After Bhutan, Vietnam, Kathmandu and Khardungla from 2015 to 2019, eight cyclists of Bhubaneswar Cycling and Adventure Club (BCAC) recently completed a Buddhist trail in Sri Lanka.
With “Reconnecting Buddhism” as their theme, they covered 800 km of the most significant Buddhist monuments and Pagodas in the ‘Land of Serendipity’ drawing a route-map of ‘Numeric 8’.
The cyclists who started their adventure from the coastal metropolis of Colombo, covered the Portuguese Fort city of Galle, passed through the beautiful beaches of Matara and Weligama on the spice route through Udawalawe, and Dehiowita to world famous Buddhist heritages in Dambulla, Sigiriya and Kandy before coming back to Colombo to finish their adventure.
“Though language was a problem, the people were warm, humble and helpful,” said Ajay Nanda, secretary of BCAC.
“Despite modernisation, the values and principles are alive in the heart of the general public, displaying a beautiful picture of Sri Lanka to the foreigners and tourists,” said a Bibhu Prasad, a cyclist.
