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.
We resume with a gravel terrain which you will enjoy at your maximum. The forest cover will provide the shade to ease our ride.
