About this experience

Lace up your boots and set off on an 8-hour private trek through the forested hills above Kandy, ending at Heeloya — a traditional Sri Lankan village that has held onto its customs long after the modern world moved on. Your guide leads you along trails that wind through greenery before the village opens up ahead, giving you an unfiltered look at rural hill-country life: local architecture, daily routines, and the quiet rhythms that define this community.

A village lunch is included, so you sit down and eat the way Heeloya residents do. The trek is suitable for participants aged 5 and above, making it a workable choice for families. Note that your own hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included, so arrange your own transport to the trailhead. Gratuities are optional and at your discretion. Lakpura organises the experience in English throughout.
