Stories from the Trail
“A highlight of my Sri Lanka trip! Sena’s 2-day, 1-night trek in the Knuckles Mountain Range was a real highlight. We reached incredible viewpoints, visited countless waterfalls, and enjoyed delicious food. Sena is friendly, adventurous, and very knowledgeable.
“Amazing trekking experience. Excellent one-day trek in the Knuckles Mountain Range. The 17km hike included transport, breakfast, and lunch, and took us through villages and beautiful mountain landscapes. A well-organised and memorable experience.
“Great hike experience in Sri Lanka. We did a day hike in Knuckles and had a fantastic experience. The hike was challenging but very rewarding. Sena was a great guide-very informative and knowledgeable about the forest.
