About this experience

Pedala attraverso uno dei più grandi tesori archeologici dello Sri Lanka in questo tour privato di ciclismo di 2,5 ore a Polonnaruwa. La tua guida esperta ti conduce lungo l'intero percorso passando i palazzi crollanti, le dagobe e le sculture in pietra che una volta definirono il secondo grande regno medievale dell'isola. Una mountain bike e un casco sono forniti, così puoi concentrarti sulle rovine piuttosto che sulla logistica. Ogni ciclista riceve una bottiglia d'acqua per mantenerti in forma durante il tour.

Il percorso si estende fino all'enorme bacino del Parakrama Samudra, dove la tua guida condivide la storia dietro questo antico capolavoro dell'ingegneria, poi si snoda attraverso la campagna pulita e verdeggiante che circonda il sito patrimoniale. Il tour è privato, si svolge in inglese e accoglie ciclisti di otto anni e oltre. Nota che i biglietti d'ingresso, i trasferimenti in hotel e i pasti non sono inclusi.
