While the Galle Coast attracts many tourists, the countryside just inland offers a tranquil escape that showcases authentic rural life.
Experience the charm of this area on a bike, pedalling along a 6km trail that winds through lush paddy fields, cinnamon plantations, and quaint villages with local markets and temples. This easy yet invigorating route allows you to stop and sample refreshing King Coconut, immersing you in the local culture.
You’ll cross a natural lake bund to observe the fishing community and their way of life. To conclude your adventure, hop into a kayak to explore the tropical flora and fauna of the area. Gliding through the pristine mangrove forest and across the remote lake is a highlight of this experience. Snacks and refreshments await you at the end, with bikes and safety equipment provided for your comfort.
