India & Sri Lanka

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India and Sri Lanka together offer one of the most diverse travel experiences in South Asia, spanning the vast subcontinent and the teardrop island just off its southern tip. India is renowned for its ancient temples, Mughal architecture, Himalayan trekking, bustling cities like Mumbai and Delhi, and deeply varied regional cultures and cuisines. Sri Lanka draws travellers with its UNESCO-listed cultural sites, lush tea-country highlands, wildlife safaris in Yala National Park, and some of the best surf and dive spots in the Indian Ocean. The combination of the two makes for a rich multi-country itinerary blending history, nature, spirituality, and coastline.

India to Sri Lanka: The Pink City & Spice Gardens — Self-Launched

A self-launched 32-day overland adventure mirroring G Adventures' classic young-traveller India-to-Sri Lanka route. Start in bustling Delhi, tick off the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort before soaking up Goa's beaches, then cross southern India via Cochin and Kerala's backwaters. Finish in Sri Lanka's culture-rich interior — Dambulla caves, the Sigiriya rock fortress, Kandy's Temple of the Tooth, Nuwara Eliya's tea country and a trek to Ella Rock — before winding down on Hikkaduwa Beach. Done independently you'll use local trains, buses and tuk-tuks instead of a private coach, and swap group guesthouses for budget stays. Approx. £1,900–2,200 all-in (excluding flights), versus roughly £2,700+ with the group operator.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for India & Sri Lanka yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
