5.00We took Pasindu on a beautiful bike ride through tea plantations to a hidden waterfall. After a refreshing dip at Aunti we had an authentic curry cooked on wood fire !!! We also learned a lot of valuable information about the country and people, thank you Pasindu đ
Wonderful cycle with a great guide.

5.00What a fantastic morning cycle from Ella to Kombukara with our great guide Pasindu. We stopped at various places to take photos and talk about the landscape. We stopped for watermelon at a small vegetable and fruit shop in Ballaketuwa. Pasindu showed me so many different types of produce, a real education. From there we continued to Kambukara waterfall for a cup of tea before climbing (by foot) up to the falls for a cool & refreshing dip. Lunch was taken at the bottom of the falls, a delicious meal cooked over a wood fired cooker in a tiny kitchen by a delightful lady. We returned back to Ella the same way. The whole trip was breathtaking. The ride is about 21k.

5.00This is one of the best biking tour experiences I have ever had. Itâs a beautiful ride. The guides are the best. The bikes were good. The lunch is one of the best meals Iâve had on my holiday and it was a great value. Itâs a mix of tea, plantations, small villages in natural waterfall.
