School Rugby Tour to Sri Lanka

Best time to travel: November to September

Whilst Sri Lanka may not be the first destination that springs to mind when thinking about long-haul school rugby tours, it actually makes a fantastic choice. The second largest rugby-playing nation in Asia (after Japan), Sri Lankans have been playing rugby since the late 19th century.

You certainly won’t be short of strong fixtures on your school rugby tour to Sri Lanka. And you’ll enjoy a really warm welcome from your hosts. This will be a rugby tour your students will never forget, as they explore the rich Sri Lankan culture through a shared love of their sport.

You’ll also have the chance to try out some water sports on Sri Lanka’s spectacular coast, as well as some unforgettable visits to an elephant sanctuary and turtle hatchery. You’ll also enjoy city tours of the magnificent cities of Colombo and Kandy.

Fantastically organised trip which was well implemented by our rep out in Barcelona. Early starts and full days meant the students didn't have time to mess around and were shattered at night so went to sleep at reasonable times. Coaching for both football and netball was to a high standard, with skills and tactics apparent throughout both. All 72 students enjoyed the trip and said they would go again should the trip be offered to them. I would recommend this travel company and trip to any teacher wishing to take their students on a football/netball tour. – Bradfield School
