Trip Overview

Depart from Dublin to Colombo and transfer towards Kandy.

Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your scenic wellness accommodation set on the mountaintop overlooking the rice paddies and forests of Kandy. This will be your home for the next three nights.

Set out on a scenic guided trek in the Knuckles Mountain Range.

The mountain range’s scenery is beautifully defined by cloud, montane and pygmy forests. Hike along the Corbett’s Cap, finishing at Sri Lanka’s highest waterfall, where you enjoy a refreshing dip before a delicious picnic lunch.
