Limited charging access for your devices and there is no cell reception in the camp. Could be a good thing to disconnect with social media and revel in nature; could be annoying if you are going on a full day hike and you like the idea of safety a fully charged phone provides. No dealbreaker for me, but some people might mind that.

- Great location in the middle of nowhere, with beautiful surroundings and great views of the mountains. It was quite a tough road to get there, but worth it. Lots of fireflies on the way :) - The staff was great and very helpful with every request or question we had. - The barbeque dinner was delicious. - I like that it was eco-focused.

Because you are in the middle of mountains, you see frogs from time to time in your bathroom. Nothing to worry, they stay in the bathroom or can be easily taken out.

Amazing experience amidst beautiful nature! The tents are very cozy, and everyone from the staff is absolutely great! We can highly recommend the place 🥰

There is nothing to mention.

Everything at the facility was great, especially the service offered by Bhanuka and Sajith, who did their best to make our stay memorable.

Nothing, the team were so accommodating (especially Banu who was our host & Vignesh who served us for our meals, we felt very well looked after)

So peaceful!! This was a true highlight of our trip. The beds in the tents were soooo comfy, we ended up extending for two extra night. We went on a really great hike with our guide Banu too who was so knowledgeable, it really topped off the experience for us. If you’re looking for something off the tourist track and really in nature this is definitely the place to book.

The Environment, the Food and the people there

First of all, the way to get there already starts the feeling of adventure. A 4×4 vehicle picks you up for an off-road experience. When you arrive an intimate and dedicated staff greets you, the hotel manager welcomes you and explains everything that awaits you while the rest make sure your luggage reaches your tent. The tent has a private toilet and shower with hot water all the time. And their hiking trails are just crazy! The guide who joins you is dedicated and full of knowledge and will take you to magical and stunning places!

I can't think of anything that would make this experience better. Knuckles Glamping delivered above and beyond what we expected. Keep doing what you're doing!

We thoroughly enjoyed the unique accommodations. The food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. If you want to wake up to the serene beauty of Knuckles mountain in comfort, this is the experience for you!

We loved everything!

Our 2 days in Knuckles Wild Glamping were our favourite days in Sri Lanka! Everyone was so friendly. Bankua helped us find our way there (as we drove ourselves and arrived at night). And Sajith guided us on our 14km hike to the waterfall. We learned so many interesting things from him and by the time we had to leave, it felt like we had made a new friend! Also, the food was so delicious! We loved the breakfast, lunch and BBQ dinner! Thank you all so much for making our stay so memorable. We hope that we can return one day.

I don’t usually write negative reviews but felt like I should. We booked this as a treat (it was much more expensive than our other accommodation on the trip but it sounded amazing and the reviews looked good). We firstly met the jeep at the meeting point and immediately were sent off on a walk with a guide who we hadn’t requested and handed a ‘gift’ of snacks (which we were then later charged for). It turned out that this walk was going to cost $70. The snack box even included sausages after telling them in advance that we were vegetarian. This was just a bit unpleasant and we felt a bit scammed - we just asked for recommendations for a local walk but were hurriedly sent off with the guide with no communication from the manager. We then went for dinner in the evening, and it was a meat bbq. The bbq is done inside the restaurant tent, so is incredibly smoky and smells of meat. As a vegetarian, we were only offered noodles with ketchup, or, after we asked for something Sri Lankan, we were given the breakfast meal (Dahl and coconut Sambal) which we were happy with, but disappointed that this was the meal when we’d paid a lot to be here and had had so much better food throughout our trip. The staff were very friendly but really wasn’t what we expected. Overall, it’s an incredibly lovely location but for the price, we don’t think it was value for money. It’s a real shame as the glampsite really has a lot of potential but the communication and service wasn’t quite there.

Location is really nice - in the mountains with lovely views and you can see fire flies from the tent at night. The guide we had (via the glampsite) was very friendly, knowledgeable and good fun.
