Best waterfall trek experience!
The care and attention received from both the Chauffeur Hafeel and the guide was impeccable! And I can't wait to recommend all my friends around me and more!

Wonderful Waterfall Wander
We had a wonderful time with our guide, traveling the hillsides and tea plantations in his tuk tuk seeing both accessible and out of the way waterfalls. Wear comfortable footwear wear you that can get muddy, my friend lost her sneaker temporarily in the mud; sandals were also fine. The homemade lunch we had at our guide’s house was the best Sri Lankan meal I had during my stay. We did not encounter any leeches.

Amazing team and great prices !

Be aware of Leeches!
Be aware of Leeches! There are many of them around the waterfalls and i got bitten a lot. Neither my guide, nor the company i booked through will tell you this information in advance, cause all they care about - is your money. My guide did NOT have a first aid kit. Please bring plasters and medication to stop bleeding cause the leeches tend to go for veins. Apart from that, the waterfalls were amazing.

Great waterfall trip!
We had a great time visiting waterfalls around the Knuckles mountain range. We had a driver pick us up from our hotel in the morning, he drove us out to the range where we met our local guide. We saw many waterfalls and could swim in two of them. We then had a lovely Sri Lankan lunch cooked for us before travelling back to Kandy. Great trip - would recommend
