Join us for the third edition of the Sri Lanka Classic 2027 on the enchanting Jewel Island, nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean!

Serendip, an ancient name bestowed upon Sri Lanka by Arabic traders, gave rise to the English term 'serendipity'—a fortuitous discovery born of chance!

Embark on a journey through the country's most enchanting passages. Traverse landscapes that unfold like a tapestry—across emerald paddy fields, beneath the shade of mango groves, through the depths of mystical forests, and alongside the lapping waves of the coast. As you ascend to the highlands, be prepared to be awestruck by the majestic sweep of mountains and the mist-draped, undulating tea gardens stretching to the horizon.

Wander through the storied cities of Anuradhapura, Jaffna, Polonnaruwa, and Galle, each adorned with a rich architectural legacy. Discover their hidden gems—ancient forts, evocative ruins, and temples that harmoniously blend Hindu culture with colonial echoes. From the pearl-white beaches of Trincomalee to the idyllic shores of Tangalle, the possibility of encountering whales is an added thrill. Brace yourself for an ascent to Sigiriya, where the brave can conquer the 5th-century fortress atop the rock, offering panoramic views.

Immerse yourself in the sacred aura of Kandy, a city nestled on a plateau, its tranquil central lake mirroring the bluish-green mountains that encircle it. Amidst the emerald undulations of tea plantations, Nuwara Eliya beckons with its perennially pleasant climate. Don't miss the chance to explore two remarkable national parks: Minneriya National Park, renowned for its wild elephant herds, and Yala National Park, a haven for elusive leopards.

Our meticulous arrangements include a selection of exquisite hotels, lodges, and tented camps, ensuring your comfort and delight.

As this remarkable journey reaches its crescendo, rest and revel at the iconic Galle Face Hotel in Colombo—a fitting finale to an extraordinary 15-day rally.




Over de organisator



The history of Destination Rally

Born on the initiative of 2 individuals, one passionate about classic cars and one inspired by travel with a love for one of Southeast Asia’s most secretive countries, Myanmar, this ambitious project of organizing the first classic car rally in Myanmar (Burma) was on its wheels. It was not going to be easy to set up this historic event in a country that was for a long time closed to the outside world. Set for October 2013, it took a lot of effort and administration hurdles to finally announce the departure of the First ever vintage car rally in Myanmar on 25 October, with 9 cars ready on the departure line ! It turned out to be a fantastic success for the participants and a treat for the locals who had not seen foreigners, nor vintage cars before. This historic event was made possible because of the hard work of the Belgian team, but also the local Burmese team at Inspiration Myanmar – Rally Logistics and the help of the Myanmar Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who supported the project from its inception. Since then, Destination Rally has operated more than 18 rallies on 6 continents.
