Who We Are
Riders, storytellers, and guardians of Sri Lanka's open roads.
Cycle Paradise was born on a misty morning climb through the Knuckles range. Today we operate island-wide cycling expeditions that braid performance riding with deep cultural exchange. Our guides, mechanics, nutritionists, and local artisans operate as one studio to craft journeys that are safe, soulful, and sustainable.

Our Mission
Build legendary rides that uplift every village we roll through.
We curate every expedition with three guardrails: safety that rivals ProTour support, meaningful encounters with craftspeople and conservationists, and regenerative operations that keep Sri Lanka thriving for decades of cyclists to come.
- 1
Dynamic route intelligence that adapts weather, traffic, and rider energy in real time.
- 2
Hands-on cultural playbooks co-created with historians, tea masters, and wildlife trackers.
- 3
Impact commitments that track carbon, fair wages, and rider wellbeing metrics each quarter.
Values in Motion
These are the promises every Cycle Paradise team member trains to uphold.
People First
We design rider-centric experiences with safety briefings, bilingual guides, and curated rest stops that match different fitness levels.
Sustainable Footprints
Every itinerary offsets carbon, supports conservation partners, and follows Leave No Trace guidelines.
Local Stewardship
80% of the experience fee stays with Sri Lankan-owned businesses, homestays, and craft cooperatives.
Relentless Learning
Guides complete quarterly training in first aid, bicycle mechanics, cultural sensitivity, and storytelling.
Leadership Team
Meet the riders guiding every decision.
We blend expedition know-how, hospitality craft, and business rigor. Every leader still rides at least two tours a quarter to stay close to riders.
