Customer Reviews

    · December 17th, 2024
    The tour was informative and fun - we saw lots of Sri Lanka and it was great to have a local tour guide show us around. There was a lot of driving involved to get to each destination which is included in the itinerary but took up most of every second day with hours of driving. Overall a good tour with a lovely guide and Sri Lanka was worth the visit!

    Carla

    Asked on May 14th, 2024

    I am 79 years old, reasoably fit, and I am interested in your 8 days Knuckles Trekking Tour starting in Colombo. The question is how much actual walking would I do every day? I am ok with rugged terrain, but not very good on long uphill stretches. What is the weather situation end of June? Rain, temperature?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperatorWritten May 2024

      We typically embark on a 3-hour walk each day, though the current trail poses significant challenges. Not to worry, as we can tailor alternative routes that are easier, removing lower-level difficulties for your convenience. We pride ourselves on offering moderately rugged trekking experiences and are happy to customize your tour based on your health and bravery levels. As for the weather at the end of June, expect occasional rain showers while enjoying overall pleasant temperatures throughout your journey.

      TravelerWritten May 2024

      I am a bit confused about how strenuous this trek is. You told me that there is about 3 hours walking a day, and the whole trek is marked as easy. Looking at the day 4 script, it says 'Leave from Heeloya 6.30 Am, walking 35 Km Cross to village & Jungle trekking'. So I have to walk 35 km that day? And on day 7, do I have to climb Adam's peak, which takes at least 6 hours according to a google enquiry?

    • Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperatorWritten May 2024

      Please do not be confused about how strenuous this trek is. I told you that there is about more than 6 hours of walking each day. However, we will make it easier for you with a minimum of 3 or 4 hours of walking, and the whole trek is marked as easy. Day 1: Leave from Heeloya at 6:30 AM and walk 35 km (we have reduced the hard trekking to 20 km). You will have to walk 15 km that day. We have a resting place where you can rest for a few hours. Day 7: You will climb Adam's Peak, which takes at least 6 hours. It is an easy trek, but some areas are more challenging. If you need rest on the last day, you can book an extra night.

    I just wanted to know if this tour is really a group tour? Because I am travelling alone, and I dont want to do the tour all by myself! A group tour would be really nice!
