Sri Lanka is now on her rebuilding phase after the war that took most of her beauty and human qualities that were being praised all around the globe. Now Sri lanka is coming back slowly but steadily. Now most of the Sri Lankans like to go for new horizons that were closed for them to reach.
Lanka Challenge - 2009 is one such event that is going to be organized within Sri Lanka this month. This will give Sri Lanka to show her beauty and let some adventure loving foreign tourists to explore her real beauty in a different angle.
The Lanka Challenge 2009 will see intrepid travelers from around the world traverse the spicy island of Sri Lanka from the 5th-15th September 2009, in one of the funkiest modes of transport invented by man; the humble Auto Rickshaw. This three - wheeled mean machine will become your best companion as you compete in a ”master of disaster” challenge through mountains, rainforests, coastal villages and bustling cities, not to mention some of the most breathtaking scenery you will ever witness.
As you ascend and descend this enigmatic island you will come across colorful villages, paddy fields, coconut palms, forest reserves, national parks, tea plantations and golden beaches. Along the journey you will also discover and admire the holy temples, monuments, statues, and colonial forts punctuating this beautiful island.
The Lanka Challenge is not for the faint hearted and insanity will definitively prevail! This is by no means an easy race; contestants will embark on a true test of character, a maker of men, a genuine test of resourcefulness, endurance and navigational stupidity. It is well known that auto rickshaws go fast and fall to pieces (luckily not very fast and not too many pieces), so prepare yourself to patch up your humble steed in the most extreme of weather conditions, marooned in the most remote locations and wearing the most ludicrous of outfits. Wacky Racers meets Super Mario Kart, tikka fuelled, under-prepared, over-confident and extra stupid.
Come and savor the true essence of this devilled island; admire the power of religion, absorb its captivating culture, engage with its charismatic people and learn its “machan” ways. We will ensure that your contributions leave a positive footprint on the local community and everyone touched by this event.
