SEAM's first non-motorcycle group trip and first trip outside Thailand. Trade the bike for a tuk tuk and explore Sri Lanka's south coast and hill country — golden beaches, gem mines, misty mountains, single-lane village roads. Open-air, slow paced, completely different rhythm.
Each tuk tuk fits 1–2 people. Ride solo or bring someone. No motorcycle license needed — tuk tuks are manual but easy to pick up, and we'll get everyone comfortable on day one in Negombo before hitting the road. Sri Lankan driving permits handled for you.
April 5–11, 2027 (7 days)
Negombo → Ratnapura → Colombo
Tuk tuk (rental + permits included)
8 tuk tuks (1–2 people each, 16 max)
6 nights, 1 room per tuk tuk

Fly into CMB (Colombo). Quick hop to Negombo, settle in, group dinner. Tuk tuk orientation — pick up your tuk tuk, learn the gears, do a slow loop around town. You'll be comfortable by sunset.
Head south down the coast. Beach stops, fishing villages, fresh coconut. Hit Bentota by evening for the first dose of the Indian Ocean.
Continue south along the coastal road — palm-lined, light traffic, salt in the air. Arrive in Mirissa, the southernmost stop. Sunset, fishing boats, beach dinner.
Optional whale watching, surfing, or just beach time. Group lunch at a local spot. Easy day before heading inland.
Inland into the tea country. Roads tighten, climb into the mist. Stop in tea estates, taste-test, watch the workers pick. Overnight in cool hill country.
Wind through the hills toward Suriyakanda. Quieter roads, fewer tourists, more local life. Tea plantations give way to forest.
Drop into Sri Lanka's gem capital. Visit a gem mine, explore the town, last group dinner.
Final ride back to the coast. Drop tuk tuks. Goodbyes. Fly out April 11 (or extend in Colombo).
