Cyle or walk through the emerald hills of Kandy and witness how tea is made

This could be conducted either as a Biking Trail or a Trekking Trail.

The Hantana Hills rise above Kandy and offer a verdant green backdrop to this culturally rich town. Our trip takes you to the top of the Hantana Hills, from where you can appreciate the magnificent panoramic views of Kandy City and the flexed fist of the mighty Knuckles Mountain Range. The cycle ride follows a trail leading through Hantana's famous grasslands and forests, past rural village homes and to verdant green tea estates, where scores of multicoloured tea pickers go about their daily work plucking the top leaves and bud of these iconic green bushes. From here we will continue to cycle through the beautiful tea estates with the choice of following an optional 9km ascending trail that takes us up to the Pitawella rock pools and waterfall. This is a perfect place for an invigorating natural shower and a well-earned picnic lunch. After a delicious lunch we will continue along the tea trails, where once again the routes are optional as there are is an off-road trail for cyclists looking for more of a challenge. Both routes end at the estate's tea factory where we can stop and sample the refreshing local brew and have a tour of the factory to see exactly how this delicious tea is produced.

Total cycling distance 26km. [3 ½ Hours- Moderate to Hard Cycling Route]
