Kayaking in Sri Lanka on The Castlereagh Lake

Kayaking on Castlereagh Lake

Magnificent views and blissful serenity

Enjoy magnificent views of tea-carpeted mountains as you paddle along the Castlereagh Lake in hi-spec kayaks. Mornings are most beautiful as the weather is often fairer and the sun breaks through to gleam over the glassy water, and the foreboding mountains surrounding the lake emerge from the thinning mist. Kayaking can be enjoyed and experienced in the company of one of our resident Trail Guides who will provide safety instructions as well. All our kayaks are two-person kayaks which also make for an ideal activity suited toward couples or families..

THINGS TO NOTE

It is advisable guests inform their butler and confirm by afternoon the day prior to the experience.
Start point will be the Castlereagh Lake dock (Castlereagh Bungalow or Summerville Bungalow)
Approx. travel times from Tientsin 60 mins, Norwood 40 mins, Dunkeld 10 mins.
