Batticaloa – Towards Mylambaveli

Here our guide takes you for the day, to show you around the small lanes and hidden treasures of the neighbouring villages in Batticaloa…

The bicycle rides are around 20 to 25 km long, split in various stretches of 4 to 5 km. For people who would be unable to ride bicycles, we can do the same itineraries by 3-wheeler, but bicycle is more fun!

In 'Towards Mylambaveli', the slow pace of travelling by bicycle will enable you to interact with people at work, by meeting handicraft makers and farmers.

After a quiet walk in the bird sanctuary, you will participate in an offering ceremony at the Hindu temple, while your lunch is prepared by a local family. After a healthy village lunch and a funny chat with your host family, you will visit the nearby farm. On weekdays, you will meet craftswomen, who will show you how to make beautiful baskets and boxes out of palmyrah leaves. You will then ride back to Batticaloa along a stunning deserted beach and observe birds and wildlife as you peacefully move along our gorgeous lagoon.
