Cycle The Backroads Of Sri Lanka

Tripcode: MIR

Countries visited: Sri Lanka

Adult Group Holidays Moderate / Challenging Cycling Wildlife Wilderness Culture Premium Departure

Essential Information

Trip Profile

Average daily distance: 75km (47m)
No. of days cycling: 10 (including 1 optional ride)
Vehicle Support: 100%
Terrain and route: 95% tarmac, 5% unsurfaced road. Routes mostly follow quiet backroads with occasional unsurfaced roads.  There are frequent climbs particularly around Nuwara Eliya and the hill country, but the support vehicle is available if required.

Accommodation

11 nights hotels, 2 nights guesthouses, all en suite. A mixture of comfortable hotels with pools and 1- or 2-star hotels. Guesthouses are simple but in good locations along the cycle route, giving a real flavour of the country.

Food

13 breakfasts and 10 lunches included.

Reality Check

Rides are designed to run door-to-door without transfers. Keeping to the backroads means that there is less traffic but it will become busier when approaching towns.

Please see the introductory pages of the Cycling Brochure for more important information on classification and grading.

Normal group size and age

Normally 6 to 16, plus leader and driver. Minimum age 16.

Icons explained

Adult Group Holidays The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together. All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please see our Solo Departures page.


Moderate / Challenging In order to provide a more accurate cycle holiday grading system, where a cycling trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate or split grade, for example Moderate/Challenging. Clearly, conditions may differ from region-to-region or month-to-month and as such the information given on these pages is designed to act as a guide to your cycling holiday only. In all cases you should refer to the Trip Notes for further details.


Cycling Cycling: Our cycling holidays come in all shapes and sizes; from gentle self-guided trips in the Veneto, to tackling the High Atlas in Morocco, or exploring the length of Vietnam.


Wildlife Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.


Wilderness Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.


Culture Culture: Let Exodus show you a different side to many of the world's greatest cultural attractions.


Premium Departure Certain departures of this trip are marked in our brochures and online as Premium Departures labelled with Premium Departure against the specific date. On these departures some elements of the trip have been changed to provide more comfort - this will generally mean we have raised the standard of hotels or switched from camping to comfortable lodges, but it may also include other changes, for example, where a long train journey has been replaced by an internal flight. Specific details about what elements of the trip have been changed can be found in the relevant sections of the Trip Notes.
