In May 2012, 5 cyclists cycled from the Southern tip of Sri Lanka, up through the mountains of Nuwara Eliya, and to Point Pedro at the Northernmost part of the island.
The Route: Â Dondra > Ratnapura > Nuwara Eliya > Kandy >Point Pedro
The objective of the adventure was to raise awareness and funds for Practical Action, a UK-registered NGO which works across different parts of Sri Lanka to find practical solutions to poverty. They build the technical skills of the poor, thereby enabling them to improve the quality of their lives and that of future generations.
Bamboobee is privileged to be associated with this meaningful adventure. Our bamboo bicycles ensured a comfortable ride to all the cyclists as they traversed the rugged terrains of Sri Lanka.
