The two day, one night hike with Nipuna Knuckles Trekking is one of the highlights of my three weeks in Sri Lanka. Everything was very well organised, we were led by a knowledgeable guide, who shared information about nature as well as culture of villages we were passing by. The accommodation is located in a stunning location on a side of hill and the food served during the trip was always incredible. Combined with the wonderful nature views, this was a great experience

It was amazing. The quide was very friendly. He told lots of info about the nature, animals. Es war wunderbar. Der Reiseleiter war sehr nett, freundlich, hat alle kleine Tiere entdeckt und gezeigt. Er hat sehr viele Infos erzählt. Ich kann es nur empfehlen, es war die Höhepunkt meine Reise. Hihetetlen élmény volt, egy kiváló idegenvezetővel, akinek óriási tudása van az ott élő állatokról, növényekről. Kiválóan beszél angolul és nagyon kedves fiatal srác.

Achi is a great guide ! He is very knowledgeable, even knows the scientific names of the fauna and flora. He knows how to spot the animals and the different species of flora. He is also flexible as I asked to do a longer walk and he went with it. I definitely recommend him. I also recommend this hike... The forest is wonderful... Filled with such a wide variety of fauna and flora, it makes it very unique. I've been to the Amazon, and I was still impressed by everything here. Definitely something to go look at.
