Thilanka was an excellent guide,very courteous and helpful.He was very knowledgeable about the biodiversity of the trail and showed us wildlife- butterflies,birds as well on the trail. Highly recommended.The trail was heavenly with most,drizzle ,tea gardens and breeze.
I went on the Pekoe trail - stage one (Hanthana to Galaha) , with tour guideThilanka. He has amazing knowledge on flora and fauna. Specially regarding birds, he has a good eye, and he can identify a bird by sound. Thilanka is equipped with all the stuff a hicker needs, working on time , caring and easy going. He planned the entire trip very professionally. I highly recommend him for any type of adventure in Sri Lanka. p.s Apart from that, he helped me to do adventure - equipment shopping at the Kandy City Centre. Benjamin R Melbourne
It was a great hike. The guide was super kind and gave me a lot of information about the hike and the surroundings. He was very friendly. You could also have a nice exchange about the country in general, and he gave great tips for places and shops. Nature lovers definitely have to join this tour. Various animals and insects could be observed.

We booked the tour at short notice, could already go on the hike the next morning. Thilanka picked us up with a driver at the hotel, then we started. We experienced a wonderfully quiet hike in the morning hours through wonderful nature. Thilanka showed and explained to us plants and animals we saw. He was a calm and attentive guide who even surprised us with a small packed lunch for a break.
