The Lankan Odyssey

About The Lankan Odyssey

Tired of predicting your everyday?

Welcome to a journey where the island doesn’t just reveal itself, it performs. The Lankan Odyssey is not your typical getaway; it’s an eight-day awakening across an island that has mastered the art of quiet grandeur. Rugged coasts, ancient kingdoms, mist-laden mountains and roads by the ocean, this drive takes you through a landscape that feels crafted for wanderers with taste.

Every curve, every climb, every coastline whispers a new story. And with Mahindra Adventure leading the way, this is not merely travel. It’s your private invitation to feel Sri Lanka in its purest, most cinematic form, behind the wheel under open skies, and in true Mahindra style.

Drive Concept:

Mahindra & Mahindra has been shaping unforgettable expeditions since 1996, over 150 drives every year, designed for explorers who live beyond the ordinary. A Boutique Drive isn’t a vacation; it’s a sensory immersion. Each day is curated to let you absorb the island’s most breathtaking landscapes while experiencing the thrill of driving in ways maps don’t mention.

From the wind-kissed shores of Mannar to the mystical mountain ranges near Kandy, the Lankan Odyssey takes you deep into an isle rich with soul and story. You’ll traverse routes few travelers ever touch, absorbing the 3,000-year-old cultural opulence of the island, drifting through serene countryside, and letting the ocean breeze and white-sand coastlines gently take over your senses.

This is where you lose track of time and rediscover yourself, all while soaking in the timeless charm of Sri Lanka, delivered with Mahindra Adventure’s signature finesse!
