Day 0 – Arrival in Colombo | Pre-Tour Briefing

 

Welcome to Sri Lanka!

Your tour begins with a warm island welcome in Negombo. Settle in, unwind by the coast, and meet your crew for the bike fit and pre-tour briefing.

This is where the excitement begins — new roads, new stories, and an adventure waiting to unfold.

Day 1 – Negombo → Anuradhapura

Ride: 80 km | Elevation: 300 m | Drive: 2 hrs

 

Your first ride is a beautiful warm-up along the coastal stretch — fishing villages, palm-dotted lanes, and the salty breeze guiding you all the way to Madurankuli. From here, we transfer to the ancient kingdom of Anuradhapura, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

Evening:

 

• Guided exploration of the sacred ancient city by bus

A perfect start — a blend of coastal charm and historical grandeur.

Day 2 – Anuradhapura → Sigiriya

Ride: 80 km | Elevation: 300 m | Drive: 30 mins

 

Today is a pure cyclist’s delight — long stretches of gravel and canal-side paths surrounded by lush paddy fields.

This is rural Sri Lanka at its best: calm, green, authentic.

 

Arrive in Sigiriya and prepare for the highlight of the evening —

Climb the iconic Lion Rock for the sunset.
