THE JOURNEY
460 km of riding and 8,200 m of climbing — from cool mountain passes to the warm ocean.
Day 1-2
Meet in Kandy and build the bikes. Our first ride through the hills — settling in, checking the setup, and getting a feel for Sri Lankan roads.
Day 3-6
We climb into the mountain town of Nuwara Eliya (1,895 m) — cool air, tea hills, and a completely different side of Sri Lanka.Here we take a rest day — time to explore the surroundings or simply recharge.From there, we continue through the highlands before descending to Haputale, with panoramic views over tea plantations and valleys.
Day 7-9
From the cool mountains, we begin our descent along winding roads and smooth asphalt, slowly exchanging crisp mountain air for the warmth of the tropics. With every kilometer, the ocean feels closer — pine forests, viewpoints, and the final mountain passes along the way.The final stretch brings us to palm trees, coconuts, and the warm ocean.
Day 10-12
In Weligama, we slow down and enjoy the warm ocean — surfing, yoga, and relaxed bike rides.One of them takes us along the coast to Galle, a historic fortress town with narrow streets and colonial architecture.At the end, we pack the bikes, prepare for departure, and finish the journey together with a small farewell dinner.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
My name is Artur, and I’m the founder of 6AM.
I’ve been living in Sri Lanka for the past five years and during that time I’ve explored the entire island by bike — getting to know its roads, rhythm of life, and routes.
I’ve also travelled across Asia and Europe, riding more than 30,000 km in different formats — and realised that the combination of bike + support vehicle + comfortable stays creates the best balance of comfort and freedom.
That experience became the foundation of 6AM — journeys where you can simply ride, enjoy the road, and let everything else be taken care of.

THE FIRST JOURNEY
This became the first 6AM journey across Sri Lanka and proved that this way of travelling really works — moving across the island with comfort, freedom, and space to enjoy the road.
