What to expect

1

Kandy

Since this is a full day comprehensive adventure bike tour, better to start early as possible after the breakfast. We will pick our guests from the hotel (In Kandy). The vehicle probably is a safari type jeep and transferred to the starting point of our ride, which is about 25 Km away from Kandy. We start off with a nice downhill towards Knuckles forest reserve. We will stop by a natural swimming pool on our way to take a small rest before the tough climb ahead. The climb will be about 2.5Km with a challenging gradient. But the good news is our back up vehicle will be right behind us for so guests can shift to it any time they want. Our next stop will be for the lunch and it will be a nice village lunch from a house on our way.

Our next stop will be for a nice cup of tea at the base camp site. We start to roll a gain up to Hunnasgiriya with some climbs and a thrilling road downhill.
