What to expect

  1. Bambarakanda Falls
    4h · Admission ticket included
    The track through the Devils Staircase is one of the most popular hiking and jeep tracks in the
    hills of Sri Lanka. The difficulty levels and the spectacular view of the green mountains of Sri
    Lanka has made this a hikers paradise but only the most ardent hikers will undertake this 19 km
    hike.
    Generally hikers choose the Bambarakanda Rest near Bambarakanda Ella Falls as the starting
    point to the journey if they wish to start the journey from this end or can start the hike from
    Ohiya end also. This trail goes over old dilapidated estate roads through many estates. This trail
    ends on the Ohiya – Horton Plains road around the halfway distance from Ohiya Railway Station
    to the Horton Plains Entrance.
  2. Horton Plains Kalupahana Trail
    4h · Admission ticket included
    There are no markers along the route, therefore it’s advised to use a guide if attempting the
    journey for the first time. The route has number of folks and they could easily divert you from
    the original path. The trail is 19 km long from Bambarakanda and would take approximately 7
    hours to complete the hike.
    The two most popular points on the route is the “V cut”, a channel cut through the hill to allow
    the road to pass through. You will come across this after entering the Udaveriya estate.
    Passing this, the road will go across a stream which creates the tallest fall in the country, the
    Bambarakanda Falls.
