights 1-2)
This four-star property surrounded by nature is the perfect place to begin our adventure. Ease into the trip with a dip in the freshwater pool (which has near-unbeatable views of Sigiriya Rock) and relax in your spacious room with garden views.
Ella: Hotel Country Comfort (night 8)
Experience Sri Lankan hospitality with a stay at this traditional 20-room guesthouse, where the rooms are simple, and the welcome is warm. It has a 40-seat restaurant serving a mix of cuisines (specialising in traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry) and a bar with local and international drinks.
Yala: Chaarya Resort & Spa (nights 9-10)
Retreat into the wilderness at this four-star property close to Yala National Park, which has spacious chalet-style bedrooms with private balconies. Cool off in the pool, an oasis between the trees, or visit the spa for a welcome massage. The resort also has an al fresco and indoor restaurant serving international and local cuisines.
Ahangama: Insight Resort (nights 11-12)
Enjoy a spot on the beach, where it is possible to swim in the sea most of the time. Spacious rooms offer sea views and the quiet fishing village is an easy walk for those wishing to explore a local community.
Worth knowing
- Wifi is available at most accommodations, either in the rooms or the communal areas.
- Paying the single supplement may not mean you receive a double or twin room for sole use. The room you are allocated may differ from hotel to hotel, and on some nights a smaller room for ‘one person’ may be allocated.
- The Nuwara Eliya hotel (Araliya Red, nights 6-7) is a larger property than we would usually choose for our groups but has been selected for the central location, walking distance from the main town and swimming pool (which few hotels have in Nuwara Eliya), offering additional leisure options and ability to eat in local restaurants.

Reviews
Add your own reviewGreat scenery, brilliant guide and support staff
I’ve been on many Exodus trips and this ranks as one of the very best!
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling through rural communities in beautiful landscapes with the locals waving, smiling and shouting “hi”. I have never come across a more welcoming, friendly and smiling nation
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ruwan is a brilliant leader. His passion and knowledge about Sri Lankan history, culture, flora and fauna is extensive. He’s imparts this in an interesting and understandable way. His organisational skills are excellent and he communicates clearly the plans. On top of this he gave us so many extras - visits to local businesses eg coconut coir producer, curd factory and we had a cookery lesson one evening from a local family. He really is the guide who keeps giving! On top of this he’s a really lovely person.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you’re not a strong cyclist and not on an e-bike, think carefully about what you do on the challenging day to Nuwara Eliya. I opted for the train ride but if I was doing it again I’d cycle and get on the bus when the going got too tough for me. Seats aren’t guaranteed on the train and it’s a long journey. We had an adventurous, interesting day on the train and the views are stunning but I wouldn’t repeat it.
Warm Weather and Warm Welcomes
Children (and many adults) universally waved and hollered hellos as we pedaled past–one man giving a few of us a Tour-de-France running push when he saw us struggling up a hill. We had a jam-packed schedule of riding, hiking, visiting temples, photographing elephants on a safari, getting a cooking demonstration (and recipes!), going on an epic train ride, swimming in the Indian Ocean, visiting a tea plantation and processing plant, seeing coconut husks turned into rope; taking tea, stopping for fresh pineapple, eating delicious Sri Lankan curries….it was an amazing adventure with really lovely, fun, game people.
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably finishing the punishing climb (7,200 ft over 45 miles) and getting a teary, heartfelt congratulations from our teammates--atop the climb and at the hotel (for those who took the train). Also, reuniting with three fellow travelers from a December 2023 Exodus trip (Vietnam), where we all met for the first time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suresh is an uncannily perceptive, creative, indefatigable guide. He picked up on our preferences and adjusted options to really optimize our experience. Great sense of humor, too. We had lots of laughs.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you're considering this trip but think it's too far to travel from the United States, just bite the bullet. It is far but doable. I arrived a day early, got a room close the airport to sleep, booked a taxi, and returned to the airport to the next day to meet with the group flight. The extra day added about $50 (room and transportation) to the trip for me and I was recovered from the voyage. Also, pack light! Only 1 suitcase. Bring some basics in a backpack you carry on so you can still bicycle and brush your teeth if your luggage gets lost or delayed (which has never happened to me, but just in case....). Consider a year-long membership for trip insurance instead of ad hoc coverage. That's what someone on our trip did--I'll check that option out for my next trip.

Fantastic trip
Brilliant mix of activity, history, wildlife, religion and culture.
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved I all
Thoughts on Group Leader
Amazing such a brilliant leader. I have nominated him for guide of the year. Out of my five exodus cycling holidays Wajee was head and shoulders above 3 of the others. Wajee was super informative about every aspect of the trip wildlife, history, religion, wildlife, culture, food, cycling. He went out of his way to secure me a train ticket from Kandy and also gave up his day off to take us to botanic gardens. Thank you Wajee.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do this holiday absolutely fantastic such a good mix and no boring down time! Don’t expect Ella to be nice but it’s worth going there for the ride the next day. If you don’t fancy a busy long hill ride do the train from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. Due to physical Limitations I got the train and so glad I did, stunning views and i got the sense form the rest of the group the ride wasn’t super enjoyable. Although this trip says back roads it is actually on quite busy roads in places, doesn’t bother me but if you are a nervous rider it’s probably not for you. Food is excellent I’m vegetarian and only exodus’s holiday when I have actually enjoyed the food. Lots of buffets so something to choose for everyone. Also take some small Binoculars you ca. carry on bike as great wildlife to spot. Some other travellers arrived a few days early and did some safari days near Sigiriya. I wish we had so consider it. The safari at Yala was good but I was uncomfortable with the number of vehicles and the way they interacted with animals.
Great way to see Sri Lanka
This is a great holiday to see some key attractions of Sri Lanka and enjoy cycling through the landscapes and small villages.
Most Inspirational Moment
The visit and climb up Sirgirya Rock is very memorable and a great introduction to Sri Lanka
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suresh was excellent, and its quick to understand why he is an award winning leader and in the Hall of Fame. He is very friendly and fun. He kept us informed of the days activities and looked after us on the road. Some cycling was curtailed by bad weather but he organised alternative places to visit which was much appreciated.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Check the weather before travelling and be prepared for rain. I hired the electric bike which as a weaker cyclist was great as I was able to keep up with everyone and enjoying the countryside.
A bit of everything.
This trip was on the whole a very balanced experience. There was plenty of cycling combined with a wide range of cultural activities and enough free time to explore on one’s own. Hotels were all very comfortable. The people were welcoming and friendly and we came away with an impression of a country with plenty to offer. However, to call this trips “back roads” cycling is rather generous. There were plenty of days where cycling was in high traffic conditions and inhaling diesel fumes and pollution was rather unpleasant. Some of the roads were bumpy and dangerous.The cycling on the country roads was delightful. The support team was always on hand to make sure every aspect of the trip went smoothly.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many to mention, most of which involved having tea and snacks or meals with local residents, all of whom offered an insight into their daily life.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ruwan was one of the most competent guides we've ever had. His knowledge of everything related to his country is second to none. He treated all group members as individuals. His organisation and attention to detail were faultless. He went beyond the call of duty on many occasions.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Think of bringing a bandanna to cover your mouth when cycling in high traffic conditions as the back roads are probably only about 40% of the trip. Think of taking the train from Kandy on the challenging cycling day as it is a really worthwhile and interesting experience. Be prepared to eat spicy foods every day and at every meal.
Beautiful country - highly recommend this trip.
A very diverse bunch of people came together to experience the classic ‘cultural triangle’ and much more – but in a more in-depth way. Apart from the lovely people we encountered on our travels, the wildlife was one of my favourite aspects. My absolute favourite moment was when a monkey dropped from a tree onto our ‘snacks’ table and made off with one of the spicy biscuits (good choice!) – chaos/hilarity ensued!
Some of the riding days were tough – I hadn’t got as much training in as I had planned – but the back-up crew were always there to help! A few of the rides (particularly the big one) are on busy roads so would recommend a ‘commuter mask’ if your lungs are sensitive. The fumes from the buses can get a bit much. Although the people travelling on them, hanging out the doors and windows shouting encouragement, almost made up for it!
Most Inspirational Moment
I'd have to agree with other reviews that it was the kids. So happy and engaging - so many high fives - which were sorely needed on the big climbs!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ruwan was fabulous - extremely knowledgeable and adaptable to the preferences of the group. Lovely, lovely person - as were the rest of the hardworking team!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do the 'optional ride' on the last cycling day. We stopped to see a couple of local industries (making rope from coconut husks; cinnamon) cycled past some beautiful scenery on quiet back roads, and stopped for 'tea' (or coffee for some of us) in a historic home turned guest house - perfect way to end the cycling leg of our trip. We travelled up to Kappalady after the tour (3.5 hours in a taxi) for some kite surfing for a few days. We stayed at MoJo Stay - newly opened (we were their first paying guests!) and a little touch of paradise! Properly off the beaten track in a little village where we were treated to a coconut drink by a local farmer and bought some bracelets off the neighbours kids (very enterprising!). If staying in Negombo before/after your flight - highly recommend Swanee Grand - another absolutely stunning historic home turned hotel!
Bucket List Experience
This trip is utterly amazing on every level and most importantly, it provides an immersive experience in the very best Sri Lanka has to offer.
Most Inspirational Moment
The thrill of climbing and descending through the tea plantation highlands was extraordinary.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suresh was THE most professional, personable and attentive guide we have ever had on a dozen previous adventures.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you want to be exposed to everything this country has to offer then - book it and go.
Once in a lifetime experience with the best guides and people!
I found Sri Lanka to be an incredibly stunning country. We all felt we got to see so much of it whilst getting an authentic feel to the local way of life through seeing it on a saddle. The itinerary is very well designed, as well as all the cycling we got to climb Lions Rock in Sigiriya, visit spice gardens and ancient ruins in the lowlands, walk through botanical gardens in Kandy, see some of the most beautiful views in Ella and got to relax on the beach, swimming in the Indian Ocean after 9 days of cycling. Being a relatively inexperienced cyclist, I did find some of the cycles challenging yet incredibly rewarding. With the cycling, culture, wildlife, food, lovely accommodation and group you’ll share the trip with, this was an incredible way to experience the best of Sri Lanka!
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to choose just one but have to say ascending the final 20km to Nuwara Eliya! This was the final leg of the day and was a long ascent up the mountain. We were made very aware this would be a challenge and although you are surrounded my spectacular mountain scenery, you'll mostly be looking at the road in front of you that you're trying to summit! The guide and his support team were a fantastic help and if you couldn't make it to the top, the option was there to jump in the van if needed. Reaching the top though felt like an incredible achievement, there were lots of high fives between the group and everybody felt very proud of what they'd just managed to complete. It really brought us together as a group!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suresh as a leader was outstanding. He's been running this trip for 16 years and you can really tell! Working with his support team (Bus driver, bus assistant, support van driver, cycle assistant) you really feel like you're in good hands. They were driving ahead of us, ready with snacks and cut fresh fruit for our cycle breaks. They would also be stopping traffic whenever we came up to a T junction to make sure we crossed the road safely. One guest got a puncture and the support driver and cycle assistant changed her tyre and had her back on the road within two minutes! Suresh himself was totally in control of the whole trip and had a great sense of humour. Every meal we had he would say, 'we now go to the buffet, we make maximum damage!' With Suresh and his team, they made the difficult look easy, making the trip run like clockwork and we felt as if we didn't have a minute wasted.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would get some time in the saddle before you go and practice ascending steeper hills where possible. The cycle support team on the trip do a great job but some of the ascents and distances can be challenging, especially if its hot. E-bikes are available if you want to make the cycling easier, and we did have the support bus there at all times that you can jump into if it becomes too challenging.
Amazing Holiday Experience
A wonderful two-week journal through a very beautiful country. At times the rides were strenuous. The accommodations and food were excellent. The Sri Lankan group leader, Suresh, is the absolute best.
Most Inspirational Moment
It's hard to pick just one. The completion of the long ascent into Nuwara Eliya stands out. The view from Little Adam's Peak in Ella is another. Also, the final ride through lush tropical vegetation around Koggala Lake, with a stop to see how cinnamon is made and a tea stop at a beautiful family home is a third.
Thoughts on Group Leader
In my opinion, the excellent quality of this holiday was substantially due to the expertise and local knowledge of our group leader, Suresh.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Positives (in no particular order): A beautiful country with stunning tropical scenery. Welcoming and warm people who are quick to smile. We were regularly greeted by friendly and curious people along our rides, especially children. Delicious food. The local curries were very flavorful, with fresh and healthy ingredients, including fresh spices. The long ascent to Nuwara Eliya was the most difficult ride, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment at the top. There were eleven of us on this particular holiday, and we bonded quickly. I can not think of a better group of people to spend two weeks with. Our guide, Suresh, is the absolute best. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the country. He has curated much of what is included on this holiday. He knows the best riding routes, tea shops, restaurants, lodging, as well as places to stop for animals or scenery. Negatives (In no particular order): Don’t expect to lose weight (see comment about food, above). On the rides to Nuwara Eliya and Ella we experienced considerable traffic, with accompanying noise and pollution. The lorries and buses were the worst, belching out thick clouds of diesel exhaust. The weather was humid and mostly warm/hot, making riding at times uncomfortable. The bikes were equipped with road style tires. There was gravel and loose dirt on the first couple of days, and these tires made riding more difficult.
