The hike through the Hanthana range offered us a chance to immerse ourselves in Kandy’s breathtaking landscapes. We particularly enjoyed the moments spent at the viewpoints, where we could take in the vast greenery and distant hills. While the trail was generally well-marked, a few additional signs would have helped keep us on track a bit easier.

Our group had an amazing time hiking through the lush trails of Hanthana, where the breathtaking views kept us motivated every step of the way. A highlight was reaching a stunning viewpoint that overlooked Kandy, where we paused to soak in the beauty and snap some photos. One suggestion for improvement would be to offer a bit more insight into the local flora and fauna along the route, but it truly was a memorable day filled with adventure and camaraderie.

Exploring the stunning mountain range was an unforgettable experience for our family, with breathtaking views around every bend. The only thing we felt could improve our day was a bit more guidance on the trail, but overall, the hike was a fantastic way to connect with nature.
