Overview
The Knuckles Mountain Range is a vitally important conservation area, recognised as a National Heritage and Wilderness Area by UNESCO.
A great addition to your list of “things to do in Kandy”. Backpacking in Knuckles, is to experience every forest range type found in Sri Lanka, travelling from 250 to 4,000 feet above sea level. This trekking trail will mean experiencing different climatic zones - unique to the Knuckles Mountain Range and it's a magical trail to do bird watching as well. This wonderful range covers almost every forest type found in Sri Lanka at elevations ranging between 250 and 4,000 feet. A walk through the Pitawala Pathana – the island’s largest dry pathana plains – will let you glimpse the 1,500ft sheer drop to the Puwakpitiya valley below. Fantastic, moderate treks which will help you burn your extra calories gained during your holiday.

Climbing Manigala is a rewarding experience. It lets you enjoy the true beauty of the Knuckles Range. The beautiful “Thelgamu Oya” (river) and the paddy fields with the mountains in the backdrop at the traditional villages will simply take your breath away. The panoramic view of the Knuckles Range from the top of Manigala; the unique flat area on the top of the mountain which resembles the spine of an elephant and the rich diversity of vegetation - are some of the other highlights of the Knuckles trek. At the conclusion of the exhilarating trek to Knuckles, we retire into a small beautiful guest house to relax and enjoy our lunch prior to departure.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
