Starting from Kandy, the journey begins with an approximately one-hour drive through scenic landscapes, passing natural rivers, streams, paddy fields, spice villages, and gardens that showcase the region’s rich agricultural heritage. The trek officially begins at Rangala Village, the last settlement in the Knuckles Mountains, where tea plantations mark the start of the mountainous adventure. Around 10:30 am, there is a rest stop at a scenic viewpoint, offering stunning vistas of the Ranagala forests and parts of the Knuckles Reserve, providing the perfect opportunity to take photos and soak in the natural beauty before continuing the hike.
As the trek resumes, travelers are immersed in the diverse flora and fauna of the Knuckles Reserve, with the rocky terrain revealing small waterfowl and other unique wildlife. The route then leads to a waterfall via more challenging trails, offering a refreshing spot to rest and bathe while appreciating the surrounding natural beauty. After exploring these key highlights of the Knuckles Reserve, the group returns along alternate trails to Rangala Village, concluding the trek around 3:30 pm. From there, participants board the vehicle and drive back to Kandy, arriving around 4:30 pm, completing a full day of adventure, nature, and breathtaking scenery in Sri Lanka’s iconic mountain range.

-Beautiful day hike near Kandy (1.5 hours by car). Excellent English-speaking guide đź‘Ś I highly recommend it.
We had a very nice two day trip with Rane and Sunil to the Knuckles Range, down to Knuckles Base Camp - where we stayed for the night - and further down for a nice bath at a beautiful waterfall the second day. Everything was planned well, on time and as described before. Got some good explanations about plants and some animals on the way. Overall a good experience that I would recommend.
We went on a one day hike through some villages, mountains and it was the best possible experience ever (I mean in life and in Srilanka). Ruwan and his friend were reliable, friendly, responsive .. I actually could not wish for anything more. The hike was quite hard, the weather was hot and humid, but it was exactly what we wished for regarding the scenery, hike in general, we got to know the locals etc. I really recommend Ruwan and his services for trekking on Knukles.
Amazing day of hiking with Ruwan and his team! Private tour well organised and full of lovely views in the Knuckles! All the day was awesome, front the collection in Kandy to the end of the activity. Ruwan was really knowledgeable about the natural around the mountains, fauna a local plantations. We did have a lovely chat about how the local communities, and how they have developed in the area and we have a lovely swim with Picnic, surrounded by nature, monkeys included! It was a pity that we did only a day hike, as the knuckles can give definitely more if they are visitors for a few days extra!
