Can an agency book wheelchair-accessible tours in Sri Lanka?

A select number of specialised Sri Lankan travel agencies successfully put together fully wheelchair-accessible tours by carefully checking the infrastructure and using modified vans with ramps. They plan routes that avoid the country's often challenging, stair-heavy historical sites, sometimes by taking quieter back roads or choosing access points that are less obstructed.

Accessibility in Sri Lanka is still developing, so a lot of older hotels and ancient ruins do not yet provide proper ramps or elevators. A seasoned operator will usually lock in ground-floor accommodations with roll-in showers and also map out substitute, flat-terrain viewing spots for places like Sigiriya to keep the whole outing dignified and comfortable.
