About this trip
This 15-day trip through Sri Lanka mixes wildlife, mountains and rural life, built for travellers who want to get outdoors rather than just look at the scenery from a coach window.
Expect a good amount of walking and trekking, from the open grasslands of Horton Plains to the early-morning climb up Adam's Peak, alongside slower moments like a bull cart ride and a walk through a rural village.
A scenic train ride into the hill country adds another way to see the landscape, rounding out a trip that covers a lot of ground across the island.

- Trek across Horton Plains National Park
- Climb Adam's Peak (Sri Pada) for sunrise
- Take a bull cart ride through the countryside
- Walk through a rural Sri Lankan village
- Ride the train into the mountains
- Involves genuine trekking and hiking, including a pre-dawn climb up Adam's Peak, so some fitness helps
- Covers a wide mix of activities, from wildlife areas to village life, over 15 days
