Hotels in Knuckles Mountain Range, Sri Lanka
Knuckles Mountain Range in central Sri Lanka has a cool, misty climate year-round, with temperatures ranging from 55°F to 75°F (13°C to 24°C), making it perfect for escape from coastal heat. This UNESCO-listed area is famous for its rugged peaks and dense rainforest, where you can trek to waterfalls like Mini World's End or spot endemic birds like the Sri Lanka blue magpie. The best time for hiking is December to March during the dry season, but even in monsoon months from October to November, you can explore the forest's waterfalls and tea plantations without the crowds.
