Description
Enjoy the shorter version of our original Sri Lanka motorcycle tour! We will take you through the central and southern parts of the country and ensure you get a good taste of Sri Lanka
Day 1: Arrival - Colombo/Negombo
Depending on your flight, you will arrive at the airport of Colombo in the morning or afternoon. The ride to the hotel in the center of Negombo is about 20 minutes. In the late afternoon the motorbikes get delivered at the hotel, and you will meet the driver and the mechanic then too.
Day 2: Negombo - Kalpitiya (Puttalam Lagoon)
Once we leave busy Negombo the road soon becomes quiet, especially when we turn off the main road and take a secondary road. For a while we ride along the coast where there are many shrimp farms. We pass through an oasis of palm tree plantations and continue our ride on an unpaved road north towards Kalpitiya.
Day 3: Kalpitiya - Dambulla
Today we are going inland. Soon we exchange the main road for small minor roads, the quality of which is immediately a lot less and is partly unpaved.
Day 4: Dambulla - Kandy
The day begins with a ride along the large Parakrama Samudra lake. We ride further via various villages towards Knuckles Forest Reserve. We follow an old road and climb and stop several times along the way to enjoy the view.
Day 5: Kandy - Nuwara Eliya
From Kandy we start following the main road to enjoy the busy traffic with its many smelly old buses. As we get farther away it becomes quieter, and after navigating 18 hairpin bends, we venture off and once again ride relaxed on small roads surrounded by paddy fields.
Day 6: Nuwara Eliya - Ella
We leave Nuwara Eliya to quickly leave the main road and go back to enjoying the many tea plantations with breathtaking views. While climbing, the road gets worse and narrower.
Day 7: Ella - Udawalawa
After breakfast we head south. First, we ride peacefully through the mountains following a small road untill we arrive on the main road. In Lunugamvehera National Park elephants can cross the road all of a sudden.
Day 8: Udawalawa - Negombo
We leave the south coast behind us and head towards the northwest, back into the mountains. Soon while climbing we pass tea plantations.

Today a cab brings you back to the airport in Colombo for your flight back home.
