Descripción completa

La cordillera de Hanthana es el muro de colinas directamente al sur de Kandy, siete picos en fila que se miran desde el lago cada dia sin necesariamente darse cuenta de que se pueden caminar. Este viaje lo hace, y como el inicio del sendero esta a veinte minutos de la ciudad, es la caminata seria mas facil disponible desde Kandy.

La ruta sube por la plantacion de te de Hanthana hasta la cresta, donde la vista se abre en ambas direcciones a la vez: Kandy y su lago al norte, las montañas extendiendose hacia el sur en direccion a Nuwara Eliya. En una mañana clara, la cordillera de Knuckles se alza al otro lado del valle.

Katusukonda es el espolon en el extremo lejano, y la caminata hasta alli cruza pastizales y bolsas de bosque remanente con cuevas en la roca debajo de la linea de cresta. Hay poca gente aqui, este es donde caminan los residentes de Kandy, no donde van los grupos turisticos.

La cascada al final es la recompensa: una poza lo bastante fria para ser un verdadero shock tras una caminata calurosa, y lo bastante poco profunda para sentarse en ella. La mayoria de los grupos se detienen una hora antes de bajar.

De cuatro a cinco horas de caminata con una subida real al principio, por senderos de plantacion y pastizal abierto. Tras la lluvia hay sanguijuelas en el te, inofensivas, y el guia lleva sal, pero tengalo en cuenta. La cresta esta expuesta sin sombra, por lo que una salida temprana vence tanto al calor como a las nubes del mediodia que normalmente cierran la vista. La poza al final esta fria como deshielo en lugar de refrescante; la mayoria dura unos minutos y se alegra de haber entrado.

Preguntas frecuentes

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover meals, gratuities, personal hiking equipment, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Expect uneven ground and some climbing, and mud after rain. Trainers with grip are the minimum and proper shoes are better. The pace follows the group, so tell your guide early if you want it slower rather than at the point you are struggling.
Pekoe Lanka Tours. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.

Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
