Sigiriya Tours in Fall

Absolutely wonderful trip. The country offers so much in the way of beautiful scenery and wildlife and so much better to be able to see it at your own pace on a bicycle. The standard of our accommodation was well above what we were expecting and the choice of food was exceptional - there was a great mix of both Sri Lankan and western food available most days, often via an an all-you-can-eat buffet. The entire trip was made so enjoyable because of the exceptional organisation and knowledge of our group leader Suresh helped by a great local support team.

We have done many Exodus cycling trips and this one was up there with the best, if not THE best. There are 4 different things we enjoy about these trips, and these vary depending on where we are - 1.The cycling 2.The country we are visiting 3.The food 4.The group of people you are with. Sri Lanka ticked all 4 boxes, The cycling was varied with easier days, and one extremely challenging day, but the scenery was spectacular with lush green vegetation, beautiful waterfalls and tea plantations up in the hills, temples and local villages. The food is to die for, simply delicious (as long as you like a bit of spice). Finally we were lucky enough to have a fantastic group of people, we had so much fun. The Sri Lankan people could not have been more welcoming, warm and friendly. I thought the accommodation was of a particularly high standard on this trip, lovely hotels, mostly with pools.

My husband and I have just returned from this experience and it was brilliant. From landing in Colombo to leaving 2 weeks later everything was well organized by this travel operator. It was a good value trip with lovely hotels/camp, a comfortable van with a lovely driver. All the connections were hassle-free and we were always treated with courtesy and care. The game drives were excellent, long days with lots of traveling over bumpy tracks but how else can you enjoy the thrill of seeing wild animals in their natural environments? We saw so many animals including a serval, 2 sloth bears, 4 leopards, and many herds of deer, water buffalo, a number of bird species, and elephant herds sweeping majestically across the plain. The whole trip exceeded our expectations.

Sri Lanka is a hugely varied and beautiful country with lots of wonderful wildlife. Be prepared for hot temperatures and long journeys in the minibus, but it’s all worth it. I enjoyed every place we visited and all the activities involved. and we stayed in beautiful accommodations. Lahiru was exceptional. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and efficient. He has a very palpable love for his country and that brushed up on me and everyone on the tour. I couldn’t recommend this local travel specialist more highly to anyone. Thank you so much and I can’t wait for my next one!

What an incredible adventure from start to finish. Our driver and guide Abey Waradhana went above and beyond making our trip both interesting (with his excellent knowledge) and enjoyable. He looked after us, never hurried us and escorted us everywhere, he even checked up on us after his part of the tour was over. We feel like we were there for months we packed so much in. The itinerary was intense but so worth it from the walks, the temples and the additional trips to Sigriya, the Temple of the tooth (highly recommend a night visit) and the safari. We have seen so many elephants, beautiful birds and other wildlife we couldnt have asked for more. The hotels have been of top quality and the food and staff incredible. We cannot recommend this trip more highly, great value for money and an experience to remember forever. Make sure you bring comfortable footwear and a brolley. Thanks once again Abey, youre a star.

A really enjoyable trip with a charismatic tour leader, and superb scenery, wildlife and food. The support team were great, always trying their best to look after you, and the driver had nerves of steel negotiating the chaotic traffic. Sri Lanka has emerged from some dark times, and is once again a terrific place to visit, with great variety and vibrancy and a lovely, friendly vibe. Plenty of smiles and high-fives as you ride through the landscape, shouts of “Bye!” Following you down the road.
