Knuckles Range Trail + Recovery Day

The one trip where I brought the wrong shoes and paid for it. Worth it anyway.

Just don't skip the recovery day, your knees will file a complaint.

Before you go

The trailhead is a couple hours from Kandy by shared van, but the trail itself is unmarked in places.

Go with someone who's done it before, or at least download an offline map.

Knuckles Range Trail + Recovery Day
Itinerary

Day by day

The route I actually followed — adjust the pace to however much rain you're willing to walk through.

  • 1Day 1 — the jungle trail — Through the Knuckles Mountain Range. Cool and misty even in the dry season. Start early, bring real boots.
  • 2Day 2 — do nothing — Eat, sleep, maybe a short walk. You earned it.
