Back on the bikes we head through
tea plantation country. The short climb to Lipton’s seat
is well worth the visit. The seat is named after

the highest of the 100 waterfalls which can be found on

towards the coast and Yala National Park. Yala has the
highest concentrations of leopard in the world (approx

or to split your day into morning and afternoon drives.
Your best chance to see a leopard is generally early in
the morning and then again at dusk. The male leopards in Yala are very confident and are often seen walking the
tracks during the day. Young males in particular seem to
have no fear of the jeep, which can lead to some
excellent photographic opportunities. Along with
leopards there is also a also a substantial elephant
population along with spotted deer, samba, wild buffalo,
sloth bear, jackal, mongoose, pangolins and crocodiles.

Day 11 takes us out onto the coast road where we will
still be able to experience the damage caused by the
Tsunami. However, buildings are being repaired and
business and people living on the coast, are up and
running. Amongst the people who have rebounded
back from the Tsunami disaster are the fascinating stilt
fishermen of Unawatuna. Unawatuna Bay has
beautiful sun drenched beaches and is lined with
majestic coconut groves.

The final day on the bikes sees us
follow the coast road back to Negombo. We will
visit the Kosgoda Turtle Research Centre which was
destroyed by the Tsunami. Thankfully, they were
soon up and running and are continuing there work
protecting five endangered turtle species including the
beautiful Leatherback turtle. One encouraging and
slightly surprising sign is that since the disaster the
number of turtles coming back to the beach has been more
than before the disaster and so the volunteers and staff
are optimistic that with help to rebuild they can
continue successfully in the future.
