Sri Lanka Hideaway
This isn't your regular hiking trip. It's five days in Sri Lanka combining hiking, yoga, waterfalls, local culture and time to slow down.
Our base is near the beautiful Knuckles Mountain Range, a green region of mountains, villages, tea plantations and waterfalls. We'll explore it on foot, experience local culture and still have plenty of time to relax.
The idea is simple: enough adventure to keep you moving, and enough downtime to still feel like a holiday.
Book Early & Save
Secure your place before 20 October and enjoy our Early Bird discount. After that, the trip will be available at the full price.
The Experience

Our base includes a swimming pool, open-air yoga spaces, gardens and peaceful outdoor areas where you can relax, read or simply enjoy the surroundings.
