Hiking on Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail
It was a really great and often physically challenging experience, I enjoyed it immensely. Most of the days were very long with no relaxation time, much of this was down to the itinerary changes because the trains were out of action. Some of it was also due to a small number of slow walkers, but I guess you never know who you are going to get.
The tour guide Praphat Jayasinghe was excellent. He had excellent English, was friendly, organised and very knowledgeable. It was the first time the trip had been run plus there were some changes to the itinerary due to the recent cyclone, however everything ran smoothly. His expertise was obvious and we were fortunate to have him as our guide.

I loved the holiday and that it allowed me to travel to places I would not have been able to go to on my own.

Adams Peak, felt adventurous and exciting, even though it was so crowded at the top. Tiny events along the trail - being invited to see a Hindu wedding and our guide giving us the flexibility and time to briefly become involved, seeing birds, interacting with locals.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I have already nominated him for the group leader award on the website, he was amazing: curious, kind, funny, flexible and adaptable to our needs, listened to what we liked and what we didn’t like.

This was my first trip with Exodus but it won’t be my last. The trip was wonderful, well organized with excellent support. Felt I got great quality for the cost.

Hiking through the beautiful and varied countryside of Sri Lanka. Hearing about the history and culture, seeing and interacting with the local people. The food was great too!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mak is an engaging, professional, enthusiastic and knowledgable leader. Our needs and comfort were always a priority. You can have a great itinerary but without a Mak in charge it’s just a hike. He is terrific.

The tour leader Mak was absolutely brilliant. He made the holiday and his local knowledge was invaluable. He was very organised, a great communicator and he went the extra mile to make our trip memorable. The bus driver and his assistant were also excellent. A great team who looked after us extremely well, thank you.

Everything was perfect about this trip. Hicham was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable and understood the group dynamics perfectly. Hotels were excellent, locations and trips were fantastic. Our driver Said was great and extremely helpful. I have already recommended the trip to my friends down the gym.

Miguel is fantastically knowledgeable about the wildlife, especially birds. He also gave lots of info about the history and culture of his country. He had to deal with some difficulties in the group which was very stressful for him but he was patient and kind throughout.

Visiting the elephant orphanage and going on safari to see elephants in the their natural habitat. Also visiting villages and interacting with local people. Discovering the history and culture of Sri Lanka.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Parthap was an exceptional guide from beginning to end. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his country and went over and above to ensure that all members of the group fully enjoyed their experience of Sri Lanka. Parthap was always available to answer questions, give advice on things to do during any free time and his command of English made it easy for everyone to understand. His management of the tour ensured that we were able to relax and enjoy the whole experience knowing that we were in safe hands. We feel that he is an asset to Exodus.
Discover Sri Lanka
Good balance of activities. Some earlier starts balanced by some earlier finishes. We benefitted by using Open Street Map app which encouraged Doug and I to explore around hotels when we didn’t want to “relax by the pool”. In Nuwara Eliya the wlk up One Tree Mountain behind the hotel and the temple you see on the way particularly reccommended. Maybe it would be useful to other guests to suggest this or provide a map? Loved the lunch stops eg under the banyan tree and the Yummy Hotel.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many! Dambulla cave temples, Sigiriya Rock, Polonnaruwa. Elephants - both on the safari and the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home. The birds seen on walks and cycle rides. Lunches under Banyan Tree, and Yummy Hotel and the other 2 family restaurants Roshan took us to near Polonnaruwa and in Kandy.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roshan was friendly, approachable and generous with his time. He was very knowledgeable, pointing out plants, birds etc whenever on walks and cycles. On longer bus journeys he gave very well-prepared and interesting talks on Sri Lankan history, politics, social customs, water management and was very willing to take questions. He kept everything running smoothly and apparently effortlessly.
Colours of Rajasthan
The trip was seamless, apart from immigration at Delhi which was my fault. Ajay, our guide, was superb and we saw everything on the itinerary.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Taj Mahal, the elephants at the rescue centre, Jaipur but more importantly the company and camaraderie.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ajay was passionate about his country and about delivering the best experience for his clients. His English was excellent as proved by his sense of humour. We felt safe with him, nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best trip. It was my first time travelling with a group and he made sure all the singles were included and made us bond as a team. He was an excellent advocate for Exodus.
