I joined the 3-day trek with my two teenage kids, and we all loved every minute. The landscape kept changing—grasslands, pine forests, waterfalls—and our guide made it fun, safe, and truly unforgettable for all of us.

EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Bridget LVerified Three day hike of Knuckles Ranges with Trek Knuckles I did the three day, two night Knuckles trek and it was incredible! The first day started with a stunning tuk tuk ride through tea plantations up to the base of the knuckles ranges. We then started a steep, challenging uphill hike through the forest with five waterfall stops along the way followed by a gradual downhill through diverse landscape to the base camp. Day two was a challenging up hill hike with amazing view points along the way. Day three was a decline back into the village - stopping at waterfalls along the way plus a village lunch stop. The base camp accomodation is simple and traditional. The manager Wasange was delightful, friendly and helpful as well as an INCREDIBLE cook. I can’t recommend my guide Supun enough. I was travelling solo and he made me feel completely at ease as well as being full of knowledge on the many different trees, spices, birds and other animals spotted along the way. He was funny, relaxed, accommodating and just a wonderful person to spend time with. Trek Knuckles were very easy to communicate with as well as being the best price that I was able to find when comparing a few companies. Enjoy!Posted on Tripadvisor Explorer12475369106Verified Winderful trip Hiking in the heart of the Sri Lankan jungle and local encounters. Guided by the patient steps of our companion Charles, we discovered much more than plants, spices, or traditions. We met women and men with immense smiles, sincere eyes, and disarming generosity. This encounter will remain etched in us as an essential reminder: true luxury is humanity, sharing, and the sincerity of connections. Charles is without a doubt one of the best guides we have met. Professional, passionate, and deeply attached to his country, he shares his love for Sri Lanka with remarkable generosity.Posted on Tripadvisor sarah gVerified Incroyable Carlos est le meilleur guide au monde ! Nous avons appris tellement de choses avec lui. Sans parler de sa gentillesse et de sa bienveillance. La randonnée est incroyable un moment extraordinaire.Posted on Tripadvisor GoPlaces18086822886Verified Best guide and trek in the knuckels Charles was an excellent guide. He knew from the beginning the kind of people we were and gave us the most wonderfull experience. From tracking mountain leopards through their poo (porcupine) to protecting us from leeches and finding alternative routes to support me during my pregnancy.. i wish in stead of one week with charles, we stayed a complete 3 in Sri Lanka to learn from him and trek with him. Knowledge of local plants and trees, being an essential part of the local community and helping us being a little part too in contributing, is the best memory we have from a threeweektrip to Sri Lanka. We will cherish these memories forever!
