Hike in the Knuckles Mountain Range
Lace up your walking boots and come on a fantastic hike in the Knuckles Mountain Range, a 2-hour drive from Kandy. The mountain range resembles a fist with five knuckles, hence the name. It has some fantastic walks and consists of 34 mystical mountains ranging from approx. 900 to 2,000 metres. The area is known for its amazing nature and varied flora and fauna, of which some of the species are endemic to this area. The Knuckles Mountain Range is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Your guide/driver will pick you up from the hotel and drive you to the place where the hike starts.
Over the next 2-3 hours, you’ll hike through hilly terrain through rice fields, tea plantations and coniferous forests, passing picturesque villages, cloud forests with low-hanging clouds, gushing waterfalls and clear streams. Remember to bring your swimwear and towel in case you fancy going for a dip. Along the way, you might get to see deer, buffalo, monkeys, wild boar and various species of birds.
At midday, you’ll head back to the car and be driven to a small, local restaurant, where you’ll enjoy today’s lunch.
You will then be driven back to the hotel in Kandy.
The tour is intended for those used to hiking in hilly terrain. Remember to bring plenty of water and perhaps some light snacks.
