About this experience

Lace up your boots and hike to the summit of Single Tree Hill, the ninth tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. This private, four-hour tour takes you up to a panoramic viewpoint where many of Sri Lanka's highest peaks line the horizon — bring your camera and take your time at the top. A support team and first-aid kit accompany you throughout, with a backup vehicle on standby for emergencies.

Once you descend, settle in for a picnic lunch by the lake — included, along with refreshments and energy slabs to keep you going on the trail. Note that hotel pickup, drop-off, and transport to the trailhead in Nuwara Eliya are not included, so arrange your own way to the start point. Minimum age for this hike is 12 years. Lakpura organises this as a private tour, so the pace is yours to set.
