Like many Asian countries, westerners are often amazed by the traffic and the hustle and bustle of the major cities and towns however the locals navigate the roads with ease.  Hidden Trails utilise a selection of Sri Lanka's best drivers and all vehicles are of the highest standard and maintained/serviced regularly.  In the unlikely event of a breakdown, Hidden Trails have at its disposal back up vehicles that can be deployed immediately so that your trip can continue with minimal inconvenience to your itinerary.

All guides were initially recommended to us by our in-country partners and interviewed by Stewart Kreltszheim & Peter Miller to ensure their suitability to meet the high standards expected by the international trekking community.  Each guide is then trained personally by Peter & Stewart who accompany them on treks until they are satisfied with their competency and proficiency in keeping a trekking group safe while explaining the history, flora, fauna and stories of this spectacular country.

Only Hidden Trails - Sri Lanka offer such a vast range of treks along paths never before opened up for the international trekking community. We have obtained special permission to take our guests into world heritage wilderness areas.  Partnering with local communities, many of our treks have been navigated, mapped, rated (1 chilli to 5 chilli) and even named by Stewart and Peter.
