Highlights
Looking for an easy but delightful bicycle ride that everyone can do? The Paddy Trail is for you. We stick to local paths and quiet lanes on this 11km loop from your base near Yatagala Temple. Beautiful nature, exotic birds, indigenous wildlife, local life – you’ll see it all as you pedal through the Eluvila Bird Sanctuary and meander across the green paddy fields. One highlight is pausing in your private jungle garden. And sipping fresh king coconut under the shady ambalama by a pond of blue water lilies. Can you spot the mango, cashew, cinnamon, banana, jackfruit, calamansi, coconut and pepper trees and bushes?

About Galle
Galle is a southern Sri Lankan port city whose Dutch-era fort, with ramparts above the sea, shelters cafés, churches and old merchant houses.
Galle Fort was started by the Portuguese in the late sixteenth century and extensively built by the Dutch in the seventeenth, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside its thick sea walls, people still live and work among Dutch-style houses, mosques, churches and small galleries. A circuit of the ramparts at sunset, passing the lighthouse and the clock tower, is the favourite local walk.
