Trekking

The Hill Country offers perfect hiking terrain due to its temperate climate and spectacular scenery. The river and numerous waterfalls in Sri Lanka allow hikers and trekkers to enjoy a refreshing dip en-route! In the same area Horton Plains National Park offers some excellent hikes in an unusual environment.

A memorable experience would be to climb Adams Peak. Every good Buddha is expected to make a pilgrimage to its peak at least once in their life. It has been a site of pilgrimage for over a thousand years and there is now a set of over 4500 steps that takes you to the top. The climb is traditionally done in the dark in order to arrive at the top in time for the sunrise. A unique experience that you will remember long after the aches and pains from the hiking have gone!
