The Border Adventures team were the best adventure tour operators and guides I have experienced, the professionalism and attention to detail were second to none.Nish the tour coordinator went over and above to assist me and the tour guides are all local, ex-Army & Special Forces so they know the terrain and you are in as safe hands as you could possibly get.Bypass the rest and book Border Adventures!

This was my first solo trip, and as a girl traveling alone, I had plenty of questions and doubts. I went abseiling at Thaliya Wetuna Falls, and the guides were incredible. I can be pretty clumsy, but they took great care of me and made sure I felt safe the entire time. I almost backed out at the top of the falls, but one of the guides kept encouraging me and reassured me he wouldn’t let me fall. They’re truly experts at what they do. For any girls considering this adventure solo, there’s also a female coordinator available for added comfort. Overall, it was an exhilarating experience!

Visiting from the US with some friends, and decided to book a guided tour to hike to the summits of the Knuckles. It was a once in a life time experience and we had an absolute blast. The views & euphoria at the summits are stunning. You can legitimately feels the clouds rolling through you. A few pointers I would like to add for anyone thinking about booking this excursion: 1.) Make sure you have the proper gear for the trek.. hiking boots, long socks, cargo pants, and a long sleeve shirt. We got beaten up by leaches due to improper quipment. 2.) This is classified as an "easy" hike.. if you are not in good physical shape/fitness you will not survive this trek. Even though it is classified as easy it is extremely physically demanding (we are in our late 20s and exercise frequently.. we range in weight from 70-80 kg & still struggled pretty bad) 3.) I am not a frequent hiker but in my opinion this is more of a mountain climbing excursion than a simple hike. Do not get the wrong impression. 4.) A HUGE shout out to our guides that were extremely professional & patient with all of us. Like I said at the beginning of the review it is a core memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Highly recommend with the pointers in mind.. happy trekking!

This has been an incredible hiking experience with The Border Adventure. You provided a highly safe and adventurous experience for us. Without your lifeguards, it would have been impossible to complete the Katusu Konda hike. I also met such lovely people on this journey. I came alone and ended up with a great set of friends who matched my vibes. Thank you, Border Adventures. I look forward to catching up on another adventure. 🥂❤️

Knuckles 5 Peak gem of Sri LankaI recently went on my first adventure tour with Border Adventures and had an absolutely fantastic experience. They praised the well-organized hiking activity and the knowledgeable, experienced guides Lojith, Jayalath and Heshan ensured everyone's safety and provided interesting insights into the local area. The hiking trail offered breath taking views, was challenging but manageable for all levels of hikers, and the comfortable pace allowed them to enjoy the scenery and take plenty of photos. I highly recommends Border Adventures for a memorable outdoor experience and is eagerly anticipating their next adventure with them!

It was an unforgettable experience that left me with a profound appreciation for the great outdoors. The professionalism and expertise of The Border Adventures team were evident from the start. They provided comprehensive pre trip information, ensuring I was well prepared for the journey ahead. As a novice, I was particularly grateful for their attention to detail and willingness to address any concerns I had. I highly recommend The Border Adventures to anyone seeking to explore the great outdoors with a knowledgeable and passionate team. I look forward to my next adventure with them.

Really good experience with this company for our hike. They drove us to the start of the five peaks and explained how to do the hike, waited for us and drove back. Would definitely recommend doing this as a guide isn’t necessary for the hike if you don’t have kids and have a decent fitness level.

Myself and my wife completed the knuckles hike and overnight camp and it was the crowning jewel of our adventures in Sri Lanka. The views were breathtaking, though the heat and climb certainly added to it, and the little dog that joined us for the WHOLE HIKE made it even more fun. We were lucky with the weather and had the most incredible sunset and rise either of us have ever seen. Our guides Jagath and Shan were amazing and the food they prepared in the evening was fantastic and exactly what we needed. For anyone wanting to do what we did, we would advise taking some warmer clothes (for overnight) but otherwise we wouldn't change a thing.10/10 would recommend

Operate by SriLankan Ex Airforce Well trained crew. You got all you need in place with them. I'm a solo traveller and had a wonderful hike with The border adventures team. Lojith, the owner as well as his team are skilled and well qualified on what they do. We were provided guidence with thorough handling on Abselling, medical care, climbing, hiking, food, tents and extra fabrication to make our hike a remarkable. I could highly recommend the team with extra more stars for the dedication and commitment they put for us throughout the journey. Each and every details added to a great hike and decided to travel more with you 👍
