Kandy and the Knuckles Range
Kandy - Knuckles Range - Wasgamuwa NP - 3-Temple walk
The old king´s town Kandy and its surroundings was for 6 nights on our travel plan. Culture, trekking, safari, hiking - we had planned a few.
After the train journey from Colombo to Kandy via Palavi we relaxed first. The next morning we was picked up 7:00 clock to a 3-day trekking tour incl. Safari. Looking back: very exhausting, but also very impressive - we would repeat it at any time ...
For Safari in Wasgamuwa National Park we traveled already on the previous evening. We spent one night in a rustic safari lodge. Morning at 7:00 clock we started at the park entrance. Everything seemed very sleepy. Everywhere was morning dew and over the marshes was mild to dense fog. However, many birds were very active. The highlight for us was the observation of an Elephant Family. Animals at the Wasgamuwa National Park
After a 30 min walk we was very impressed about the Ratna Ella Falls. It is one of the biggest waterfalls on Sri Lanka.
