A glimpse of the route
Good to know
Questions before the road.
Yes. Every route is a starting point. We adjust the pace, hotels, activities and number of nights around you before anything is confirmed.
Yes. Your air-conditioned car or van and English-speaking driver-guide are private to your party for the road journey.
Sri Lanka works year-round if the route follows the seasons. The south-west is usually driest from December to April; the east is strongest from May to September. We will advise for your exact dates.
Three to six months is comfortable, especially for Christmas, February and August. Last-minute journeys are often possible, but the most characterful small stays fill first.
A deposit secures the confirmed hotels and services. The amount and cancellation terms will be clear in your personal proposal before you commit.
