What To Expect

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.
