It was an interesting adventure, took the whole day to go to Sigiriya and Dambulla, but it was worth it. Chaminda was very helpful and knowledgeable about the tour. Of course it’s a long day on a motorcycle but it was definitely an adventure.Great adventure

Being Accompanied by Roshan during my excursions around Kandy was such a nice experience for me ! He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and has a very pleasant personality. He is also environmentally conscious, a diligent driver and someone whom you can totally rely on for almost everything during your travels. The home cooked food made by his wife was also very wholesome and eating it by a lovely waterfall is an experience to cherish. I was extremely fortunate to find him through this website and I would again like to thank him for his company. The perfect companion in Kandy

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. Fantastic tour of the countryside.

We had an amazing day on the tuk tuk waterfall tour . Chaminda showed us so much ! We saw a lot of spices and fruits and tea and coffee plants, the most amazing villages and incredible scenery. He bought us drinks and a snack and the most wonderful picnic lunch that his wife had prepared. We saw 4 beautiful waterfalls and even swam in the last one. An amazing day with a lovely friendly guide. Don’t miss this experience it is wonderful! An amazing day

Roshan took us on an incredible trip to three waterfalls in the Knuckles Range outside of Kandy. It was brilliant from start to finish he is an excellent guide and points out all things on interest. The waterfalls & the scenery from the Tuk Tuk were incredible and swimming in the final one capped on an excellent day. Amazing lunch cooked by Roshans wife included and eaten by the river. Couldn’t recommend this trip highly enough it’s awesome. Roshan goes above and well beyond to make this incredible. This is simply a must do. A must do!

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!!!! An amazing day

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!! Thank you Roshan

We waited to review the trip with Roshan until we got back to Australia to be sure we could do it justice. Because it really was that amazing. An entire day of waterfalls hidden away in secluded villages, with not a tourist in sight. The swimming hole at the end of the trip was a perfect way to finish it off and cool down after a morning of hiking to each fall, with crystal clear water and a lunch which was the best meal we ate on a 22 day 2 country trip. Roshan was a fantastic driver and guide, and he had a great eye for spotting plants as well- we found all the ingredients for a curry, nutmeg, pepper, lemongrass, cinnamon, and dessert too, with local oranges, tea and cocoa! The walk through the rice paddies of Roshan's village was beautiful, and by the end of the day, we were wishing we had chosen the longer trip which involved a homestay. If we ever make it back to Sri Lanka we will be booking again, as this was the highlight of our trip and I cannot recommend it highly enough. A word of warning though, wear long pants, bug repellent and sturdy shoes- getting to the falls involves some rough tracks, and one of those had a thriving community of leeches. Don't let this put you off at all though, the waterfall at the end of the path is without a doubt worth it, as is the swim, lunch, and all the sights along the way. Thanks again Roshan for an absolutely wonderful time. Amazing, wish we could do it again!
