Best waterfall trek experience!
The care and attention received from both the Chauffeur Hafeel and the guide was impeccable! And I can't wait to recommend all my friends around me and more!

Wonderful Waterfall Wander
We had a wonderful time with our guide, traveling the hillsides and tea plantations in his tuk tuk seeing both accessible and out of the way waterfalls. Wear comfortable footwear wear you that can get muddy, my friend lost her sneaker temporarily in the mud; sandals were also fine. The homemade lunch we had at our guide’s house was the best Sri Lankan meal I had during my stay. We did not encounter any leeches.

Amazing team and great prices !
I would highly recommend this team to anybody. They did all of our airport transfers and took us on all the best sights. They put together a full itinerary and all we had to do was show up! :)

Be aware of Leeches!
Be aware of Leeches! There are many of them around the waterfalls and i got bitten a lot. Neither my guide, nor the company i booked through will tell you this information in advance, cause all they care about - is your money. My guide did NOT have a first aid kit. Please bring plasters and medication to stop bleeding cause the leeches tend to go for veins. Apart from that, the waterfalls were amazing.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kandy.
How much does Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range) cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range) take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range)?
+
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 Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range)?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to the Hidden Waterfalls around Kandy (Knuckles Range) 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.
