Adrenaline Memories to cherish with New Year Celebrations....By Tomifrom Sri LankaApril 18, 2023We were in Hatton in April and it was the Sinhalese & Hindu New year when we embark on the ride in Dickoya. Though the tea plantations were empty due to the holiday, we were lucky enough to witness various customs and traditons bond with the new year celebrations. The route was a bit challenging but almost no traffic led us for a leisure ride with our guide who is well experienced and knowledgeable. It was a remarkable experience.Date of Experience: April 14, 2023
