Hiking Trails

Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary range of hiking into a compact island — from the pre-dawn pilgrimage ascent of Adam's Peak to exposed ridges in the UNESCO Knuckles Conservation Forest. Summits reach above 2,500 metres within a few hours of Colombo, offering everything from easy half-day walks to multi-day treks. Most highland trails are best from December to April when mornings are clear and paths are dry.
