Climb the narrow ridgeline trail of the Devil’s Staircase. A dramatic descent/ascend in Sri Lanka’s central highlands, offering sweeping views and a sense of being above the clouds. Starting from near Ohiya or Kalupahana, the hike weaves through mist-clad tea estates and rolling hills before plunging into valleys and forest patches. On clear mornings, you can glimpse distant plains or even the southern coastline in the far horizon.

It’s an ideal route for hikers seeking dramatic scenery without overly technical climbing. The moderate difficulty and shifting terrain. A mix of tea-country slopes, ridgelines, and forest tracks make it a pleasing mix of challenge and reward.
