Overview

Cycling in Knuckles mountain range

If someone is looking for an adventure blended real mountain biking experience, this would be the ideal tour to quench their desire. This 45Km full day fully guided tour will provide a nice on and off road biking experience to the clients that will probably become one of memorable activities they have done during their stay in Sri Lanka.

Important things

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. We resume with a gravel terrain which you will enjoy at your maximum. The forest cover will provide the shade to ease our ride. After some moderate climbs and a rocky downhill we will come to a point called Corbett’s gap. The panoramic view there will never let you leave the place without taking few photos. 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. The ride will be concluded at Hunnasgiriya and you will be transferred to your hotel in Kandy.
