Sri Lanka walking

Great trip, covering a lot of the best of Sri Lanka. Wholly recommend this trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sujee, was a perfect group leader in every possible way.

Fantastic trip - highly recommended

Great trip from start to finish showcasing lots of different parts of Sri Lanka. The hiking was great and really got you away from the tourist hot spots. Beautiful scenery up in the mountains and forests, tea plantations, lakes, waterfalls. It was more beautiful than I had imagined. Hotels were all of a good standard, several with pools. I would have preferred not to camp the one night but that is just me! I liked that there weren’t lots of long road journeys and the itinerary was well paced. Lots of opportunities to sample Sri Lankan food. Great wildlife and birds. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard but the safari would have been fun even if we hadn’t as there was still lots to see. Overall, a brilliant trip as you see and do so much in the 15 days.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard to pick one! Probably hiking in the Knuckles mountain range as you were truly away from other tourists.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sujee worked tirelessly to ensure we all had a great trip. Everything was very well organised and it was great to have the same driver and assistant for the entire trip. They also looked after us superbly. Always there with a smile, snacks and drinks on our return from a hike.

Walking the best of Sri Lanka

I have recently returned from the most incredible walking trip in Sri Lanka. The walks were very diverse, up mountains, through rainforests and around serene lakes. We also explored the cities, beaches and National Parks (where we were lucky enough to see a Leopard!). Our leader, Ruwan, was first class – he was very organised, friendly, told us interesting stories about the culture and history and took us to meet lots of local families, who were all lovely. I couldn’t speak of this trip more highly.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Adams Peak where we visiting the temple and watched the sun rise with all the locals, who also made the journey to the top.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was phenomenal!

Walking and cultural experience in Sri Lanka

This was a wonderful trip with an excellent guide
Neelanka made this an amazing trip
His English and knowledge of nature and local culture was very good
His efficiency in allocating room keys was one of the best – very important after a long drive
We did not need to touch our luggage from exiting the airport to arriving back
Our strap broke and within half an hour it was repaired!!!!
Water was freely available from large containers that we could fill our reusable bottles or containers and complimentary
Sigiriya and the Lion Rock Fortress was an amazing visit
Unfortunately we did not get to the summit of Adams Peak due to the masses of mainly local people. However I did feel the experience was something like I have experienced before with family carrying the frail and old, babies being carried and some only in flip flops or barefeet
Leech socks used and needed

Most Inspirational Moment

Lion Rock Fotress Adams Peak despite not getting to the summit Horton plains Lunch in a local restaurant and then in a local house

Thoughts on Group Leader

Neelanka is an excellent guide and one of the best we have had the opportunity to meet and have guide us

Advice for Potential Travellers

Leech socks Some long distances in varied transport if not a good traveller (not us) Be prepared to be sociable with other members of the group (this reall applies to all guided trips) Some compromise needed at times

A fantastic experience with a first class leader and exciting experiences

A first class holiday experience with all the hall marks we have come to love from Exodus holidays. An efficient engaged leader with a real love of his country and ability to show us so many insights into the nuances of Sri Lanka….. even though the weather was changeable we had a fantastic trip made up of interesting walks, wild life and getting to know the local culture and people of the highlands.

Sri Lanka Walking Tour

This was an amazing tour. It was very well organised. The walking was good. The countryside and people were fantastic and the guide himself was very personable and knowledgeable. It was totally enjoyable. I would recommend going up Adam’s peak on a Monday-Thursday evening to avoid the crowds, but that is the only thing I would have changed.

Most Inspirational Moment

Everything was good

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was born for a job of this type - friendly, funny and knowledgeable

Highlands of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a very beatiful island with loads of natural and cultural highlights,

The tour is descrfibed as walking and treking. If you read the detailed notes it’s fair to say that, yes there are walks, but nothing that I would describe as treking. The walks are comparatively gentle; the jungle walks a bit like Lakeland walks underfoot – but in forest. The climb up Adam’s Peak certainly got the heart pumping, although with the crowds of pilgrims all around there were plkenty of enforced spots where you rested.

There was a lot of travel time in vehicles. All as described in the trip details –

Most Inspirational Moment

Sigiriya was magnificent, beautiful, and unique in my experience. Well worth the well-protected stairs up the rock face to the top. The Adam's Peak pilgrimage to see the Buddha's footprint and sunrise from the summit was a great experience, being a fierce stairway climb shared with grannies who could scarcely move from one step to another, and younger aduklts carrying their babes in arms. Not your usual climb to a summit.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Neelaka, our group leader was excellent, as were his team. Neelaka had a great knowledge, particularly re wildlife. H ekpetr us well informed always with great charm and humour.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Look carefully at the details. But I'm glad we didn't. Coach tours are not usually our thing - but this one was excellent.

Varied and interesting trip

Well organised tour and great tour leader and with plenty of activities and reasonable accommodation. Offers lovely scenery and some challenging hikes, recommended!

Most Inspirational Moment

Hike up Adam's Peak

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you're fit!

Truly an incredible country

The trip was extremely well organised! The day walks were challenging but beautiful and climbing Adams Peak is a must! Our leader Ruwan was exceptional. He really helped us connect with the locals and showed us the culture of Sri Lankan villages. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is curious to see what Sri Lanka has to offer.

Most Inspirational Moment

To see how people can live a life so happily with so little. Sri Lanka peoplewere incredibly kind and generous to us throughout and really made you feel safe and welcomed into their home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely faultless. Ruwan went above and beyond for all of us and gave our group such a unique look into Sri Lanka. Outstanding! He is a true asset to your company.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for leeches in the knuckles mountain range. Although there isn’t much to fear. Try to be as open minded as possible! Try everything! Probably not a good country to choose if you don’t like a bit of spice in your food!
