We ride every kilometre before we ever invite you to join
Across Ceylon is a collective of Sri Lankan cyclists, naturalists and travel designers crafting premium, rider-first journeys. Every itinerary is tested on the ground, balancing breathtaking terrain, meaningful encounters and the recovery rituals that keep legs fresh.

What sets our journeys apart
Every itinerary is crafted to balance exertion with awe pairing dawn climbs with cultural immersion, and remote gravel with the comfort of boutique stays.

Routes are curated by Sri Lankan riders who grew up on these roads and continually refine every bend.
