Cycling

Sri Lanka's first capital, a city of monasteries and enormous brick stupas that was the centre of the Buddhist world for more than a thousand years – and the hill where Buddhism arrived on the island.

The best-preserved ancient city in Sri Lanka, seen the way it should be – on a bicycle, on flat shaded lanes between the monuments, at your own pace.

For travellers who want to earn their views. Cycle to Polonnaruwa, trek the wild Knuckles Range, raft Kitulgala's rapids, climb Adam's Peak by night with the pilgrims, hike Ella Rock and finish with a leopard safari in Yala.

Sri Lanka has eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and five of them are on this tour. Travel through 2,500 years of history: the sacred city of Anuradhapura, Mihintale where Buddhism arrived, the palace in the sky at Sigiriya, the medieval capital of Polonnaruwa, the Dambulla caves and the royal city of Kandy.
