A fantastic morning on two wheels!

We had a wonderful trip with the brilliant Sajid as our knowledgeable guide. Beautiful scenery with tea plantations and Sri Lankan life in full effect. Topped off with a dip in a secluded waterfall and a delicious home cooked meal. Thank you for a great trip - would highly recommend!

Cannot recommend this tour enough. A real trip highlight!

Had a great morning with Sajith! As a keen cyclist I was missing my bike so booked this tour, one of the best mornings of the trip. We cycled to a beautiful waterfall and got to see more of rural life. Hills were easy with the bikes having a wide gear range. We had a delicious lunch prepared by a local lady, tea infront of the waterfall and stopped for fresh fruit in the village. Sajith was really lovely (felt like cycling with an old friend) and I learned about Sri Lankan history, tea plantations and local life. So many beautiful views along the way. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Don’t be put off the hills, you can take as many breaks as you need and it’s all at your own pace. Thank you for a great morning😊

We took Pasindu on a beautiful bike ride through tea plantations to a hidden waterfall. After a refreshing dip at Aunti we had an authentic curry cooked on wood fire !!! We also learned a lot of valuable information about the country and people, thank you Pasindu 🙏

Wonderful cycle with a great guide.

What a fantastic morning cycle from Ella to Kombukara with our great guide Pasindu. We stopped at various places to take photos and talk about the landscape. We stopped for watermelon at a small vegetable and fruit shop in Ballaketuwa. Pasindu showed me so many different types of produce, a real education. From there we continued to Kambukara waterfall for a cup of tea before climbing (by foot) up to the falls for a cool & refreshing dip. Lunch was taken at the bottom of the falls, a delicious meal cooked over a wood fired cooker in a tiny kitchen by a delightful lady. We returned back to Ella the same way. The whole trip was breathtaking. The ride is about 21k.

One of the best tours I have ever taken! Don’t miss this one!

This is one of the best biking tour experiences I have ever had. It’s a beautiful ride. The guides are the best. The bikes were good. The lunch is one of the best meals I’ve had on my holiday and it was a great value. It’s a mix of tea, plantations, small villages in natural waterfall.
