Adventurous Sri Lanka is an exciting journey through Sri Lanka’s wonderful landscapes and will satisfy those wanting something more than just a beach holiday. Trek through mountainous villages, camp in the wilderness, climb a sacred mountain at night, raft down the white water rapids of the Kelani River, and challenge the waves of the Indian Ocean. Along the way, you will step into Sri Lanka’s ancient historical past; experience present day rural villages where life remains unhurried and people lead a balanced existence, and explore the jungles where herds of elephants roam free. Adventurous Sri Lanka is also ideal for families with older children who will enjoy all the fun-filled activities. As always, Red Dot is happy to tinker with this itinerary to suit your needs.
