Devil’s Staircase Hike

Twists, Cliffs & Cloud-Touched Peaks

One of Sri Lanka’s most thrilling off-road adventures, the Devil’s Staircase is a steep zigzagging trail carved into the central highlands, linking Ohiya to Kalupahana. The hike or 4×4 journey takes you past dramatic drops, tea estates, mountain ridges, and open cliffside bends. It’s not for the faint-hearted—but the reward is worth it.
