Rural Biking

Take a ride through the leafy, scenic back-roads of a typical southern village that lies inland from Weligama. The 15 km trail snakes its way alongside lush rice paddies, rubber and cinnamon estates, small-holder plantations and home gardens, places of worship, rural homes   – several that feature architecture from traditional as well as colonial styles – and other points of interests such as the local “kadey” – i.e. a small scale local “boutique” that is at the heart of day to day necessities of village life. Have a coconut drink from the local shop!!! The highlight of the trip is an elevated lookout beside a small lake covered with Lilies and Lotuses. The lake and surrounding rice paddy fields also provide ample opportunity to witness some of the local birdlife.
