Enchanted Fascinating Sri Lanka - Lakmal was a great guide, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very supportive catering to all different fitness abilities and making sure we were all safe. We had water in the car at all times. He proudly showed us his home country with all its natural beauty and friendly amazing people. The food was good, a bit spicy, but good, amazing fruits!!!! and the lunch at the village in Kandy was out of this world, simple, tasty and serving of the food was organic, I would go back and stay with them. I wish we had more fresh vegetables. We met her female cousin who was also a guide and she was so friendly. Thank her for finding my reading glasses. Overall a fantastic magical experience of enchanted Sri Lanka!!! I would have to go back with more time to discover the other cities.

Very pleasant route through tea plantations and rice terraces with a swim in the river. - It was a very affordable route (about 10km without major slopes) through a really beautiful landscape. In the first stage we toured the tea plantations passing through one of the villages of the plantation's Tamil workers. Then we made a stop at the pools of a mountain river where we bathed. They were not very accessible but enough to cool off comfortably and enjoy the power of the water. In the second stage we changed the area and toured the rice fields that the Sinhalese population cultivates on terraces, given the orography. We finished with a tasty traditional meal at the home of a local family. We were picked up and dropped back at the hotel in Kandy. The trip lasted an hour in a van but it was not difficult.

Fantastic all round - We had such an amazing time on this trip. I would highly recommend this trek, Lakmal really knows his stuff and is a joy to hike with. The highlight was the swim in the natural pool and the home cooked meal at our lively hosts. Would 100% recommend and do again when we come back to Sri Lanka!

Beautiful hike in tea plantations and rice fields near Kandy - I had a great hike with Lakmal around the tea plantations and rice fields in Knuckles range. Lakmal is a very safe and attentive guide, very knowledgeable about the area (fauna and flora, aryuvedic plants, agricultural practices and local village traditions), and it was great chatting with him along the way. I've learnt a lot with him, all while looking at beautiful landscapes ! Along the way I got to taste some fresh cardamon, clove, citronella, coffee bean, cinnamon, and various delicous fruits. We stopped to have a home made lunch in a local village , and it was some of the best food I had in Sri Lanka. It was a great experience, I would completely recommend it to anyone wishing to discover the beauty of Sri Lankan mountain area. Thank you Lakmal and I hope to do another hike with you someday !

Knuckles range - Organised my trip at the last minute when no others would. My guide Wasantha was a really knowledgeable and real joy to spend hours with trekking and talking.

Wonderful trek! - Lakmal the guide was personable, lovely, incredibly knowledgeable about plants history and geography … can’t praise him enough and Leslie the driver courteous

Amazing hike! - Amazing tour! I can only recommend!! The tour guide is very nice, gives you pleanty knowledge on spices, culture, and shows plenty plants along the trek. I got to try pepper, wild strawberries and have many pictures of beautiful flowers. The views are simply incredible, with great variety of what you can see. The highlight of course was swimming in the waterfall! So far, best experience i had in Sri Lanka!!

Great variety! - Tour guide was pleasant to talk to and showed me a lot of interesting plants and animals in Knuckles! Highly recommend it as you also get to see tea plantations and rice fields, which are big industries in Sri Lanka.

Magical - The guided tour was just magical, with eating black pepper directly picked from a bush and spotting red pineapple growing along the wayside
