Days 1-2 Sigiriya
Get warmed up with a cycle down the narrow and often-deserted roads surrounding Sigiriya. Delve into the 3rd-century caves at Dambulla, home to dozens of Buddhist statues and a monastery tucked inside the cliff face. Then, climb to the summit of Sigiriya to admire the intricate frescoes painted onto the rock face and take in superb 360-degree views.

Day 3 Polonnaruwa
Relish the peaceful backroads of the Sigiriya Nature Reserve before hitting the highway to Polonnaruwa. Perhaps refresh with a swim in the pool before checking out some 10th-century ruins.

Day 4 Matale Region
Cycle through canals before stop for lunch alongside the Amban Ganga River. In the afternoon, embark on a breathtaking ride with the Kalanduwa hills on one side and the borders of Wasgomuwa Wildlife Park on the other. Refuel with a hearty home-cooked curry served in traditional clay pots.

Days 5-6 Kandy
The going starts to get harder as the tour winds up into hill country. Upon arrival in Kandy, spend a free afternoon perusing the spice markets and local sights, perhaps visiting the famous Temple of the Tooth.

Day 7 Nuwara Eliya
Get set for a tough day in the saddle or, choose to relax aboard the train. Take in views of terraced paddy fields while sipping on fragrant, locally grown tea.

Day 8 Ella
In the morning, take an optional excursion to the sweeping Horton Plains. Then, cycle to Ella, stopping along the way for lunch and tea breaks and local eateries. Watch an ochre sunset from the view point at Ella Gap.

Days 9-10 Tissamharama/Yala National Park
After an exhilarating descent on two wheels, stop to inspect the impressive Buddha statues at Buduruvagala, nestled amid a peaceful lakeside setting. Try to spot leopards in the belly of Yala National Park and absorb the colourful atmosphere of ancient Kataragama temple, where locals partake in the noisy night-time ritual of pooja.

Days 11-12 Ahangama
Ride alongside the Bundala Bird Sanctuary, where flamingos can be spotted at certain times during the year. Then, lap up the spoils of a tropical beachside setting, making sure to admire the skill of stilt fishermen, who balance precariously above the breaking waves.
