Sri Lanka, the radiant island nation, offers an astonishing diversity of landscapes in a remarkably small area: dream beaches and mangroves, misty mountain forests and tea plantations, dense jungle and open savannah. Few destinations are better suited to exploring by E-bike.
Experience everyday life in Asia up close and with all your senses. Visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, enjoy High Tea in the cool hill country once favored by the British Empire, embark on a safari in Yala National Park, discover the legendary rock fortress of Sigiriya, and experience one of Asia’s most scenic railway routes.
And don’t worry – Buddha’s serene smile will be watching over you.
