Well organised hike, beautiful scenery and an amazing guide.
Nazz from Overa was extremely helpful in giving us information about trip options and organising the trip in a timely fashion. From the pick up from our hotel and the hike itself, everything was well organised. Siva, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the local environment, culture and history that the hike was not only a beautiful experience but an educational one as well. The scenery was amazing throughout- tea plantations, fields of other crops, rainforest, waterfalls and amazing lookouts. Siva always matched our pace and was helpful with leech management too. The campsite was comfortable in a wood cabin with ensuite toilet and shower and all the meals throughout the hike were delicious and prepared by locals. The dinner was a particular highlight. I would highly recommend this company and a special shoutout to Siva, our fantastic guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable hiking experience with us. It’s wonderful to know that Nazz provided excellent support during the planning process and that Siva made the hike both enjoyable and educational with his knowledge and care. We’re glad you loved the beautiful scenery, the comfortable campsite, and the locally prepared meals — especially the dinner highlight! Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we’ll be sure to share your appreciation with both Nazz and Siva. Thank you once again for recommending Overa Tours. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in Sri Lanka! 🌿✨

Traveling in Sri Lanka: September 2024
Overa Tours, and in particular Mr. Nazz arranged for us an exceptional tour in Sri Lanka according to our needs. Mr. Nazz is professional on his work and was much of his help during our days in Sri Lanka. We had a great time at Knuckles Mountain. We loved the time that we spent with our travel guide Mr. Mayura as he is a kind person with much knowledge, and professional in the trek. The Safari that we had in Minneriya National Park was a great experience, too. The driver, Mr. Amila is a kind person and professional on his work. Thank you all for making our holidays in Sri Lanka so unique!

2 day hike in knuckles mountain range
Went to on a hike in the knuckles mountain range for 2 days - it was gorgeous. My partner and I were looked after so well and the scenery was breathtaking. Would highly recommend
via Tripadvisor
Immersive, strenuous tour in Knuckles region with basically no tourism.
We had a great two day trip in the Knuckles mountain region. One of the most strenuos hikes for us ever, but 100% worth it. Our guide, Janaka, was an excellent host, singing songs at the bonfire and explaining wildlife to us. We even enjoyed some cooking lessons at the camp, free of charge. We only spotted one other couple during the two days. highly recommended.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kandy.
How much does Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles cost?
+
Prices start at $117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kandy usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kandy is not rushed.
Is Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kandy, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kandy can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kandy and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Overnight Adventure Trekking in Knuckles start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kandy within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kandy?
+
On Outty we rank every Kandy experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Kandy City Tour by Tuk Tuk, Tours and Transportation in Sri Lanka, Chauffeur guide and Tour organizer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kandy?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kandy?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
