Fantastic for kids! After a ten-minute hike uphill through jungle, we reach the beginner's climbing wall. It looks intimidating. One of our guides climbs it like a spider to secure top ropes. Kids get a good orientation to gear and technique before the challenge commences. A 12-year old boy and two 10-year olds (boy and girl) struggle at first but then start clicking. Taking turns, all make it to the top multiple times over the course of an hour. So fun!…

We contacted Sachith a few days before the climb via whatsapp and he was helpful responding to our messages. We did a morning session session and really enjoyed our experience.

The only proper rock climbing arena within a couple of hours reach from Colombo. As First time climbers we reached there on a Saturday at 8 am for a half a day session of climbing. Slightly off the Horana exit the place is in a community protected sanctuary which is not hard to find. (Google maps to aid) There were different routes for amateurs and experienced climbers and we took the easy climb and with the help of Sachith our experienced guide we managed to summit the climb confidently with only a few scratches on our knees.

I wanted to give up halfway but then he encouraged me do it once and then after that I climbed again a second time and I am looking forward to go again and again in the times to come. I rate climbsrilanka 5/5. Tips. Book early only five slots per session. Take drinks and some snacks. Wear something longer than shorts, it will reduce the scrapes and bruises. …
