Overview

1,000 km · 7 riding days · around 10,600 m of climbing · dates on request

Ride 1,000 km from Point Pedro to Dondra Head on our Sri Lanka road cycling tour. 7 riding days, 4* luxury accomodation, half board, full vehicle support.

Fast, flat coastal days through the Tamil north and across the ancient dry zone and Cultural Triangle give way to two huge days in the hill country, climbing into tea country above 2,000 m, before a final run down to the southern coast and the lighthouse at Dondra Head.

It’s a big challenge for strong, experienced road riders who want to see a side of Sri Lanka few visitors ever reach.

Yak Attack 2026 Wir haben mit Mtb worldwide bei dem Radrennen Yak Attack 2026 mitgemacht. Es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis und das Highlight war die Überquerung des Thorong La Passes. Trotz der widrigen Umstände und teilweise fehlenden Infrastruktur hat es das Team geschafft eine einwandfreie Logistik sicherzustellen, inklusive Radservice. Die Routen für das Rennen waren stets gut erkennbar markiert. Neben dem Rennen war das Team immer hilfsbereit und für uns ansprechbar. An dieser Stelle nochmal ein sehr sehr grosses Dankeschön an das Team! Neben dem Radfahren haben wir auch eine gute Community gebildet und Freundschaften geschlossen. Ein tolles Erlebnis!

Sri Lanka cycling trip with MBW 6 days of cycling in the sun of Sri Lanka, staying in the best hotels on the island. What’s not to like? The organisation by Sri Lankan airlines and Mountain Biking Worldwide was excellent with a welcome reception on the first day, an afternoon tea and a closing ceremony to round things off. On the rides we had 6 motorcycle outriders who held up traffic at the few major roads we had to cross and generally made sure the whole group was safe. There were feed stations about every 30km to keep you hydrated and fed. I’ll definitely be going back and recommend this trip to any cyclists out there.

Ride Sri Lankan 2026 - a memorable cycling experience Fantastic variety of cycling routes with really interesting locally catered feed stops made for a really great cycling trip. Combined with luxurious hotels, optional excusions and activities which allowed more insight to Sri Lanka resulted in a truly wonderful holiday. First holiday with Mtb worldwide - thoroughly recommend them, they are brilliant at what they do.

Ride SriLankan 2026 First time cycling outside the UK and first experience of an organised bicycle tour. Organisation was first class, most routes were challenging but interesting and enjoyable. Overnight accommodation and food were first class. Food and hydration stops during the day were well planned and well stocked.

Luxury gravel cycling done right in Sri Lanka 🚴‍♂️🌴 We’ve just come back from a luxury cycling tour of Sri Lanka with Multi Terrain Biking, and honestly, it was a pretty special experience. The whole trip was incredibly well put together, hotels were consistently excellent, food was great throughout, and the level of service really stood out. Logistics ran smoothly from start to finish, and having a medical team there gave real peace of mind without ever feeling intrusive. Big shoutout to Corinne, Ajay and Phil, they absolutely made the trip. Super knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about what they do. My wife Fiona and I did this as our honeymoon, and it struck a really nice balance between proper riding and genuine luxury. You’d finish a ride and be straight into a great hotel, good food, and time to properly relax. If I’m being picky, I’d have loved a bit more gravel, but appreciate there are always constraints with routes, safety, and the wider group. Worth noting on the group, we’re in our 30s and there were around 10 others similar age, but the majority were more in the 50–60 range. Maybe 20–25% female. Not a negative, just useful context depending on what you’re expecting. Overall, a really memorable trip and one we’d absolutely recommend.

The best of Ride Sri Lanka First time on an international cycling tour didn’t now what expect but seriously it was the best cycling tour I’ve been on, from start to finish the level of service was excellent. The routes by the route master Phil Evans were just amazing everyday was different and exciting. The briefing and taking care of all our needs was brilliantly done by Wonder Woman Corinne Evans. I went for a cycling tour fell in love with Sri Lanka and the people. Oh before I forget to mention the most calm mechanic Ajay who was totally hands on. A big Thank you to the whole team. Love you guys , Raj Savani.

1st rate experience and support from MTB We have just returned from our 2nd Ride Sri Lanka gravel bike tour led by Multi Terrain Biking. Both of these tours were an amazing experience on many levels. The rides that Phil from MTB created and proof rode just before we started showed the commitment by him to make sure the route was the best it could be and safest also. No detail was left to chance by the brilliant organisation by Corinne from MTB and supported by a dedicated team on the ground in Sri Lanka. From the moment we made our commitment to sign up and to the final checks before we departed to fly home they were with us all the way. Everything in-between ran so smoothly which when you are managing around 100 cyclists and companions is by no means an easy task. Detailed daily briefings covering safety, distance options, route support and if needed mechanical support as well. Their enthusiasm for Sri Lanka certainly has rubbed off on me!

Highly Recommend it, Great fun laughter , seeing this beautiful country Sri anka Just back from our 1st tour with MTB. So well worth it . Great think to do as couples or family. One does cycling and other does touring as Companions or do both. I got to hand it to then it was so well organised with hotels, foods, do to little thing for both riders and Companion, would mend over back words for anything or anyone. Never saw anything like this, If you into to cycling or sight seeing then this trip you must do at least ones in your life. What lovely place to do in Sri Lanka. I have fallen in love with is country. Have made new friends and had great laughter, fun as Companions and rider. Corinne and every ones from Sri Lanka Airlines was amazing, Got to hand it to them all with hand of applause. Will be think of doing again for such. Thank you for give us lovely experience something we never expected MTB.

Highly Recommended Tour 👌🏻👌🏻 Me and my partner loved our experience of the Ride Sri Lanka tour! So much so, we are definitely planning on returning for the 2027 event. Hotel options, food options and route options were fantastic with everything meticulously planned behind the scenes by Phil and Ajay. Up front, with a friendly smile, Corrine was always on hand and happy to help too! A perfect collaboration between MTB and Sri Lankan Airlines.
