An absolutely amazing adventure. The first day of the hike (~20km) was tough but went deep into the park including the highest point of the Knuckles. Very few other operators actually go into the wilderness, which was a special treat. We also hiked through tea plantations, paddy, Tamil and Sinhalese villages, and swam in two amazing natural swimming holes. The campsite and meals were also great. 100% recommend without hesitation - worth every penny!

I did the ‘two days one night hike’ in Knuckles Forest as a solo traveler. Lakmal is a really good guide. He has a good eye for spotting small animals. Also I learned a lot about plants what I really liked and tasted wild growing fruit and spices. Also the meals were really good and in the evening we had good conversation! He even bought glue to fix my shoe sole which got loose and helped me with my fear of leeches :). He did really his best to make it a good experience! The hike itself was really beautiful, but it was hard! I am beginner with some (shorter) hike experience! But I managed and wil do again :). The next day hike was easier. Also took swims in waterfall and natural pool. With free foot spa from the fish haha.

Amazing trip with friendly and knowledgeable guide We had an unforgettable experience on this beautiful trail full of nature We stayed in an ecolodge on top of the mountain Though amenities were basic, everything was taken care of exceptionally by our guide Lakmal with the assistance of the local caretakers of the lodge. They provided us with hot water for bath manually, cooked amazing meals full of variety and fresh ingredients , even gave us free bottle of local Arrack to enjoy! Lakmal is an exceptional hiker himself apart from being a great host. Highly recommend this hiking tour to anyone who wishes to explore the beautiful landscape of the Sri Lankan wild forests

Lakmal took me on an overnight trip through knuckles. He shared his knowledge and experience as he pointed out wildlife and all of the local vegetation and a waterfall of course! From pepper to cinnamon it was amazing how much they grow in this small area. Our trip was capped off by a great swim and lunch with a local family. If you like hiking this is a tour for you! Cant recommend enough. I also hiked in Horton Plains with Lakmal and recommend it as well.

We had a really good time! It was beautiful. The weather on the first day wasn’t so good, the clouds abstracted the veiw, and the rain made many leaches come out. But with good protection provided to us, we were fine. The guide was great, knew to tell us all about the plants and some animals along the trek. The campsite was really nice as well. And the food that we got was delicious.
