Top 5 Trails on Walking Holidays in Sri Lanka

The Manigala Trail
Snaking across the Knuckles Mountain Range, the Manigala Trail is a UNESCO World Heritage site punctuated by paddy fields, dense forests and the villages of Pitawala Patana and Etanwala. Pause at the escarpment to catch your breath and inhale the uninterrupted views of rural Sri Lanka. From here, follow the trail to the highest part of your walk at Manigala Top, standing at 3,660ft. The Knuckles Range is also home to diverse flora and fauna, including several endemic species, which you might spot along the way.

Yodakandiya Lake
Located in the Tissamaharama District of Sri Lanka, Yodakandiya Lake is a stunning manmade lake, dating back to the 3rd century BC. Flanked by lush vegetation, this is an idyllic spot for bird watching as you walk along the waterside trail. Along the way, you’ll also get a glimpse into the life of the locals as they go about their day-to-day lives. Unwind in the tranquility and enjoy a peaceful escape away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Adam’s Peak
Also known as Sri Pada, Adam’s Peak is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic and sacred mountains. This pilgrimage site is revered by Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians and attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. The trek to the summit of Adam’s Peak is an enlightening journey that begins around midnight, with the goal of reaching the top by sunrise. The trail consists of thousands of steps that wind their way up the mountain, passing through lush forests and small villages. Your reward at the summit is a breathtaking sunrise that illuminates the misty valleys below.

Horton Plains
Horton Plains is a vast plateau overlooking the central highlands of Sri Lanka and boasts some of the most scenic hiking trails on the island. Home to unique ecosystems, including grasslands and cloud forests, you’ll have the chance to see a variety of wildlife such as sambar deer, purple-faced monkeys and endemic bird species. Follow the trail, past Baker’s Falls, to World’s End, a dramatic escarpment with unparalleled views of the plains and valleys below.

Ella Rock
Nestled in the charming hill town of Ella and standing at 3,743ft, Ella Rock is a popular route for walking in Sri Lanka owing to its panoramic views and relatively easy accessibility. Trek among tea plantations and paddy fields, stopping at remote villages to learn about rural life in Sri Lanka. As you ascend, the trail becomes steeper and more forested, eventually leading to the rocky summit, where you’re rewarded with views of Ella Gap, Little Adam’s Peak and the surrounding hills.

A wonderful walking holiday in Andalucia with a good mix of hiking, scenery, culture and amazing food, particularly at the excellent Cortijo Rosario farmhouse that acted as “base camp” for the week. It included great days sight-seeing in Sevilla and Ronda and an introduction to the local wildlife and biodiversity.

John Coppock Walking in Andalucia

The trip was a perfect balance of hiking and culture . The hotel is good and run by a lovely family who are actively involved and who want to ensure you have a good experience.

Melanie Smout Walking in Sardinia

This trip was a great combination of walking in the beautiful countryside, visiting traditional villages, sightseeing in the cities as well as embracing the local culture & learning about the forna & floral!
The trip is great for people wanting to try a walking holiday as the walks only take a few hours per day, allowing for rest in the afternoons. On several days, you can choose to complete part of the walk & return to the hotel if you are struggling which some of our group did.
The Cortijo Rosario has a relaxed vibe so we felt at home straight away! The staff were fantastic & nothing was too much trouble for them! Additionally, the food was fantastic & gave us an authentic taste of Spain!
