Colombo, Sri Lanka · Monday to Saturday, 9am–6pm (IST)
Where we go
Sri Lanka fits inside most European countries, but the weather, the food and the landscape change every few hours of driving. These are the regions we plan around — and when to be in each.
Two monsoons run at once, on opposite sides of the island. Pick the right coast for your dates and the weather usually does the rest.
Plan with a local
Most journeys combine two or three of these regions. Tell us the dates and we'll tell you which side of the island the weather is on.

Where we go
The team that plans a Sri Lanka journey also plans journeys out of it: India and Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and Malaysia. These are the countries we arrange, and the months each is at its best.
Outbound journeys are sold by enquiry. Tell us your dates and we’ll come back with a route, a price and the months you’ll be travelling in.

Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Lumbini, Kathmandu
The Buddhist circuit runs from Bodh Gaya and Sarnath across the border to Lumbini and the stupas of Kathmandu. The distances are long and the roads are slow, so we plan it as a pilgrimage — fewer stops, and more time at each.

02ThailandBangkok, Krabi, Phuket, the Gulf islands
Thailand has two coasts and two weather patterns, so where you go depends on when you can travel. The Andaman side is dry and calm from November; the Gulf islands keep their own clock. Bangkok fits at either end of the journey.

Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, the Mekong
A long country, and the weather changes with the latitude. November to April suits the classic route from Hanoi down to the Mekong; the far north is cold in December and January, so pack for it.

04BaliUbud, Uluwatu, the north coast
Most people see one beach and one temple. We build the journey around the interior as well — the rice terraces above Ubud, the water temples, and the quieter north coast — with enough days in each place that you are not repacking every morning.

05MalaysiaPenang, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, the rainforest
The peninsula packs food towns, old ports and rainforest into a few hours of driving. Penang and Kuala Lumpur are for eating, Langkawi is for the coast, and the interior is the part most people skip. We keep the shape open until we know how long you have.
