Knuckles Mountain Range is in the Central Parts of Sri Lanka across Kandy and Matale Districts. Though it's now called Knuckles, due to the series of recumbent folds and peaks in the west of the massif which resemble the knuckles of clenched fist when viewed from certain locations in the Kandy District, the real name is Dumbara Kanduvetiya meaning Mist-laden Mountain Range.
There are many high peaks inside this UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. We managed to climb one of the higher peaks called Yakkunge Hela (Yakunge Hela / Yakkunge Gala / Yakkunge Kanda / Devils' Cliff) which was a steep and strenuous hike. She's located closer to the highest point in Knuckles Forest Reserve aka Mountain Range called Gombaniya with an elevation of 1,906m.
This video brings you the mysterious but extremely beautiful Yakkunge Hela Hike. Due to thick mist and time constraints, we didn't reach the true summit at around 1,840m. We turned around 1,800m mark. On the second day we managed to conquer the Majestic Gombaniya. That video on another day.
There are frequent disturbances of wind noises in the video. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by those.

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travelers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.
