Escape the ordinary at Wild Glamping Knuckles, a secluded eco-luxury campsite offering understated comfort in the heart of the Knuckles Mountain Range.
A UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, Knuckles is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity and some of Sri Lanka’s finest walking trails. Whether you prefer a gentle half-day trek or a more demanding full-day hike, expert naturalists are on hand to guide you through this spectacular landscape of cloud rainforests, waterfalls and vibrant wildlife.
Birdwatchers will also find the region particularly rewarding. The campsite team collects guests from a pickup point and drive them to the site in a 4x4 vehicle, giving an adventurous start to this remote experience. The deluxe tents all feature queen- or king-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms with rain showers, solar-powered lighting and wooden floors. Meals are offered at an open-air restaurant serving authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and BBQ options.
What we love
- The natural setting here takes centre stage with panoramic views and utter serenity
- The camp is centred around its guided nature activities from waterfall treks to birdwatching walks
- Wild Glamping is an ideal base for a variety of trails through the Knuckles Mountain Range, from half-day treks to strenuous eight-hour hikes
- Don’t forget to look up at night, the dark skies offer inimitable star gazing opportunities
There is limited Wi-Fi or mobile signal here, a rare bonus for most of us but worth a mention for those who would find this difficult
This is a remote mountainous rainforest so be prepared for cooler and wetter days
Meal choices can be somewhat limited for those with specific dietary requirements
Wild Glamping Knuckles is a premier example of sustainable luxury tourism, seamlessly blending eco-conscious design with immersive nature experiences. The stilted tent design minimizes disruption to the natural terrain while solar-powered lighting and waste reduction ensure environmentally friendly operations. The camp emphasises local employment, contributing to the socio-economic development of the surrounding area.
