Katusukonda is a part of the Hanthana Mountain Range in Sri Lanka, which is a popular destination for adventure lovers. Katusukonda means “lizard’s back” in Sinhala, because it looks like a narrow and rocky ridge. Walking on it can be very risky and thrilling, as you can see the steep drops on both sides. 

Our team is ready to take you on a challenging trek accompanied by stunning views on all sides. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and forests from the top of Katusukonda. 

Katusukonda hiking can be a rewarding experience for those who seek adventure and challenge. It can also be a great opportunity to witness the natural beauty and diversity of Sri Lanka. The edge of the ridge is only about one meter wide. You have to be very careful and confident, as any mistake can lead to unpleasant results. We also advise you to carry enough water, food, and a flashlight as we venture into wild territories.

Join us on this adventure. We can arrange transport to the location from anywhere in Sri Lanka. All we need is your participation.

The story of the Plantation Estate Pattiyagama dates back to a coffee plantation in the 18th Century established by a Welsh planter Dominic Elwes. Sadly, the coffee blight Hemeleia Vastatrix which spread in the 1870s put an end to coffee plantations.

After the protagonist of Ceylon Tea, James Taylor, set sail to Ceylon, the Primal Tea plantation emerged in Ceylon and claimed field No 07 in Loolecondera. This regal embellishment led Ceylon to be the primary Tea producing country under Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s Era.

While on his endeavour to establish Tea plantations in Ceylon, Taylor fell in love with Loolecondera Estate which adjoins the Pattiyagama Estate where he marked his name in gold as the pioneer of the legendary Ceylon Tea. This made the central hill country of Ceylon a piece of heaven on earth. Taylors Seat was where Taylor had foreseen the future of Ceylon Tea when he witnessed the astonishing views of the Hills & Valleys spread out before him.


Taylors Hill

A 19th Century English mansion in the hill country of Kandy which chronicles the story of Ceylon Tea. Come indulge in an experience of luxury.

Luxurious rooms with a touch of British architecture.

As the monsoon season has started in the island, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall in the Kurunegala and surrounding hilly areas. 

Dolukanda is situated in the Hiripitiya village in the Kurunegala district in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. It is an enormous inselberg. According to the legend of this rock it is said that when Lord Hanuman was carrying the Great Himalaya Mountain, some parts of it fell on top of Dolukanda. It is also said that it has herb forests filled with magical herbs with supernatural powers believed to cure any disease.

The hike to the top takes about 2 hours and is quite easy. The summit offers 360 degree views of the surrounding lush green lowlands, and this astounding view of the surrounding landscape will accompany you all the way down Dolukanda’s staggering 350 foot rock wall in the abseiling adventure. 


Extreme

Dolukanda Rock

Our journey begins in Dolukanda Village at around 8AM where we will all meet and get acquainted with each other. 

We hope you are ready for the hike. It will take around 2 hours to complete the 3.7km walk to the summit. 

No activity is enjoyable unless the rules are in place. Our guides and instructors will conduct the session on safety and show you how to use the activity equipment and tools. Listen closely! 

And now we’re ready. Take a step into the unknown and enjoy abseiling down this magnificent 350ft rock wall. 

That is a moment worth remembering. Let’s all get together and capture a group picture and then let’s head back with a lot of memories of a good day.  

Kurunegala

Dolukanda is situated in the Hiripitiya village in the Kurunegala district in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. It is an enormous inselberg.

Dolukanda Hiking and Abseiling Experience

##### Comfortable Clothing
You'll be spending a lot of time in the water and in some muddy places. So bring some appropriate comfortable clothing that won't hinder your movements and that you won't mind getting a bit messy in.

##### You'll need shoes
They'll get wet so don't bring your favourite pair. Rubber slippers (Flip-flops, crocs) are not recommended for this activity.  

##### Cameras!!  
We know that everyone is going to put their phone cameras into overdrive so bring protective covers for them if you plan to take them along for the ride so that you don't have to worry about them in case of rain.

##### Bring along your good spirits and a thirst for adventure
Bring your positivity and smiles and make sure to pack in a bit extra and spread them around. We're going to be all smiles and laughter all through this journey.

The rainforest districts are subject to unpredictable rainfall and this will cause a rise in the water level in these areas which can lead to landslides and other natural disasters.

Visiting the Knuckles Mountain Range is never disappointing. With its range of 34 mountains, there are unlimited opportunities for adventure for those brave enough to seek it. Some paths will challenge you physically while others will challenge the limits of your mind and open it to a new and incredible experience of nature. 

The mountains range from 900 to 2,000 metres in height and you can witness a large variety of animals, trees and plants living in this rich environment which thrives under the protection of environmental laws.  

Today let us embark on a journey to a place in Knuckles which has both natural and historical value. Manigala mountain has a long history associated with the tale of Ravana and is also called Ravanathenna, because it is believed that Ravana landed his legendary vehicle the Dandu Monara on its peak. The name Manigala presumably comes from the word Mani meaning Time in Tamil as Indian Tamils who migrated here as tea workers and for other various jobs, used Manigala to determine the time by measuring the amount of sunlight falling on its face. 

There is a large open space at the peak of Manigala which is affected by high speed and sometimes dangerous winds. The trees at the peak tend to be stunted in their growth because of this. The lack of trees causes the peak to get overheated therefore we recommend making this journey as early in the morning as possible. From the peak you will be greeted by stunning views of the forests and waterfalls, cultivated fields and the entire Knuckles Mountain range which has made it a very popular destination for hiking, camping and photography enthusiasts.

The journey is not difficult and can be attempted with moderate fitness. However if the hike to the ridge which is 1,104 metres high is too daunting, check out some of our other options to explore Knuckles with our Knuckles 5 peaks package and our 2 day camping adventure at Knuckles. 

Come experience the beauty of Manigala with us and make memories to last forever.

Knuckles Mountain Range

- We will begin our hike with a visit to Babarakiri Ella falls which is on the way to the starting point of our hike. 
- We will now begin our trek to Manigala in the Knuckles mountain range
The path that we will follow takes us past a traditional village, paddy fields, and various spice cultivations. 
- After our tiring but enjoyable hike we are rewarded with the stunning views from the top. We have 2 hours to spend at the summit and to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
- After we are well rested and relaxed we can begin our trek back down the mountain to the village where we will be greeted with a delicious and traditionally prepared lunch. 
- Well done everyone. We hope you enjoyed the adventure. It’s time to head home and we hope you will join us on another adventure soon.

One of the most tranquil locations to visit in Sri Lanka is the Negombo Lagoon. If you’re looking for an interesting and relaxing day out, this is the perfect opportunity for you. The fresh water of the lagoon is mainly provided by the rivers Dandugam Oya and Ja-Ela. The Negombo Lagoon and its coastal environment have had a long association with the fishery industry and you will see many sights associated with the day-to-day activities of fishermen. 

Our main attraction on this tour will be the visit to monkey island. A small area of land is mainly inhabited by monkeys who are surprisingly friendly and used to human interaction due to the large number of tourists and visitors in this area. They delight in being fed with fruits and other treats. 

Our tour will take approximately 45 minutes each way. Once we reach the island we will have refreshments while we enjoy the scenery and wildlife. We estimate the whole trip will take around 3 hours in total. 

The experience is well suited to any group as a personal or corporate outing. A relaxing ride while enjoying beautiful sceneries of mangroves and lagoon wildlife in a quiet, peaceful environment. If you wish to enjoy a bit of adventure while you’re here, please consider reserving an evening Kayak ride out on the lagoon. We can incorporate the Kayak adventure into your schedule for a small additional cost.

Not called Sri Lanka’s most dangerous mountain for nothing. This climb is far removed from the usual climbing attractions at Knuckles. Standing at a height of 1310 meters makes it only the 14th highest peak in Sri Lanka, but every experienced climber has declared it the most difficult to summit. The literal translation of Lakegala is the Rock of Lanka. 

Lakegala has a unique triangular shape, which is its most prominent feature and is visible from miles away. Most importantly, unlike its neighboring mountains, Lakegala is the only mountain in the Knuckles mountain range that requires rock climbing techniques to reach the summit. Which means that it is the most challenging climb to attempt in Sri Lanka. Because of its challenging terrain and steep inclines, Lakegala attracts adventure enthusiasts and experienced climbers worldwide.

Do you want to be a part of the crowd who can say that they took on the challenge and completed it? Then come join us on this adventure right away.

Our guesthouse offers accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, with shared washrooms included.

Overnight Stay

Transport from Hunnasgiriya

We will begin our journey from Meemure Village at 6 am, which is where we find the mountain's safest and most popular access road. You can also see the triangular shape of the mountain from the middle of Meemure village.

The first leg of our journey begins with a 5.2 km hike to reach the bottom of Lakegala, and this is the easy part. 

Before we attempt to start climbing, our team will give you a Safety briefing and information on what to expect on this journey. 

Time to start the ascent. We will use scrabbling techniques to take us to the summit.  

We made it! Take this time to enjoy your achievement and take in spectacular views of the Knuckles mountain range, the Dumbara forest, and the surrounding villages. The area has over 50 waterfalls and streams, including the Garadigala Falls, Bambaragath Oya Falls, Dust Falls, Hasalaka Oya Falls, and Huluganga Falls. 

It’s not over yet. We now have a 70 foot abseiling challenge prepared for you to get the best out of this journey. 

We hope you aren’t fully exhausted yet. We still have a hike back to bottom of Lakegala and then back to Meemure from there. You can do it!

Well done! We hope you had a great time!

The best view is from the ledge just before the summit. The view from the actual peak cannot compare to it, but the path drops away to cliffs on both sides which is quite thrilling!

This is a 7km hike that is so difficult and treacherous that one in nine hikers are not able to finish the trek to the peak. Best attempted by the toughest and most experienced hikers. This hike is recommended from January to March but is also available from June to August.

A Hunt for Waterfalls at Meemure

Let’s take a walk through the forest and uncover hidden treasures

An interesting fact : Out of the total land area of the country, Sri Lanka has a forest cover of 29.9% as at 2022, a noticeable drop from 34.16% in 2020 out of which 8.6% is classified as Primary Forest - being the most biodiverse category of forest available.

We are fortunate and blessed to be host to many different species of wildlife in our country and we have created an opportunity for you to witness the untamed beauty of nature in the Udawalawe National Park up close.

The Sri Lankan Elephant is native to our country and is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian Elephant. It is the largest and also the darkest of the Asian elephants, with patches of depigmentation—areas with no skin color—on its ears, face, trunk and belly. Once found throughout the country, these elephants are now being pushed into smaller areas as development activities clear forests and disrupt their ancient migratory routes.

The Udawalawe National park itself is man made and was created to provide a sanctuary for Elephants and other wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River. It is a paradise for wild creatures and is the third most visited park in the country.

The Safari tour will take place in the afternoon as this is the time that the highest number of elephants are reported to be seen around the paths. 

Udawalawe National Park

Our day will begin at the hotel where you can settle in and enjoy your welcome drink after your journey.

Our tour begins in the afternoon approximately around 2pm as evening is the best time to see the Elephants that reside in the park.

The jeeps will arrive and transport you to the park where the tour will begin.

We hope you enjoyed the experience. Lunch or Evening tea (optional) will be served once you reach the hotel.

Time to say goodbye. We hope you had a memorable experience and will carry the beauty of nature with you as you head back to civilization. 

__Note -__ *Use of the hotel facilities (Pool, Day rooms) and meals can be requested and will be charged for separately.*

Elephant Safari at Udawalawa

You will never forget the first time you see an Elephant up close. 

Spend one day with us and we’ll give you an experience to take with you for all the rest of your days. 

Come to Kalupahana, the home of Bambarakanda Falls and Lanka Falls which are two of the most beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka. Join us on this hike along an adventurous trek and it will give you an opportunity to see the highest waterfall in Sri Lanka, Bambarakanda Falls, which has a height of 241 metres and has been recognized as the 299th highest waterfall in the world. Kalupahana is the nearest town to these two waterfalls. (5km away)

The path to these two waterfalls in itself gives hikers an awe-inspiring experience because it has mesmerising sceneries and has a gentle breeze blowing over it. The path makes its way across a dramatic landscape with massive mountain ranges and Pine Forests. Be careful as you navigate through the Pine forests as the Pine leaves tend to make the floor slippery at times. After just a few miles of trekking, you will reach the base of the Bambarakanda Falls. Here, hikers can experience the continuous spray of icy water with the cold breeze and breathtaking view. Especially during the dry season, the rocks of this waterfall form a perfect friendly pool where hikers can enjoy a bath at the edge of the highest waterfall in Sri Lanka.

After trekking through the Pine trees, the hikers will see the Lanka Falls. The Lanka Fall got its name from the shape of the base pool of the fall as it resembles the tear-drop shape of Sri Lanka. Hikers will be visually surrounded by rocks and the beauty of the Lanka Falls. We caution hikers to not be tempted by the water in the pool at the base of Lanka Falls as it is too dangerous for swimming due to the depth of the water.

Kalupahana, Haputale

Welcome hikers. We have a refreshing beverage waiting for you. 

We shall begin our trek on the first part of the trail going on till we reach Yahalathanna falls, the first waterfall in our list. 

Our next stop will be Lanka falls. We will take a rest here for a while to enjoy our picnic lunches. Please do not attempt swimming here as the water is dangerously deep.

We shall continue on our trek till we reach the highlight of our tour, Bambarakanda Falls. We can enjoy a refreshing swim here.

Time for Tea. Let's enjoy recalling the memories of the day as we enjoy a refreshing cup of tea.

A hike through a magical forest filled with rare views of beauty.

Wangedigala and Wangedigala mountain are located near a beautiful village called Kalupahana. 

Some interesting facts about the name Wangedigala. It was given this name due to the pestle shaped peak of the mountain. The sinhalese word for pestle is wangedi. And the word wangedi-gala is a direct translation of the phrase “Pestle Rock”. 

Wangedigala and Wangedigala Mountain are two different peaks which most locals as well as Tourist hikers consider as the same peak. Wangedigala is a rock platform on the left side of the mountain that resembles a large stage and offers an exquisite view of the surrounding area.

Hiking through the Pine forest of Wangedigala, hikers can witness the beauty of mountain ranges around them and breathtaking sceneries of Bambarakanda Falls and Lanka Falls which fall from the mountain neighbouring Wangedigala. Hikers will have a thrilling experience of crossing Bambarakanda Falls via a rope bridge.

We will be trekking through many stretches of forest which grow Pine trees. The needles (leaves) of the Pine tree are very slippery to tread on so be cautious when hiking these paths.

Wangedigala Mountain

Welcome hikers. Please enjoy a refreshing beverage before we begin our journey. 

We shall begin our trek through the forest on our way to the summit of Wangedigala mountain. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as we travel on foot to our destination through majestic pine forests upwards on a gentle sloping climb. 

Congratulations you made it! The view from the top would be more than worth the exertion to get here. 

We’ll rest here for a while to enjoy our lunch. 

Time To head back to the guest house for a refreshing and rejuvenating cup of fresh Tea.
