    Please let me know the level of intensity of cycling. I am very active in sports however I am not very knowledgeable in cycling. Do we have the option during the tour to get a break of being on a bus for few hours just in case I feel tired ?

    There are regular rest breaks each day, so you'll have opportunities to take a break and recharge if needed. That said, it's worth keeping in mind that you'll be cycling over several consecutive days, often in a climate and terrain that may be quite different from what you're used to.
    
    Since you're already very active, that's a great starting point. I'd recommend doing some aerobic exercise before the trip, such as jogging or swimming, although cycling is definitely the best preparation. If you can, try to fit in a few longer bike rides before travelling, or spend some time on an exercise bike at the gym. This will give you a better idea of how you feel after spending a few hours on the bike.
    
    It's also important that you feel comfortable and confident riding a bicycle, both on your own and as part of a group.
    
    In terms of getting off the bike during the tour, yes, there is some flexibility. While cycling is our main form of transport, we do sometimes use local buses, trains or taxis for longer distances or non-cycling activities. We also have a support vehicle that follows the group for the majority of the rides. It can be used when we need to cover longer distances, avoid areas that aren't suitable for cycling, or if someone has an issue while riding. It can also be an option if you decide you'd rather not cycle for an hour or even for a full day.
    
    So you won't be expected to push through if you're feeling particularly tired. the support vehicle is there as a backup and to give some flexibility during the trip.

    Also how can I make a reservation for an E bike upon arrival ?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2026

    An arrival time of around 5:00 AM in Colombo will not be an issue for arranging an airport pickup. Transfers can be scheduled to meet your flight regardless of the early arrival time.

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2026

    Regarding the e-bike, this needs to be requested before the trip and cannot be guaranteed on arrival, as availability is limited and subject to demand.

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2025

    All our travellers and staff are safe and accounted for. However, the recent severe weather caused by Cyclonic Storm Ditwah has disrupted road and train travel to some areas, including Anuradhapura, Jaffna, and parts of the Central Highlands such as Ella, Hatton, Nuwara Eliya, and Bandarawela. Contingency plans are in place for all upcoming departures. Any affected areas will be avoided, and any changes to the itinerary will be communicated directly to travellers by the booking agent or the tour leader on the ground. Most train lines are expected to remain unavailable for the next month. If your itinerary includes train journeys that cannot operate, alternative vehicle transport will be arranged.

  Do you have any cycling trip availability in Nov 2025 particularly from 15/16 Nov. I am in Colombo on business the week of 10 Nov and looking to do a bit of sightseeing afterwards. I am a cyclist.
