Traveling with Lanka Trek was the best thing I did in Sri Lanka. We explored 8 hidden waterfalls and found a beautiful natural infinity pool. It felt like a secret paradise.
Camping beside a waterfall cave was a truly unforgettable experience. The forest was very green and completely untouched. It felt peaceful and refreshing for the soul.
Our guide, Manula was excellent. He was very supportive and made sure everything went smoothly. The food was another highlight. Everything was fresh and very delicious.
I especially loved the village-style rice and curry. It was the best meal I had in Sri Lanka.
If you want a real adventure away from crowded places, Lanka Trek is the perfect choice. I will always remember this amazing journey.

We had a wonderful experience with Rajeev and Ashen as our guides! Sleeping in the only Cardamom hut remaining in the middle of the jungle and a few meters away from a magnificent waterfall was truly unforgettable. Doing it with those 2 was even better. We felt like we were doing the trek with 2 friends. We cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for everything!

I joined Lanka Trek with two of my friends in July, and it turned out to be one of the best adventures we’ve ever had. The trails were breathtaking, filled with unforgettable views and moments. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend their service for anyone who loves hiking.
