  • C

    Claudia

    Asked on July 11th, 2026

    Approximately how many people are currently booked on this departure? Do you usually have many solo travellers on this trip? Is the group usually quite international? Where do most travellers tend to come from? Do you have a rough idea of the male-to-female ratio for this departure? I'm travelling solo and just wanted to get a better idea of what the group is like.

    Group size
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      There are currently 9 travellers booked on this tour departure. In addition, 8 other travellers are joining as part of a combination of tours that began before this departure and continue into July.

      The group is made up primarily of solo travellers, with a mix of European, North American, and Oceanian nationalities. The majority of the travellers are female.

  • A

    Alexander

    Asked on January 19th, 2026

    Is it also possible to know the ratio of male and female travellers ?

    Group size
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      We have 8 female travellers and 3 male travellers so far.

    • A

      Alexander

      Traveler•Written January 2026

      Does this tour include the Kandy/Ella train ride ?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      Because of the heavy rains and flooding at the end of 2025, the train may not be operating but we do usually use the train from Kandy. It may be 4-5 months until the train is fully operating again, so it could not be on this trip's itinerary if booked before then.

    Tyler

    Asked on October 12th, 2025

    I was very interested in your Sri Lanka group tour starting on November 10, 2025, but unfortunately, I've seen that this date is already fully booked. As I'm currently looking for a suitable group trip to Sri Lanka, I wanted to kindly ask whether you offer any similar tours during that period — ideally between 8 and 14 days in length, with a latest return date of November 24, 2025. In terms of group dynamics, I generally prefer tours with a younger group atmosphere, typically up to around 45 years of age. I'm 41 years old myself but very young at heart — I'm often mistaken for being around 28 — and I enjoy active, youthful group settings. Therefore, I'd also like to ask whether tours with an upper age limit of 39 might still be an option for me.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025

      We are unable to offer trips that are restricted to Ages 18-39 as it's important for us as a company to manage traveller's expectations. Let us offer the following options that may be suitable: Sri Lanka Express (8 days), Sri Lanka Encompassed (14 days).
