Knuckles Range
The British named these peaks for their resemblance to a clenched fist, though locals have always called them Dumbara Kanduvetiya – the misty mountains.
This UNESCO World Heritage site harbours an incredible variety of life within its 34 peaks, from cloud forests to ancient villages where time seems to have slowed down. The hiking here ranks among Sri Lanka's best, with trails ranging from gentle walks to serious multi-day treks.
Morning mist often shrouds the peaks, creating an almost mystical atmosphere./p>
