Cycling in Sri Lanka is a fantastic way to discover the incredible depth behind this island nation’s tropical exterior. As you pedal along peaceful roads, you’ll see tea plantations rubbing shoulders with wild jungle, historic temples lying in stunning valleys, colourful birds sitting atop garden walls – around every corner is something new. With towering mountains, azure seas, postcard beaches and cloud forests, two-wheeling here is a magical experience. 


All the cycle routes in Sri Lanka will gently persuade you to ride further, to see what marvels are coming up next. Head to the heart of the island, just north of the mountains to see the Sigiriya fortress, a staggering blend of architecture and geology. Spin your wheels northwards to explore the farmland, paddies and plains, or explore the south, challenging yourself on the hills of Udawalawe National Park, where elephants roam. 


With gorgeous villages and plenty of tea stops, cycling adventures rarely get better than this.
