스리랑카 최고의 사이클링 경로

Today’s ride was a challenging climb up Mount Knuckles. The first 60 km offered smooth, flat roads along picturesque lakes and rivers — a truly scenic start. The initial section of the climb transitioned to gravel, followed by a rough bitumen surface. The ascent included some extremely steep gradients where walking was necessary. Despite the difficulty, the breathtaking views made it all worthwhile!

The royal ancient city of the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa.

An incredible structure - these three Buddhas carved out of the rock: sitting, standing, lying (dying). In between there is another sitting Buddha. Very symbolic. Highly impressive

The holy pilgrimage site of Kataragama

Beautiful lake with lots of views and the first glimpse of Lions Rock can be seen.

There is a beautiful Buddha statue next to a stupa and towards the entrance of the museum. 30 meters high, built from 1998-2001. There is also a monastery and a school for young monks on the site. Here you can also watch monkeys doing gymnastics on the Buddha. This part of the site can be visited without admission. Entrance to the temple is chargeable. The complex is located just 2 kilometers from the center of Dumballa.

In Sri Lanka, there are many inland freshwater reservoirs, which they call 'tanks'. This road is a particularly scenic one, taking you right alongside Kandamala Tank, where you can see lots of bird life from herons and egrets to pelicans! Savour the views on this smooth tarmac.

Great accommodation in a great region
