Spectacular views and a wonderful area for birds of every kind. Mr Sumane Bandara is the expert guide of the area and has a Guest House and Expedition Center in Kandy and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting to arrange tours of anywhere in Sri Lanka.

We decided to do our own trip to Knuckles as the guided trekks are so expensive amd we are travelling on a budget! We took a bus to Rangala and had a walk up the mountains from there. It was really great and we met a lovely local who showed us round and took us to his house for tea... More

Liked the wonderful scenery especially when viewed from the observation car in the train. A refreshing change from the heat of Colombo

It is a beautiful mountain landscape, with no one around. We didn't expect to be attacked by leeches though! They are active in the early morning before the soil gets warm.

Natutre's vividity at its best with breathtaking views & vistas with vast range of biodiversity. Steep slopes , cloud capped mountain tips, frequent mist & waterfalls drive you crazy.

It was an amazing jungle trekking with the Eco Adventure Sri Lanka team. We have enjoyed a lot by camping on the top of a misty mountain.
