The Experience

Conquer one of the island’s most dramatic and infamous mountain passes, designed for the traveller who seeks raw, rugged adventure. Linking Ohiya to Kalupahana, the trail zigzags through steep tea estates and offers dizzying views of the southern plains. The journey takes you past the headwaters of the Bambarakanda Falls—the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka—as it plunges into the valley below. It is a challenging, “engineered” trek that reveals the wild heart of the central highlands.
