A fabulous trip from start to finish. This was our sixth Exodus trip and easily one of the best. Everything was exceptionally well organised, with great attention to detail throughout. The cycling was fantastic, with good-quality bikes, smooth road surfaces, and excellent routes through small villages and towns. Our guide, Ruwan, was outstanding — enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and always able to guide all 16 of us calmly and seamlessly from place to place. Thanks to him, we truly felt immersed in Sri Lankan culture. His team — Oshitha, Pawan, Abey, and Chatu — looked after us incredibly well and consistently went above and beyond, from refilling our water bottles at every stop without us even needing to ask, to providing wet wipes at each snack stop. The accommodation was of a good standard throughout, and the food was varied and absolutely delicious. We went at the end of January which worked well weather wise – hot and dry.

Learning about Sri Lanka's history and culture was another highlight, with Ruwan bringing it all to life in an engaging and insightful way. The cycling was

Ruwan was exceptional. I cannot praise him highly enough. He and his team truly made the trip. He brought Sri Lanka's history, culture, and daily life to us in an engaging and insightful way, adding real depth to the experience. The cycling was expertly organised, with a mix of group rides and free riding that allowed everyone to cycle at their own pace while still keeping the group together, making it enjoyable for all abilities.
Sujee the tour leader was kind, responsive and dedicated to giving us the best experiences. The mixture of local communities and lovely hotels was essential in providing the best experiences.

Vinod was excellent, very knowledgeable and responsible making sure each of us had all we needed every day and often going the extra mile eg. Providing a helper as well as a driver to take us to the airport to ensure we could access the airport with their strict requirements. He could answer every question we asked about any topic.

The whole trip was a highlight. We were very lucky to have fantastic weather. Some snow to start then very cold but sunny conditions. The dog sledding was amazing, we really loved cross country skiing and the snow shoe trip to Risitunturi was out of this world. Our guide, Tuomas, was brilliant and the staff at Basecamp were great. Food exceeded expectations.

We couldn't have asked for a better guide that Tuomas. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, helpful, organised and gave confidence in the activities.
