Pepper Journeys are not holidays, but nor are they experiences. They are an in-depth exploration of just one special place, over 3-4 days – a journey within your extended travels around Sri Lanka.
We recommend you include one or two journeys to your main Sri Lanka holiday. This will be an opportunity to take a break from the tourist trail and do something unique.
As our journeys are different to traditional Sri Lanka holidays, we imagine you will have questions. Below are our FAQs, or contact us at experiences@pepper.life
.Pepper Journeys are completely different to a regular hotel stay as you stay in traditional wattle and daub houses, tents, wood cabins or basic guest house type rooms.
As we take you away from the tourist trail to places like dense forests or plantations, Pepper Journeys focus more on a rewarding experience with some compromises on the level of comfort.
It depends on the journey. Staying in the local organic farm includes comfortable guesthouse type rooms whilst the journey to no man’s land takes you to a very basic local house, and then an abandoned village in the middle of a jungle.
Let us know if you’re not sure about the comfort level of a particular journey: we will let you know specific details so that you can assess the level of comfort.
Some of them can be. For example, Sri Lanka’s hidden canyons involves abseiling on waterfalls which requires a good level of strength. However, journeys such as living in a Sri Lankan village on the Back to basics journey are a lot more relaxed.
Most of our journeys are family friendly and they can create some memorable moments for each family member. However, younger children may not be able to join some journeys – we’ve mentioned the age limits on each journey.
If your family is more outdoorsy and if you want to know whether a more adventurous journey will work for your family, do let us know and we will let you know more about the journey so you can assess if that journey would work for your family.
If a journey involves travelling in a vehicle, this will be included in the journey. However, you will need to make it to the meeting point which will be the closest town. We are happy to assist if you require longer transfers.
Most journeys include all meals. This is specified in the description of each journey.
Email us at experiences@pepper.life and let us know about the journey(s) you’d like to book. We’d also like to know a little about you, such as your interests, where you’re travelling from, number of participants, dietary requirements etc., so that we are better placed to make recommendations and tailor your journey(s) to you.
