We had the most fantastic cycling trip around Sri Lanka recently. Everything went to plan from the meet at the airport to the departure 2 weeks later. Each days cycling offered new experiences & sights - the scenery & wildlife was as varied and stunning as you could wish for. The hotels were of a very good quality & the food throughout the trip was both plentiful and of a high quality. We ate at some fantastic local restaurants which offered a real insight into the fantastic Sri Lankan cuisine. Our group gelled from Day 1 and this really helped make the trip memorable. The cycling was incredibly enjoyable and whilst stretching on a couple of days most reasonably fit people would easily cope with each days cycling. Our group leader Suresh was the most inspirational guide a group could wish for - extremely organised, very funny and used his extensive local knowledge to make the trip highly enjoyable. His support team were excellent providing back up bikes, food/water, transport & guidance - real unsung heroes. This was our first cycling holiday - would we recommend this trip - undoubtedly & we are planning our next one for 2024. The phrase Maximum Damage was used extensively by our excellent guide Suresh when we sat down to a buffet !
We really enjoyed our trip and can wholeheartedly recommend Sri Lanka, your travel agency and well as Chanaka Baddewithana. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We already look forward to returning to Sri Lanka!
Walking and cultural experience in Sri Lanka This was a wonderful trip with an excellent guide
Neelanka made this an amazing trip
His English and knowledge of nature and local culture was very good
His efficiency in allocating room keys was one of the best - very important after a long drive
We did not need to touch our luggage from exiting the airport to arriving back
Our strap broke and within half an hour it was repaired!!!!
Water was freely available from large containers that we could fill our reusable bottles or containers and complimentary
Sigiriya and the Lion Rock Fortress was an amazing visit
Unfortunately we did not get to the summit of Adams Peak due to the masses of mainly local people. However I did feel the experience was something like I have experienced before with family carrying the frail and old, babies being carried and some only in flip flops or barefeet
Leech socks used and needed
