Unwind in Misty Mountains
Bite-sized tripDay 1 – Arrival in Madulkelle
Today you will head into the heart of the Hill Country. Only an hour drive from bustling Kandy lies one of Sri Lanka’s secret treasures, the Knuckles Range. This is a place to recharge and reconnect with yourself and we have secured a very special place for you to unwind. Perched on a hillside and surrounded by rolling tea plantations this charming eco-lodge has everything you could think of and more, including a spa, an on-site restaurant with an ever-changing seasonal menu (based on the fresh ingredients grown right here in the garden), and an infinity pool with jaw-dropping mountain views.
Day 2 – Community trip and free time
You will wake up to the magnificent views of the mountains covered in morning mist and after breakfast it’s time to explore the village not far from your lodge. With an experienced guide, you will spend some time within the local community and enjoy traditional snacks and freshly brewed tea at a local home while learning about the way of life in Sri Lankan countryside.
There is nothing else planned for you today but there are plenty of other activities, from bird watching to hiking, that can be arranged through your lodge. After a long day why not pay a visit to the on-site spa if you haven’t already?
Day 3 – Departure
Those early birds can enjoy a splendid sunrise from their own verandah – with a fresh cuppa this is just the way to start a new day.
After breakfast, it’s time to say good-bye to this heavenly place. The new destinations are waiting to be explored and your driver is ready to whisk you off to your next adventure.

Glamping and trekking in the Knuckles mountains
If you’re feeling adventurous we have an alternative glamping and trekking option available for this bite-sized trip. Stay overnight in a comfortable, spacious tent located in the heart of the Knuckles mountain range and explore the misty mountains on a guided trek. You’re in a fairly remote location so don’t expect any phone signal or Wi-Fi, although this helps you disconnect from the outside world and get in touch with nature. If this is more your style then select our glamping option for this bite-sized trip below.
