Exceptional hiking trip in the mountains - 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

Perfect overnight hike - 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.

Great guide! - 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.

A very special experience! - We were surprised and amazed by the diversity of vegetation on our way, from foggy forest, to dry steppe, mountain ranges, to tropical rainforest, to waterfalls. It felt like every hour or so we were in a different beautiful world! Lakmal showed and explained us so many things, I was personally most intrigued by the tasty spices, and fruits that he picked along the way and gave us to taste. We asked him a lot of questions about animals, village life, tea production and he knew so much about all of it. Another favourite was the water pressure massage in one of the waterfalls we passed : ) We stayed in a cute cabin over night, had delicious dinner and breakfast and it was just very magical to spend time in the middle of nature. We are very grateful for the two days, which were so rich and special. I would recommend it to anyone!!

Amazing trek - A wonderful trek in the Knuckles passing through forest, Rocky Mountains, waterfalls, tea plantations, rice fields. We slept in a campsite next to a small village, it was a wonderful moment with the host who taught me how to cook some local recipes (including roti and sambol). Laïlla is a very nice guide who speaks a lot about the history and the culture of the country, I can only recommend to do a hike or trek with him.

Amazing - We dicovered Leopard' poo, had dinner on Leopards rock, spotted a snake that just caught a "squirrel" and saw an amazingly colourful spider in its net from a save distance. The tent to sleep in was placed on a wooden platform with a wooden roof, so that it was protected from wind/rain and no "ground animal" could sneak around the tent during night - felt very save!
