Running independently of school, you’ll get all the benefits of the training, support and safety of a World Challenge experience with a ready-made team of like-minded young travellers who you’ll get to know in the build up to the trip ahead. Each year, we hand select a list of the very best destinations and have (limited) spots available for those brave young souls ready to take up the challenge. All that’s left to do is choose your destination, sign up and put the dates in your diary.

Your school trip to Sri Lanka awaits
Travel to a tropical island of golden temples, misty mountains, and surf-washed sands on an unforgettable school expedition or journey to Sri Lanka. Bursting with colour and lapped by the Indian Ocean, this island nation is packed with World Heritage sites and boasts more than 2,000 years of rich culture and history.
On this school trip, you’ll receive a warm welcome wherever you go, giving you the chance to connect with locals and discover a side of Sri Lanka that most tourists never see. Trek through rolling tea hills, spot elephants in the jungle, or discuss Buddhism with peace-loving monks in serene temple settings. Along the way, immerse yourself in Sri Lanka’s incredible cuisine, think coconut sambal, delicious dhal, and refreshing Ceylon tea.
This student adventure is more than just a journey, it’s an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, experience a new way of life, and see the world from a different perspective. With its tropical climate and stunning landscapes, Sri Lanka is an island of discovery. Pack your sunblock, embrace the adventure, and get ready to explore!
“ Probably the best moment of my expedition to Sri Lanka was sitting on a rock in the middle of the Knuckles Range, with the people that I had become so close with, watching the sun set over the mountains.”
