Trekking & Camping in Knuckles Mountain Range

Overview

Adventure fills your soul…….

Travelling in Sri Lanka is wonderful and the cloudy mountain forests can never be forgotten, not only the sea around the country. Hidden from the world, there exists the amazing hill country, the most alluring natural beauty in Sri Lanka. Mostly concentrated in the Central Province, the altitude of the island distinguishes this placid environment from the rest of the country. We’re not referring to Kandy or Nuwara Eliya or the usual tourist hotspots that people run to, to escape the summer heat, but a place which can make your stay in Sri Lanka remarkably splendid.

In the central and southern parts of Sri Lanka, there are several peaks that are natural and rich in biodiversity. These mountains are conserved as forests and are the catchment areas for many rivers. Knuckles is one the most remarkable ecosystems in Sri Lanka with a range of forest mountains, water sources and wildlife diversity. Loved by travelers for its beauty, the Knuckles Mountain Range has become a hot spot for eco-tourism in Sri Lanka.

The Knuckles Mountain Range is considered one of the toughest hiking trails in the country. It is best attempted by those who have prior experience in hiking. That being said, no matter how experienced you are, it’s mandatory to have a guide. Besides, due to the area’s vastness and the possibility of getting lost, hikers are only allowed to enter the protected reserve with a qualified guide. Failure to do so will land you in trouble with the authorities. Experienced trekkers will assist you at the Knuckles Conservation area which is a famous tourist destination offering jungle treks, mountain climbing and opportunities for overnight camping.

Warmth of the hospitality……….

At the end of your trek, you will reach a rural village where our Team Leader will warmly welcome you to a local villager’s home and brief you on village life .
