This trip was full of adventures and activity. We tasted and explored a wide variety of Sri Lankan culture. Riding was challenging but adjusted suitably to the group. It is recommended to adequately train for long days on the bike. Fun off-road experiences along rice paddies and small villages. Opportunity to sample many fruits for bike snacks. Sri Lanka is new to the tour industry and fascinating for just that reason. Very lovely people. Dumballas caves were outstanding to experience.

Great trip, particularly being on the backroads experiencing more of the local life. Equipment was in very good condition and staff and locals very friendly.
