Another amazing ride! Plenty of climbs made it a tough and long day, but the reward came with epic, smooth-surfaced descents. Just one short goat track section where we had to walk—otherwise a brilliant route!

One of the most beautiful rides I’ve ever done—winding through lush tea estates with sections that feel like MTB trails. Lots of climbs, including a solid 23 km ascent up to Nuwara Eliya. Absolutely worth it!

Today’s ride was easy to intermediate. We spent around 2 hours exploring Sigiriya, a stunning 5th-century rock fortress built by King Kasyapa—definitely worth the stop!

Last day of the tour—pleasant ride with undulating hills through the countryside. The final 30 km had heavier traffic and lots of buses, but it still felt safe to cycle. What a fantastic week of bikepacking! 🚴💓
