Not called Sri Lanka’s most dangerous mountain for nothing. This climb is far removed from the usual climbing attractions at Knuckles. Standing at a height of 1310 meters makes it only the 14th highest peak in Sri Lanka, but every experienced climber has declared it the most difficult to summit. The literal translation of Lakegala is the Rock of Lanka. 

Lakegala has a unique triangular shape, which is its most prominent feature and is visible from miles away. Most importantly, unlike its neighboring mountains, Lakegala is the only mountain in the Knuckles mountain range that requires rock climbing techniques to reach the summit. Which means that it is the most challenging climb to attempt in Sri Lanka. Because of its challenging terrain and steep inclines, Lakegala attracts adventure enthusiasts and experienced climbers worldwide.

Do you want to be a part of the crowd who can say that they took on the challenge and completed it? Then come join us on this adventure right away.

The first leg of our journey begins with a 5.2 km hike to reach the bottom of Lakegala, and this is the easy part. 

Before we attempt to start climbing, our team will give you a Safety briefing and information on what to expect on this journey. 

Time to start the ascent. We will use scrabbling techniques to take us to the summit.  

We made it! Take this time to enjoy your achievement and take in spectacular views of the Knuckles mountain range, the Dumbara forest, and the surrounding villages. The area has over 50 waterfalls and streams, including the Garadigala Falls, Bambaragath Oya Falls, Dust Falls, Hasalaka Oya Falls, and Huluganga Falls. 

It’s not over yet. We now have a 70 foot abseiling challenge prepared for you to get the best out of this journey. 

We hope you aren’t fully exhausted yet. We still have a hike back to bottom of Lakegala and then back to Meemure from there. You can do it!

Well done! We hope you had a great time!
