      This trip is suggested for guests aged 18-55, but sometimes we can be flexible with this. There's a few things to consider before you decide to join.

      This trip uses multi-bed dorm shared accommodation with the option to upgrade to a private room excluding 1 night in Ella, Sri Lanka.

      The majority of guests that join this trip are aged in their 20's, 30's and 40's and expect to be joining a trip with a younger age demographic.
