The day we spend with Roshan was breathtaking! We spend our day with him and his tuktuk in the knuckels range, the most beautiful viewpoints ever. Sometimes we stopt to hike to amazing waterfalls where Roshan talked about the plants and its function: limon grass, peper, coffee, tea. No tourist, only local people what made it so special. He let us show the beauty of Sri Lanka in Kandy what nobody sees. We had an amazing swim, a lovely diner made by his wife and a amazing time. We were back so much later than expected, he didn't look at the time what was even more amazing. We will never forget this trip and our lovely host Roshan. You have to do this!!!!
Thank you Roshan for showing us the beautiful country side of Kandy. If you are looking for a true local who knows the area and want to see endless views then Roshan is the man to do it. We did a full day trip with Roshan seeing beautiful waterfalls, going through local villages, meeting beautiful people along the way all with spectacular views of the Knuckle Rangers. Roshan provided us with local knowledge of the area and took us to places off the beaten track. The final waterfall and swimming spot was a highlight and Roshan provided us with the best homemade lunch in Sri Lanka. We would highly recommend Roshan and his tours!!
This was by far one of my best days in Sri Lanka. We found ourselves in Kandy and not really loving the city so started googling waterfalls near by and found Roshan. I could not recommend this more! a bit of a drive out but so worth it. We were taken to 3 isolated waterfalls surrounded by tea plantations and in the hills. So beautiful!! we swam in all 3 waterfalls. Roshan brought us Lunch made by his wife which was the best meal we had in Sri Lanka. I seriously recommend this day if you're in Kandy for a few days!!! you won't regret.
Chaminda is a really lovely guy, nothing was too much trouble, and he was keen to make sure we had a good time. The lunch cooked by his wife was Delicious and we ate it at a waterfall in the mountains with nobody there but us. Awesome! This is a full day tour and you will be shaken about in a tuk tuk for many hours, but we didn't mind it, in fact the breeze was better than air conditioning in a taxi and we certainly got to see things close up. Chaminda took us to places tourists don't normally go, in fact we only saw one other tourist all day and she was only there because her driver was lost! We went on a Sunday which might be a good idea as the traffic was a lot less than it would be during the week, and everyone was in their Sunday best looking very glamorous. We got to see four waterfalls but the star was really the countryside and the local people, mostly people who work at the tea plantations in the mountains. It was interesting to see how they live. We also went to see people working the rice paddies and that was fascinating too. It was a hot day but we got to swim in a waterfall pool which was lovely. Safety: I think it is only fair to mention that getting to the waterfalls involved some pretty dangerous clambering over rocks and climbing steep hills etc. We are 58, and overweight, but we work out so are fitter than some people our age, and we struggled a bit at times. My wife twisted her ankle slipping on a rock and there are places where you could get badly hurt if you fell. It did add some adventure to the day, but if you are unsteady on your feet you might not see as many waterfalls as you would like. To be honest, in the dry season they are not so spectacular anyway, but it's worth taking the tour for the countryside.
