Luxury Tour in Sri Lanka

This morning, we set off southwards to the Knuckles Mountain Range. We make our first stop in Dambulla to admire the imposing golden Buddha overlooking the temple. Then we ride along a pretty little track between hundreds of rice paddies and irrigation canals, before the Knuckles Range appears on the horizon. We take a fantastic mountain road with wonderful views to reach our home for the night.

In the morning you explore the superb Knuckles mountain region, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Then we're back on the road to Kandy, where we’ll find busy city life again. We settle in at the hotel, and then late in the afternoon we can take advantage of the ceremony to visit the Temple of the Tooth, named after a famous holy relic housed there.

We make our way up into the heart of the tea region on a beautiful winding road. We pass the impressive Ramboda waterfall amidst stunning landscapes of rolling hills blanketed in tea plantations. We spot Pidurutalagala in the distance, the country’s highest peak, surrounded by vast forests. The air grows cooler as we climb, reaching almost 2,000 m altitude.

We take many hairpin bends and we’re not going to be alone on the road. Pioneers really made their mark on the landscape when they planted the first tea plantations! After settling in at the hotel, you can stretch your legs and take a walk up to the top of Little Adam’s Peak, an easy walk through a tea plantation, or simply admire the Ella Gap, the vertiginous fault that marks Ella’s landscape.

Today we ride towards the south coast. We make a short detour to Buduruwagala where we’ll see seven colossal Buddha statues carved into the rock. We continue southbound along a wonderful country road to the edge of Yala National Park, one of the country's largest. We check in to the hotel and leave the Royal Enfields for an afternoon jeep safari. Yala reserve is known for the diverse animal species that live there.

Make the most of your last day in the saddle! We set off west, along the south coast. We ride along the boundary of Bundala National Park, whose lagoons host thousands of birds. We arrive in Tangalle, where the coconut-lined beaches compete for attention and Dondra’s octagonal lighthouse marks the island’s southernmost point.

This morning, you travel by private vehicle to the airport, along the south coast. Now you’re not behind the steering wheel, you can really appreciate the views as we pass Weligama’s beautiful bay with colourful bobbing boats and fishermen perched on stilts. Important: Make sure that you book a late evening or night flight (after 7 pm).
