A fascinating climb of moderate difficulty, possible in a single day if you begin by 9am from Bambarella. The first two peaks are thee highest of the five peaks and the paths is clear until the Peak 2. Other three peaks may not be possible for a day hiker, with the path being less clear down towards the fifth peak. Visibility from the Peakswould be tricky due to intermittent mist. And the ideal time would be Feb/March and August /Sept. A more adventurous time would be mid December however[Waters would be alive but leech activity could be high at the foot hills]

Had a blast camping for two days in Knuckles Mountain Range! The views were amazing, and the peaceful vibes made it super memorable. If you go, pick clear days to enjoy the scenes without mist.
Make sure to carry water, a light rain cover, and some easy snacks.
Big shoutout to my guide, Janaka—he was awesome and knew so much! He made the trip even better with all his cool info.
Saw some cool lizards, frogs, and monkeys, plus lots of flowers and waterfalls. The fresh air made me feel alive.
Even with some mist, the whole journey was awesome, and I'm already excited to go back. Totally recommend Knuckles Mountain Range for anyone who loves nature, camping, and making great memories!

Enjoy the luxury of undisturbed nature in the central highlands of the country. Knuckles mountain range is a famous hiking spot amongst the travel community here in Sri Lanka. Famous dumbara ella and duwili ella located in the knuckles mountain range. Hike starts for the village called 'atanwala' and a minimum of 3 days will be required to enjoy the beauty of knuckles mountain range and hiking towards duwili ella. Precautions should be taken for leech attacks and best to avoid heavy rainy days.

We booked a one day hike to knuckles mountain range with our hotel McLeod Inn based in Kandy . Our tour was organised by Ashan at a very late notice and he did a great job .! This was only the beginning of what was one of the best and most epic hikes we have ever done . Almost all of it was down to our guide Ranjan. Firstly you definitely need a guide to do a hike . Secondly , Ranjan is one of the best guides we have come across during all our travels . Ranjan has vast knowledge and experience of the the Knuckles area having worked there for over 15+ years . We are a fairly experienced and fit hiking loving couple , however we had underestimated the challenges posed by Knuckles . We didn’t need to worry about this for one moment as Ranjan had all bases covered . We ended up doing a 7 hour hike covering approximately 17kms , hiking to 2 peaks with lunch included . On the way we saw some really diverse flora and fauna including an almost encounter with a leopard . The hike ended with a nice cool down at one of the many waterfalls . A truly mesmerising experiencing and a must for hikers visiting the cultural region . We would recommend using Ranjan as he’s the best local guide around .

We had a day hiking in the Knuckles mountain range. We were lucky to have beautiful sunny views across the mountain range from “Time Mountain”. We hired a guide for the trek, which was really useful (we would highly recommend organising this). Our guide provided us with a packed lunch and leech socks, which proved very useful in the end. We passed through a mountain village, crossed a river and a few waterfalls and had 360 views over the village when we climbed up to the summit. The wildlife was also amazing! So many animals to see in their natural habitat.

you could bring food ,Water may not be a necessity as there are quite a few pristine water sources.As there is no rubbish collection point anywhere you would need to bring back plastic /polythene home.

Hello, I'm going to visit this area in December, and we have only 2 days to spend in Kandy; I'm interested in a hiking trail for one of the 2 days (6-8 hours long in total) - what do you recommend? Does they have names? Where are the start points and how can we reach them? Could someone tell me if it's something we can do ourselves or do we need some local guide for that? Are the trails marked as they are in Europe? Is it safe to do it without a guide? Thank you for any useful information you can share!

Knuckles mountain range offers 2,4 or 6 hour treks. Starting point at Hunnasgiriya. Best is to hire a local guide.
