Tour Reviews
Great day out. Our guide Sampath was very knowledgeable about the local area and able to tell us about the trees and plants we were passing. He was also able to tell us about the history of the area. The walk was done at our own pace and was not too tough. The views from the top were incredible. We even saw an elephant near the top of the next hill on the ridge line
