We had a fantastic day with Vishwa on a cross country mountain bike tour in the mountains around Kandy. The scenery was spectacular: tea plantations, smaller villages, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Bikes provided were very high quality hard tail Scott bikes in excellent working condition - basically brand new. Snacks and water were provided. We’d highly recommended riding with Vishwa - if we had the time we’d definitely do another day!!

I had a fantastic ride with Vishwa and it will definitely be one of the top highlights of my trip. From the beginning his communication was great and prompt, I was staying slightly outside of Kandy but because it was just me he organised to meet me out there and we started the ride from my accommodation which was great, but also meant we rode a lot of hills! We rode around the Hantana Ranges, through tea fields with lots of climbing, rocky descents and some technical bits it was well tailored to my experience. Vishwa was very knowledgeable, pointing out and explaining many things. We stopped at a local stall for traditional snacks and tea, and again later for a refreshing king coconut. If you are a keen cyclist like me I can't recommend this enough, the bike was good and the trails and views even better. Vishwa is very passionate about mountain biking and trying to help grow the sport in his country, and I wish him all the best in doing so. Thanks again mate!

I booked a long one day ride through Knuckles, and it was absolutely incredible. The bikes are fantastic quality, and right from the beginning a lot of care is taken to make sure you have the right size bike for the trip. Vishwa was an amazing guide, and very patient when I was struggling with some of the more difficult uphill sections of the ride. You’re given plenty of water, and we also stopped for a delicious home cooked lunch in one of the mountain villages. The ride itself took us through tea plantations as well as forest, and the area is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s a fantastic way to see a different side of Sri Lanka, and get a great workout at the same time. Vishwa was an excellent guide, patient and also provided a lot of context for the area with interesting facts and information. If you’re looking for something a little bit more adventurous, I’d 100% recommend booking an MTB adventure with Vishwa, you won’t regret it!

Naturally we were a little apprehensive when deciding to visit Sri Lanka after the April attacks. After a day out with Vishwa we were so glad we came. Cycling among the tea plantations, passing by the locals, swimming under waterfalls, eating in a local home and seeing the rice fields up close were some of the highlights. King coconut juice was the perfect way to replenish ourselves after the ride. Vishwa’s passion for cycling and showing travelers the backroad secrets runs deep. He was well organized and exceeded our expectations. Padded Bike shorts a must. We did the Knuckles tour & would book again.

Wow! We had the best time! Vishwa let us organise the tour super last minute, which was particularly kind as it was during the New Year weekend. We spent the afternoon exploring the hills of Kandy, riding through tea plantations and taking in the views. Some of the uphill climbs were tough, but Vishwa explained the best techniques to get to the top! He also shared an array of facts and info about the area and Sri Lankan history. A wonderful day, couldnt recommend the tour enough. Thank you, Caitlin and Molly
