KNUCKLES MOUNTAIN RANGE

Trekking Sri Lanka

The constantly changing cloud and mist cover make the Knuckles Mountain Range an incredible place to explore, with different views at every turn and a plethora of wildlife to spot.

Set high in the Districts of Matale and Kandy, the Knuckles mountain range is named after the peaks and folds that create a knuckle shape when viewed from certain angles.
