Highlights
This tour offers you the opportunity to hike on one of the most famous hiking and jeep trails in Sri Lanka, ‘The Devil’s Staircase’. This rather ominous-sounding trail is one of the toughest in the country and is attempted only by the most experienced hikers. A harsh 15km trail from Bambarakanda Rest, near the Bambarakanda Falls, to Ohiya near the Horton Plains. All hikes start at 7:30 m. Enjoy lunch on the trail. You will be spending approximately 7 hours of solid hiking over rough terrain in the hills. Get to see Bambarakanda Waterfalls, the tallest waterfall of Sri Lanka, and the ‘V cut’ a narrow pass which pierces through a hill. This tour is recommended from January to March, but also available from June to August.

About Kandy
Kandy is the hill-country city of Sri Lanka, home to the Temple of the Tooth, a tree-fringed lake and a botanical garden among tea-covered hills.
Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhalese kings until the British took it in 1815. It stands around an artificial lake, about 500 metres above sea level, in the Central Highlands. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a UNESCO site, holds a relic said to be a tooth of the Buddha, and pilgrims bring lotus flowers each day. Drummers and dancers perform at the shrine's rituals.
Top-ranked sights in Kandy: Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), Alagalla Mountain Range.
