The Knuckles Mountain Range is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed wilderness area in central Sri Lanka, named for the knuckle-like silhouette of its jagged peaks as seen from the Kandy plains below. The range is one of Sri Lanka’s most biodiverse regions, home to a concentration of endemic flora and fauna all within a landscape of shola forests, cloud forests, cascading streams and ridgelines. Trekking routes of varying difficulty wind through villages, waterfalls and misty passes, offering a raw and immersive highland experience that is worlds away from the manicured tea country landscapes nearby.
