The backpackers trail to Elephant Spine – Knuckles
By Sri Lanka Day Tours
The Knuckles Mountain Range is a vitally important conservation area, recognised as a National Heritage and Wilderness Area by UNESCO.
A great addition to your list of “things to do in Kandy”. Backpacking in Knuckles, is to experience every forest range type found in Sri Lanka, travelling from 250 to 4,000 feet above sea level. This trekking trail will mean experiencing different climatic zones - unique to the Knuckles Mountain Range and it's a magical trail to do bird watching as well. This wonderful range covers almost every forest type found in Sri Lanka at elevations ranging between 250 and 4,000 feet. A walk through the Pitawala Pathana – the island’s largest dry pathana plains – will let you glimpse the 1,500ft sheer drop to the Puwakpitiya valley below. Fantastic, moderate treks which will help you burn your extra calories gained during your holiday.

Had a fantastic hike arranged, good communication throughout planning stages and leading up to the trek and easy online payment. We were collected by driver and guide (good safe driving, with tea stop!) and brought to the hike starting point. Our guide was excelllent and gave lots of explanations on the wildlife/ecosystems and history of the area we were travelling through and throughout the hike, pointing out different bird calls, insects/crabs etc. Hike was a good, moderate difficulty (bring lots of water!) with amazing views along the way and from the top. Lunch in the village afterwards was really delicious and a nice way to finish the hike. Highly reccomended!
