Overview

A bike tour in Sri Lanka is a kaleidoscope of images, experiences, and smells: tea plantations, cool highlands, ancient cities, and tropical beaches. The extraordinary flora and fauna highlight the diversity of this land, rich in history, religion, and culture. Once considered a lost paradise, the island was part of the hundreds of ancient trade routes, including the trade route for the coveted spices. The quiet back roads of this tear-drop-shaped island make it ideal for cycling. Beginning on the west coast, dotted with the sails of the local fishing boats, the route leads inland past a multitude of Buddhist and Hindu monuments. The tour includes ancient cities, wildlife safaris, and beautiful beaches.
