Info

Embark on an extraordinary multi-day wilderness adventure to Duwili Falls, one of the most spectacular hidden waterfalls in Sri Lanka’s Knuckles Mountain Range. Starting from the scenic village located near in the Riverston region, this challenging trekking adventure takes you deep into pristine wilderness through lush grasslands, tropical montane forests, and mystical cloud forests. Discover the remarkable biodiversity of the Knuckles Conservation Forest, encounter fascinating wildlife, and enjoy breathtaking mountain scenery along the way.

One of the highlights is the unique opportunity to experience cave camping behind the waterfall, surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Knuckles wilderness, subject to forest regulations and weather conditions. This demanding expedition combines mountain trekking, waterfall exploration, waterfall cave camping, and an immersive nature experience.
