Horse Riding TourHorseback riding through the surf of a tropical beach as the setting sun kisses the Indian Ocean is an experience you will never forget. And if that isn’t enough, it gets better. The itinerary also includes rides through Anuradhapura and Dambulla, two of our most historic heritage sites, as well as Kandalama Lake, a jungle trail towards Kaldiya Pokuna, and rural paths through the Elephant Corridor around Sigiriya. Horseback beginners and old hands alike will enjoy the back-to-nature thrill of communing with nature as nature intended: with sure-footed four-legged transportation that makes you part of the scenery rather than a motorized intruder. And if all that isn’t enough, there will also be opportunities to exploreKandy, one of our eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, and Nuwara Eliya, the town founded by the colonial British as a summer retreat and known, appropriately, as ‘Little England’.
