Hello!
I’m Saranga, an English-speaking guide from the Anuradhapura area. Join me on a mountain bike adventure through the ancient UNESCO World Heritage City of Anuradhapura, where history, culture, and nature come together beautifully.
Our hidden-route mountain bike tours take you beyond the usual paths, letting you discover secret temples, serene lakes, and local life at your own pace. We provide a professional mountain bicycle experience with top-quality bikes from trusted brands such as Giant, Trek, and Louis Garneau.
Our 10 km loop tour lasts about 4½ hours, covering all the must-see attractions within the heritage site — the perfect balance of exploration, exercise, and enjoyment.
Come ride with us and experience Anuradhapura like never before!

The best way to tour Anuradhapura

5.00This was definitely a highlight of my trip in Sri Lanka! Loved the history and Stories Saranga shares of this beautiful and most significant historical, cultural, and religious site. Biking is the best way to explore Anuradhapura. We biked through rice fields, lakes, and villages to visit different archaeological sites, something you can’t do in a car or tuktuk! And thank you Saranga for helping me sort out my transport to Negombo!
Great tour!

5.00Our guide was super friendly and knowledgable about Buddhism and all the buddhist building, ruins and customs. We learned and experienced so much and touring the surroundings by bike was really the best experience. We rode through sun and an enormous downpour, which was both enjoyable. We also really loved the local meal. Overall, a really superb experience! Highly recommended.
Perfect way to get to know the Ancient City

5.00What a surprise! By far the best visit of my stay in Sri Lanka: rich in history, discovery, religion, landscape, you pass through a village, along a lake. Everything was perfect. Doing Anuradhapura in this way is the best way to visit the city.
One of the best experiences you will do in Sri Lanka!

5.00Could not have asked for a better morning for a exploration of all the major sights in Anuradhapura. Saranga was knowledgeable about the archeology and history of the sight as well as SriLankan Budism in general and delivers it all with a smile. Strongly recommend to anyone who visiting who wants a fun and educational tour. With the bonus of cycling in some clean air and through off the beaten track spots !
