Adventure
Waterfall Hikes in the Hill Country
Sri Lanka's hill country is full of falls, some a short walk from the road and others reached by trails through tea and forest. We help you pick walks that suit your group and your shoes.
Your driver takes you to the trailhead and collects you at the end, so you can walk one way. Bring a light rain jacket and grippy footwear.
Highlights
- Walks that end at a waterfall viewpoint or pool
- Trails through tea estates and cloud forest
- One-way walking with a driver waiting at the end
- Options from easy strolls to longer hikes
