Moving inland, the Knuckles Mountain Range presents a world of rugged beauty and ecological wonder. Named for its resemblance to a clenched fist, this UNESCO-listed mountain range is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers.

A journey through Knuckles takes visitors deep into mist-covered forests, past cascading waterfalls, and across rolling grasslands. The area is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with endemic species found nowhere else on the island. Hidden villages within the mountains still preserve traditional ways of life, offering a rare opportunity to witness Sri Lanka’s indigenous heritage.

For trekkers, the trails vary from short scenic hikes to challenging multi-day expeditions. Whether reaching viewpoints with breathtaking landscapes or encountering rare wildlife along the way, every step in Knuckles feels like an adventure into the island’s untouched wilderness.
