About this experience

Affronta uno dei sentieri più impegnativi dello Sri Lanka in questa escursione privata e guidata lungo la Scala del Diavolo — un percorso estenuante di 15 km da Bambarakanda Rest a Ohiya, vicino a Horton Plains. Partendo alle 07:30, trascorri circa sette ore attraversando un terreno collinare accidentato, passando per le cascate di Bambarakanda (la cascata più alta dello Sri Lanka) e infilandoti attraverso il 'V Cut', uno stretto passaggio scavato nella roccia solida. Rinfreschi, barrette energetiche e un pranzo al sacco ti mantengono energico per tutto il percorso. Un ufficiale di primo soccorso qualificato accompagna il gruppo e un veicolo di supporto è in standby per le emergenze. L'età minima è 12 anni. Le migliori condizioni si hanno da gennaio a marzo e da giugno ad agosto.

Nota che il prelievo in hotel, la riconsegna e il trasporto fino al sentiero di Bambarakanda non sono inclusi — organizza il tuo percorso fino al punto di partenza. Lakpura gestisce il resto: guida, personale di supporto, primo soccorso e tutti i rifornimenti sul sentiero. Il tempo totale del tour è di circa 10 ore.
