Biciklizam iz Bentota City

Clip into the saddle and spend four hours pedalling through the quieter side of Bentota — a private cycling tour that keeps you well off the resort strip. Your route winds past lush paddy fields and rubber plantations, through a working cinnamon garden, and into a traditional fishing village, with a stop at a Buddhist temple along the way. A backup vehicle and first-aid crew follow throughout, so you can ride at a comfortable pace and soak in the scenery. Minimum age is five, and the tour is conducted in English. Cycles, a cycling guide, the backup truck, first-aid support, and refreshments are all provided — bring your own snacks or drinks if you'd like extras. arranges everything so you simply show up and ride, returning with a genuine feel for the rural communities and working landscapes that sit just beyond Bentota's beaches. The ride starts at 8.00 am in Bentota, where your cycling guide meets you with the bikes and the backup vehicle, and you are back in town by about 12.00 noon. In the paddy fields a farmer explains how the monsoon rains shape the rice seasons, and at the old Kande Vihara temple a monk shows you the image house and tells its history. At the cinnamon garden you see how the bark is peeled and graded, and fresh cinnamon is on sale. At a toddy collection point you watch the sap being drawn from coconut palms and can taste fresh and aged toddy. In the rubber plantation you see latex tapped from the trees and then processed at a small rubber factory, before the ride ends at a fishing village with its boats drawn up on the shore. The order of the stops may change slightly on the day.
