Paseo rápido en bici de Valvettithurai a Point Pedro

Kick off your ride from Valvettithurai, a coastal town in northern Sri Lanka that's known as the birthplace of the LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran and for its storied fishing heritage. The route to Point Pedro is a laid-back 10.4 km spin, tracking almost parallel to the northern coastline—so expect plenty of sea breeze and big skies as you pedal.

You'll be rolling mostly on quiet roads, perfect for soaking in the scenery with minimal traffic distractions. Aside from a couple of gentle ups and downs (you’ll hardly notice the ascent and descent), it’s as flat and easy as it gets. Surfaces are a bit mixed, and some sections might not be fully paved, so a bike with slightly wider tires is handy.

Your destination, Point Pedro, is the northernmost point of Sri Lanka, famous for its iconic lighthouse and sandy beaches. Pause for a moment at the Point Pedro lighthouse and take in the view—the northern tip of the island is a memorable spot to end your ride. Don’t forget to explore the local markets or grab a fresh coconut before you head back!
