There are a great many beautiful and exotic locations in Sri Lanka that are best visited using the most ancient of all methods of transportation — your own
two feet. You cannot experience the sounds of a rippling stream in an otherwise silent canyon or know what the rustle of fall leaves really sound like
without the background noises of civilization.
It is truly mentally and emotionally healing to stand still and look at the world as our ancestors must have seen it — pure and unspoiled. It is exhilarating
to deeply inhale air that is scented by pine and honeysuckle (that didn’t originate in a spray can) rather than by exhaust fumes. There are sights and sounds
and smells that cannot be experienced while traveling down the road or flying high above the land in a jetliner.
You can get a lot of good walking exercise by visiting Hortan Planes in Sri Lanka, but you won’t get the spiritual healing that you can get by walking in the remote wilderness. Can you imagine silence? Probably not if you live in our modern, busy, and noisy world.
You can find hiking vacations in just about every part in Sri Lanka. You can see and experience the world as
it once was. You can visit the Sinharaja rain forest, or climb the Sri Pada (Adam’s peak) through the jungle. There are many other places in Matale area that are perfect for a hiking vacation.
You can find a hiking travel package in Sri Lanka that will fill your needs and coincide with your level of fitness. There are hiking tours that are relaxing and easy walks along the shores of a lake, exhilarating treks through the mountains and waterfalls, and everything in between.
