Central Sri Lanka adventure: Tuk tuk challenge

Have you ever travelled around Central Ceylon on a rickshaw? Properly not, but this Sri Lanka overlanding holiday adventure is not to be missed

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel around Central Ceylon on a rickshaw? Properly not! But this Sri Lanka overlanding holiday adventure is not to be missed.

Imagine being able to tell your mates that you travelled 1,000km around Sri Lanka. In a rickshaw. A rickshaw that you drove. That, friends, is the Lanka Challenge rickshaw adventure: the ultimate road trip for those who like their travel fully-charged and no-holds-barred. Each day you’ll wake up, be told where you need to be by sundown, and get handed a list of challenges to complete along the way – the completion of which will see your team accrue points. The rest is up to you, you big legend.

Questions you will be forced to ask yourself during the Central Ceylon rickshaw adventure include: Who’s going to go and get a photo of that crocodile? Who’s going to get us invited to a local’s place for lunch? Who’s going to take one for the team in the chilli-eating challenge? What day is it? And where did I put my Imodium? One hell of an amazing time is guaranteed. Life-changing experiences are probable. Navigational stupidity is optional.

Our Central Route is our only route where we have 2 nights of camping (glamping) so we suppose that makes you extra tough if you take on this Sri Lanka overlanding holiday. Don’t think you’re that special though, our camping nights are pretty special and you’re very well looked after. Theres some epic scenery and we probably ask your tuk tuks to do a little more work on this route due to the hills but it’s nothing a tuk tuk can’t do.
