“It’s not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves”
– Sir Edmund Hillary –
Let’s bring you up to speed if you are new to abseiling. It’s the sport of finding the courage to lower yourself off the edge of a precipice! Well, at least that’s what we think it means fundamentally.
Technically, it’s the art of controlling your descent down a steep slope using specialized rope and equipment. This allows us to navigate terrain that is otherwise impossible to explore. It’s highly useful in descending canyons and caves.
It goes without saying that abseiling is one of the most thrilling activities that can be done in Sri Lanka. But that’s not the only reason why everyone should try it at least once. Ceylon Extreme Adventures looks at abseiling as the ultimate trust fall – because that’s what it is, a fall; a controlled fall. Here, you’ll be forced to trust in yourself, your instructor, and the equipment that you use, and take a ‘leap of faith. You’ll be forced to look at your fear as you dangle hundreds of feet above it, and each step that you take as you climb down the mountain will reinforce your willpower to overcome your fear.
And CEA makes no compromises on the instructors and gear that we use – we do everything in our power to guarantee your safety. Now all you have to do is trust in yourself!


For the hardcore adventurers out there, Ceylon Extreme Adventures is all you need to make your Sri Lanka trip extraordinary. We are pioneers when it comes to extreme abseils in unique locations. As of yet, we are proud to be the only Sri Lankan service provider to offer a 500ft Rock abseil and a 400 ft waterfall abseil! And we have a lot more unique locations on our recce list.
Green, is the best word to describe abseiling in the tropics. Our abseiling locations are way out in the wilderness, and as you descend, you will mostly see green mountains, jungles, and plains all the way to the horizon. Waterfall abseiling is another feature especially enjoyable in the tropics. As tropical mountains are riddled with cascades, they offer us a unique way to amp up the abseiling activity and also get wet while doing it. And last but not least, getting to these stunning locations always includes a spectacular hike or trek, which makes it all the more worthwhile.
