with rubber plantations or paddy fields or of you are seeking more of a
challenge, the Sri Lankan hill country locations offer a number of
steeper trails that are only suitable for more experienced mountain
bikers.

lankan elephant back, a unique game viewing the landscapes around the
rural areas of Habarana or step in to the jungle.Guests have the
opportunity to get up close and personal, with these ancient large
mammals as the Elephant Back Safari experience is more than just an
elephant ride.

campsite. Trekking combines hiking and camping in a single trip. A
backpacker hikes into the backcountry to spend one or more nights there,
and carries supplies and equipment to satisfy sleeping and eating
needs. If you are experienced on High Rope or Aerial Rope Adventure,
there are both individual and group activities which range from ground
level to high up in the trees, situated in the sheltered woods of Ella ,
Kitulgala and Kuruwita - which are most popular for rope adventure.
These places offer another popular adventure activity o Rock climbing.
Rock climbing, broadly speaking, is the act of ascending steep rock
formations. Normally, climbers use gear and safety equipment
specifically designed for the purpose.
For the lovers of white water rafting, kitulgala is the
ideal place. Strewn with rock formations and full of rapids, as well as
surrounded by tall bamboo trees, this second largest river in the
country provides the resources for the white-water rafting capital of
Sri Lanka.
