We spent 3 extraordinary days in the Knuckles with our great guide. Very professional and with a great sense of humor, he introduced us to the sublime landscapes of this region. A great connoisseur of nature, he also taught us how to identify many endemic plants and animals. The camping evenings were very pleasant and the meals delicious. Do not hesitate to contact him if you are in love with nature and hiking!

We spent 2 amazing days with Charlie. He met everything we expected from a guide. In addition to being a great guide, Charlie has answered all our questions about nature, has a lot of humor and many other talents. His French is very impressive! We can only recommend it, without any hesitation. 🥰

We had an amazing time with Charlie, he took the time to give some explaination along the hike regarding the country's history, nature, animals... I highly recommand booking a tour with him as the views are breathtaking.

My spouse, my son and I went on a 3-day trek in the Knuckles with Shalika alias Charly, a moment suspended in time, in total contact with the nature and beauty of this country. We met a lot of locals, all smiling and happy to see us, and very few tourists so for those who want to go off the beaten track, discover another facet of sri lanka with a polyglot guide (especially French which is rare) skilled in botany I highly recommend Shalika!

A definite highlight from my overall trip in Sri Lanka. We hiked for three days with Shalika, and the logistics of the hike seemed effortless, everything was well organised and the hike route was also well designed, with varying parts of difficulty. Shalika is full of energy, smiling and great company for a long hike. Only comment I have is, I would have felt more confident/comfortable if he could have adjusted to my pace a bit better- felt like I was being left behind sometimes. Overall though a really funny guy and also generous, he shared his lunch with me when I forgot mine 🧡 The views were also so amazing, not only of the mountains, but the paddies, Tamil villages, the forest, waterfalls and bathing pools- a trip I will remember for a long time!! Highly recommend.
