The second largest island in the Indian Ocean... Translated as "Dazzling Country"... Exotic at every turn, delightful with the rich culture of the Far East, full of the monuments of ancient Ceylon, stunning with the smell of tea and spices, endless views of palm groves intersected by rice fields, surrounded by beautiful beaches. A place where National Parks with herds of roaming elephants, majestically drifting crocodiles, hunting leopards, or dancing Indian cobras are at your fingertips. This is also where the most beautiful specimens of rubies and emeralds come from... A pristine vestibule of Asia, a paradise for tourists seeking the exotic, also a great place for motorcyclists.
A proposal for a 15-day exploration and vacation in Ceylon. Organized, touristic, stationary and circumnavigation, in two variants: on 2 wheels (with motorcycles for single-track enthusiasts) and on 4 wheels (Van/Bus for supporters of four-point support) - an adventure dedicated primarily to those with a taste for a moderately active and at the same time social way of spending time dedicated to unconventional exploration of the world....
It is a tourist trip, by definition, focused on getting to know the country, interesting places and local culture. Another of the 2-wheel and 4-wheel stationary and touring formula implemented in this destination. There are no stunt elements in the event, including rivalry and competition. Participants travel in a group, spend time in a group and support each other. The main emphasis in the organization has been on selecting destinations with high tourist appeal, ensuring a balance between travel time and stationary time, and creating conditions for establishing good relationships between participants, while taking care to maintain the expected privacy.

Sighiriya and Pidurangala are considered by many to be the most beautiful places in Sri Lanka. The former is a miracle of nature and at the same time a miracle of human hands - a fortress was erected on top of a huge rock monolith in the 5th century AD, the ruins of which still inspire awe. It is besieged by tourists from early morning until late afternoon. We will climb the latter - Pidurangala - from where the views are beautiful and the congestion disproportionately less.

The most beautiful of the temples on the island.

Among other things, the region is inhabited by plantation Tamils, brought here by Europeans during the colonial period to grow tea and vegetables.
