Knuckles Leopard Trail Trek from Kandy
- Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Kandy and transfer you by vehicle to the Knuckles Range. It will be an early morning departure, and the exact time depends on your hotel location.

Along the way, you will cross wooden bridges and may spot endemic flora and fauna. You will also see a large rocky plateau and enjoy peak views while walking through evergreen dwarf cloud forest, endemic creepers, and cane bamboo.
- You can enjoy your picnic lunch during the trek, either at a waterfall with a natural pool or at Knuckles Peak.
- Begin an adventurous downhill trek from the turning point to the eastern slope.
- You will return to your hotel in the evening. The exact arrival time depends on your hotel location and traffic on the way.
