Arrive in Sri Lanka and make your way towards Negombo. Settle in, shake off the journey and enjoy a relaxed introduction to the island before the adventure begins in earnest.
Travel towards Sigiriya through changing countryside and rural landscapes. Along the way, discover a quieter side of Sri Lanka before settling into the Cultural Triangle.
Start early and climb the magnificent Sigiriya Rock Fortress, where ancient ruins and sweeping views await at the summit. Later, explore the surrounding countryside by bicycle or enjoy a village experience away from the busier trails.
Leave the ancient plains behind and journey towards the Knuckles Mountain Range. Watch the landscape transform into rolling hills, forests and mist-covered peaks as you enter one of Sri Lanka's most beautiful trekking regions.
Lace up your hiking boots and head into the Knuckles. Follow mountain trails through forests, small villages and open viewpoints, stopping along the way to appreciate a landscape that rewards every extra step.
Journey towards Kitulgala, where thick tropical greenery surrounds the Kelani River. Spend the afternoon exploring the rainforest surroundings or simply recharge beside the river before tomorrow's challenge.
Get ready to get wet. Take on an exciting white-water rafting experience along the Kelani River before enjoying selected outdoor adventures such as canyoning, waterfall exploration or rainforest walks.
Leave the rainforest behind and climb towards Nuwara Eliya. Journey through tea-covered hills, waterfalls and cool mountain landscapes, with opportunities to discover Sri Lanka's famous tea country along the way.
Continue towards Ella through the heart of the highlands. Where possible, experience part of Sri Lanka's celebrated hill-country railway journey, passing tea estates, mountain valleys and misty forests before reaching laid-back Ella.
Spend the day exploring Ella on foot. Walk towards the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, climb Little Adam's Peak and discover waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints hidden among the surrounding hills.
Descend from the highlands towards Udawalawe, watching the cool mountain scenery gradually give way to open plains. Later, head into Udawalawe National Park by safari jeep in search of elephants, buffalo, deer, birdlife and other wildlife.
Continue towards Sri Lanka's southern coastline and settle around Weligama or Mirissa. Swap mountain trails for ocean waves with a seasonal activity such as surfing, kayaking or another coastal adventure. Afterwards, slow things down with some well-earned time beside the sea.
Follow the coast towards historic Galle, stopping to explore the atmospheric streets and ramparts of Galle Fort. Take in the ocean views, colonial architecture and colourful streets before bringing your Ceylon adventure to a close.
Take on the ultimate Sri Lankan adventure with an action-packed journey through mountains, forests, rivers, and spectacular landscapes. Experience thrilling activities, explore hidden gems, and discover the adventurous side of Ceylon.
