The Kalonda Plateau is one of the most scenic cycling areas of the Salt Region — wild, peaceful, and deeply authentic.
This full-day ride takes you across forests, peat bogs, waterfalls, panoramic ridges, and traditional highland villages. It is a journey through open landscapes where nature feels untouched and time moves at its own rhythm.
Kalonda is not only a cycling destination — it is a living highland world shaped by charcoal burners, shepherd traditions, and small mountain communities.
