Cycling

Tea Trails is one of Asia's best-kept mountain biking secrets. It is the perfect terrain for a biking adventure with several century old trails winding their way through the tea estates, many offering stunning views of Adam's Peak in the distance. Several biking trails can be cycled from Boulder Garden - enjoy the scenic beauty of the valleys, streams, rugged mountain terrain, lush jungles, rubber trees and tea plantations around Sinharaja. The challenging terrain of the mountains is great for the more experienced. The various historical sites at Polonnaruwa can be explored by bike, and bikes can be hired at Kandalama Resort where a 30kms virtually traffic free route takes you through typical Sri Lankan villages and farmland. The Backwaters of Kerala offers the best easy cycling opportunities, where traffic is at its least perilous! Both Privacy and the Kumarakom Lake Resort has mountain bikes on site so you can explore the nearby vicinity - a landscape of coconut groves and paddy fields, criss-crossed with the labyrinth of lagoons, canals and backwaters.
