Sri Lanka Wild Life And Nature

MOTORBIKES 
During this trip you ride on an Enduro 250cc. There is an option to ride a traditional Indian Royal Enfield.  

DIFFICULTY AND OFF-ROAD 
Often, we will be riding on unpaved roads or tracks. These are not very hard and can be done without any off-road experience. However, when the weather is bad the off-road path can be a bigger challenge. 

CLOTHING 
The following items are mandatory: helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, a good hard wearing (motorcycle) trousers with protection or separate knee protection and solid high (mountain) boots. In the lower areas it’s mostly warm with tropical temperatures, therefore we advise a summer motorcycle jacket. In the mountains it can be cold, especially on the Horton Plains. We therefore advise you to wear warm clothing under your motorcycle gear. Furthermore, a good pair of sunglasses is very important and a helmet with a visor which protects against dust. 

ACCOMMODATION 
Hotels and resorts on this tour are all securely selected - from basic guesthouses, bungalows and luxury resorts.
