Unlock the ancient wonders of the 'Teardrop of India' with the "Sri Lanka Heritage by Bicycle" tour, a 7-day guided cycling journey from Negombo to Colombo. This trip is a cultural tapestry woven from the influences of Buddhism, Hinduism, and centuries of colonial rule, revealing Sri Lanka’s timeless spirit at every turn.
Pedal through the UNESCO-listed old town of Kandy, marvel at the Temple of the Tooth, and soak in the peaceful beauty of lakefront views. Cycle onward to the dramatic caves and statues of Dambulla’s Golden Temple, then catch sight of the iconic Sigiriya rock fortress—an enduring symbol of the island’s ancient ingenuity. Climb to the summit for panoramic vistas, then walk through one of the world’s oldest landscaped gardens.
The journey continues with a wildlife jeep safari in Minneriya National Park, where elephants roam freely, before visiting the immense ruins of Polonnaruwa, a former capital hidden in the jungle for centuries. The adventure concludes at Anuradhapura, a spiritual and historic gem filled with palaces, monasteries, and Buddhist shrines.
This bicycle trip is perfect for those looking to delve deep into Sri Lanka’s storied past, blending active exploration with fascinating heritage. The unique selling point: visiting five UNESCO World Heritage sites by bike, offering a grassroots perspective of Sri Lanka’s living history.
