You will meet our guide at the Belihuloya Pambahinna junction on time. We start the bike ride after putting on the cycling gear followed by a brief on the safety, trail and pit stops etc.
We cycle past the Sabaragamuwa University and some breathtaking scenic villages to reach the Samanalawewa Lake Dam. Samanalawewa Lake is one of the top places to visit in Belihuloya.
From here, we climb up a few kilometres, through the forest reserve to reach a viewpoint of the magnificent lake. After a little rest, we do a few short uphill and downhill stretches to reach Balangoda/Kalthota road. We cycle on this route to reach Kuragala.
We park our bikes and do the climb to Kuragala Rock. It’s a sacred place for Buddhists and Muslims also.
We take our bikes again and go down the scenic Kalthota Pass until we reach the turn off to the Duwili Ella – one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. We will take a walk to see this magnificent waterfall.
The next lap of the cycling trail is mostly downhill and flat. Upon reaching the Kalthota hamlet, we take the left turn and cycle along a beautiful canal until we reach a newly-built fairly broad tarmac road. We cycle past many interesting landscapes, encountering different villages as we cycle through an Elephant Corridor.
Our final destination on this cycling journey is the Big Game Camp – Udawalawe.
After a short break, you will have your lunch (optional) and continue the journey.
