Additional Information

Situated in the heart of Sri Lanka, specifically within the Matale and Kandy Districts, is the Knuckles Mountain Range. The origin of its name is traced back to its terrain that uncannily resembles a clenched fist’s knuckles when observed from particular vantage points in the Kandy District.

Knuckles mountains exploration is a must do hike by any nature lover. Nipuna Basnayake’s team is brilliant on guiding. - An amazing experience for life. The support we got from our tour guide , Janaka Soyza, was brilliant. A challenging hike, but the experience is just wonderful!

One of the most authentic Sri Lankan experiences we ever had - It was absolutely fantastic- one of the most authentic Sri Lankan experiences we ever had where nature and culture were both present! We booked the trip in the last minute (evening before) after reading an article online. The coordinator called us soon after and sent via whatsapp the itinerary and the price quote and we agreed on a pick up time. The jeep arrived reasonably on time, took us to breakfast, and then to the hike starting point. They distributed special anti-leech socks, water and raincoats for those of us who did not have (it was rainy). The route was not very challenging, the pace was very good and our guide was the best ine we ever had- super kind, knowledgable and entertaining, with insights on both nature and local culture - we saw a the rich variety of flora, the most sweet and smiling locals (much different from those you meet in the hustling towns) and even caught a close glance at an eagle. We had lunch by the waterfall and for the end of the tour some tea to warm us up after the rain that got us quite wet. Despite the rainy weather (we did get quite wet and did not have a change of clothes which would have saved us from being so called on the ride back) and the many leeches (really bear in mind that there are a lot of them and are more disgusting than harmful) the experience was totally worth it and we highly recommend this hike - especially with the great guide (we did not catch his name) we were so lucky to have! :)
