Sri Lanka Cycling Tours: An Adventure for Every Cyclist

Conditions that may affect grading when going cycling in Sri Lanka

We have taken the following 6 factors into consideration when outlining the grading :

• Cycling distance

• Average altitude and altitude gain and loss

• Trail conditions

• Level of backpacking required

• Temperature range and likely weather conditions

• Level of humidity (can jump from 70% to 90% very easily)

• Remoteness to services and general level of comfort

With the grading, we want to provide you with an overall indicator that helps you to compare one ride against another. However, kindly note that we are unable to give absolutely specific gradings as there are various factors contributing to the trail and weather conditions when going cycling in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Cycling Tours: Weather Conditions in Sri Lanka

In the lowlands, the climate is tropical with an average temperature of 27° Celsius, whereas the central highlands are much cooler, with temperatures dropping down to 14C. The south-east monsoon brings the rain to the western, south western and central regions from May to July, while the north-western monsoon occurs in the north and east in December and January. Sri Lanka generally boasts of a good climate for traveling throughout the year.

We are always looking to constantly improve our services and create new excursions that make you want to come back over and over again to experience a ride in this wondrous land with its 2500-year-old history and colourful traditions.

Soft Grading

Ideal for leisure riders. Although predominantly on dirt roads, these trails may also be on short and easy off-road sections. Mainly on flat and very gentle slopes. Usually, these types of trails are short in duration and done at lower altitudes; often they are optional, providing a rest day in between the tour. You would usually ride for 4 to 5 hours during a specific day.

Moderate Grading

These trials are designed for cyclist who rides regularly as a means of exercise. Most people who enjoy a weekend of cycling in the hills or mountains at home are capable of undertaking a trail of this level. Along the way, there are a variety of gentle off-road routes with very few technical sections. However, we can always provide you with the option of taking a more difficult section, an alternative route on an easier route, or travel in the backup vehicle. You would usually ride for 5-7 hours a day and moderate elevation difference may occur.

Hard/Pro Grading

For trails which entail professional and technical sections, fitness is the most important component and you may have to improve yours before the start of the expedition. These sections are usually located at significantly higher altitudes and with substantial elevation differences. Some routes are designed with tough single trails that would require the utmost competence. You would ride for 7-9 hours per day.

The south-east monsoon brings the rain to the western, south western and central regions from May to July, while the north-western monsoon occurs in the north and east in December and January. Sri Lanka generally boasts of a good climate for traveling throughout the year.

A: Soft Grading

Experience is not necessary at this level - anyone who is in good health and fit enough to enjoy a good weekend hill walk can manage these treks. Usually, A-grade treks are short in duration and at lower altitudes; often they are optional, giving a chance of a rest day. However, walking always involves some exertion: trails are seldom flat, and you must still expect to have a reasonable amount of ascent and descent. You would normally walk for 3 to 5 hours during the day.

B: Moderate Grading  

Most people who enjoy a weekend in the hills or mountains at home are capable of undertaking a trek at this level: you need to be in good health and reasonably fit, and you will almost certainly be taking regular exercise. A trek could be B-graded either as a fairly easy medium-duration walk, or as a harder, shorter walk. Some walking at higher altitude and the occasional longer or more difficult day may be involved, but generally conditions underfoot will be fair. A walking day would normally be between 4 to 7 hours long.

C: Hard Grading

For any trek at this level, fitness is most important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most hard grade treks are equivalent to extended walking in mountainous terrain at home, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness can also play a part. Walking days are usually between 6 to 8 hours although there may be some longer days for pass-crossing or similar. Previous trekking experience is desirable but not essential if you are confident of your physical condition.

D: Tough Grading  

At this level we recommend previous experience of trekking, preferably at altitude, and you need complete confidence in your physical condition and your ability to trek for many days without a break and be able to cope with difficult underfoot terrain such as difficult paths on steep mountainsides. Extremes of altitude and weather may also be encountered. Stamina is very important, as walking days can be from 6 to 9 hours or even longer on pass-crossing days.
