Overview
Pedal through lush tea gardens and stunning highland landscapes on a 22 km guided cycling journey around Ella, complete with a dip in a hidden natural pool and a home-cooked local meal.
Venture beyond the popular trails and discover the real Ella on two wheels. This 22 km scenic cycling tour takes you through peaceful villages, sprawling tea estates, and breathtaking mountain vistas that most visitors never see.
Your knowledgeable guide will accompany you throughout, sharing stories about the local tea community, their culture, and the rhythms of highland life. Along the route you will stop at a secluded natural pool and waterfall, perfect for a refreshing swim far from the tourist crowds.
The journey also treats your palate — enjoy fruit tastings, local snacks, and freshly brewed tea or coffee along the way. Midway through the ride, sit down to a Sri Lankan rice and curry lunch lovingly prepared by a village grandmother, or tuck into a bowl of freshly made kottu by a local street chef.
The terrain is easy to moderate, making this experience suitable for most fitness levels. All bicycles and helmets are provided, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure.
