About

Choose Elephant stables for a horseback riding operator in Sri Lanka, with its yard on Nittawela Rd in Kandy 20000. The stables sit in the hill country, and the surrounding trails give riders a way to see the landscape from the saddle rather than from a road.

Rides follow routes through the hills around Kandy, and the yard works with riders of different abilities. Guests have left 212 reviews, and the average of 4.5 out of 5 places it among the better-received riding yards on the island. Colombo, Galle and Negombo are among the other places visitors often combine with a stay in Kandy.

Opening hours are not published on the stables' site, http://www.elephantstables.com/, which carries its own information for anyone planning a ride.

For a ride here, bring long trousers, closed shoes with a small heel and a light rain layer, since the central highlands can turn wet without much warning. The hill-country railway line from Kandy to Ella is popular with visitors and offers a slower way to see the same terrain. Coconut, sambol and curry leaves flavour local cooking, and Ceylon tea comes from the central highlands around Kandy.
