Feel the rush of adventure
Downhill mountain biking is one of the most extreme and exciting styles of mountain biking. While this extreme sport is enjoyed at a challenging level by professionals, we have created this experience to be enjoyed by anyone who can ride.
Our adventure takes place on the infamous Sri Lanka Gravity Trail. The trail that we will be following is of an international standard and is a culmination of the natural trail with some features added on for safety and adherence to parameters. It is the only downhill track in Sri Lanka.
Bikers will enjoy freewheeling down this track as pedaling is at a minimum. There’s no need to be anxious as our experts are on hand to provide you with instructions on everything you need to know about downhill mountain biking. The bikes and safety equipment will be provided by us as part of the package.
Operation Hours
Mountain biking is available during daylight hours when trail visibility is good, typically from 8:00 AM to 4:00/5:00 PM, to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.

Perfect blend of speed and scenery
Downhill biking at Kitulgala was such a rush. The trail was well-chosen, challenging but fun, with jungle views and river crossings along the way. The team ensured safety while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. It felt like a true adventure rather than a tourist activity. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Had a fantastic day downhill mountain biking with Rapid Adventures! From the first hello at the Action Center to the final ride back, the service was excellent. The guides gave us a proper rundown on how to handle the bikes and navigate the trail. The uphill truck ride was scenic, and the downhill biking was thrilling but safe. The trail was fun, the views were amazing, and the team made everything easy and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be doing this again soon!

A must do if you're in the area! Rapid Adventures offered a well planned and adrenaline filled mountain biking tour. We started at their Action Center with a helpful team who provided great gear and a clear briefing.
