Day 1Upon arriving in Sri Lanka, transfer directly to Kandy where you will stay overnight at the Chaaya Citadel located at the edge of the Mahaweli River. Rest and relax after your long flight. In the evening, we recommend a visit to the Temple of the Tooth where a sacred tooth relic of the Lord Buddha is enshrined since 4th Century A.D. The temple has decorative walls, a golden roof and fine woodwork. Religious services (pooja) with traditional music and drumming are held daily at dawn, mid-day and in the evening where guests can participate.

Day 2The cycling tours commences today from Kandy through the spectacular Hantane Forest area and onward to region of Pusselawa. Stay overnight at the Lavendar House set on a tea estate in Pusselawa. After resting, explore the surrounding Helboda Tea estate and tea factory where you will gain insight into the manufacturing process as well as an opportunity to taste the different grades of hill country tea.

Day 3Ride on to Nuwara Eliya. Few, if any, small islands have as much geographical diversity and Sri Lanka’s tea-growing hills offer breathtaking landscapes. Cycling into the highlands from Kandy you will Sri Lanka at its most dramatic: a land of gurgling mountain streams and steep hillsides cloaked in luminous green tea, sweet-scented Cyprus and Eucalyptus trees. Nuwara Eliya, nestled at the foot of a mountain, was made into a summer retreat by the British in the early 1800s and much of its colonial character still remains. Check into St. Andrews hotel where you will rest overnight.

Day 4 & 5The wild expanse of Horton Plains National Park, more than 7,000 feet above sea level, offers a memorable start to the following day. Cycle to the 'World's End' and "Little World's End" offering one of the finest views in Sri Lanka. With a mixture of grasslands and forests, including the last montane forest in the country, Horton Plains have a healthy variety of birds to watch. Just 20 kilometres from Nuwara Eliya, the park offers the chance to observe five endemic bird species that can be seen only at this altitude. Mammals include plenty of Sambar, the Slender Loris, Bear Monkey and, occasionally, a Leopard. This is the only National Park in Sri Lanka where visitors are allowed to roam around freely inside. The cycling journey finally ends in Kitulagala situated in the western foothills of the central highlands. You will stay two nights at the Plantation Hotel perched right on the banks of the Kelani River. Kitulgala is an area with tropical rainforests, winding rivers and an undulating terrain and owes its popularity to the Kelani River which offers exciting rapids for rafting. This stretch of the River Kelani offers grade 3/4 rapids, and is therefore great for beginners and experienced rafters alike. The calm sections of the river meander through jungle-clad mountains, low country tea and rubber plantations.

Day 6 & 7After an adventurous cycling journey, today you head to the North West coastal town of Negombo for two nights rest and relaxation on the beach. We recommend Brown’s Beach hotel situated just half and hour from the international airport. Explore Negombo’s quaint fishing villages or join a fisherman on his catamaran as it sets sail into the sunset. You may like to take a boat ride along the old Dutch canals that criss-cross the local area, or experience Negombo's Colonial heritage including Catholic churches and the ruins of the Dutch Fort.
