The Knuckles Mountain Range is one of Sri Lanka’s most ecologically significant and scenically dramatic landscapes, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This vast wilderness encompasses cloud forests, misty valleys, cascading streams, traditional farming villages and endemic species – including rare orchids, birds and reptiles found nowhere else in the world. The range offers some of the island’s most rewarding trekking routes, from gentle village walks to multi-day ridge crossings through dense montane forest.
