点评:We have just finished the 3 day Knuckles trek and it really was a spectacular Sri Lankan jungle experience. We stayed one night at the jungle campsite which was great, clean and dry tent, eating/kitchen area and even a bathroom. The campsite has a spring running through it with clean drinking water. Everything here is very eco and with a leave-no-trace mindset. (And no mozzies!) The second night we stayed at a home in a small village. We had our own private room with bathroom and were very comfortable. The food provided by the family and all along the hikes was exceptional. The hiking itself was magical with rain forests and waterfalls, summiting the highest peak, scrambling up rocks and under bamboo arches, through valleys and tiny villages. There are leeches but Hema provides leech socks to protect you and the team are very vigilant at spraying your legs with leech oil. Hema is very knowledgeable and loves to tell you all about the landscape and wildlife - he is a wealth of information. His porters are also very lovely (often leading us with bare feet!) and also great cooks!. We had his brother Jagget guide us for our third day and he was also super lovely and helpful.
We are both pretty fit and used to hiking - we found this to be a fun and at times challenging hike - but never too difficult.
翻译:我们刚刚结束了为期三天的纳克尔斯徒步之旅,这真是一次令人叹为观止的斯里兰卡丛林体验。我们在丛林营地住了一晚,营地很棒,帐篷干净干燥,还有用餐/厨房区,甚至还有浴室。营地里有一条泉水,水质清澈,可以直接饮用。这里的一切都非常环保,秉持着“无痕山林”的理念。(而且没有蚊子!)第二晚,我们住在一个小村庄的一户人家里。我们拥有自己的独立房间和浴室,住得很舒适。这家人提供的食物以及徒步途中提供的食物都非常美味。徒步本身也令人着迷,我们穿越了热带雨林和瀑布,登上了最高峰,攀爬岩石,穿过竹拱门,途经山谷和宁静的小村庄。虽然有水蛭,但Hema会提供防蛭袜来保护你,而且团队也会非常警惕地在你的腿上喷洒防蛭油。Hema知识渊博,乐于分享关于这里的风景和野生动物的一切——他简直就是一本活的百科全书。他的搬运工们也都非常可爱(经常光着脚带路!),而且厨艺精湛!第三天,他的兄弟贾格特带我们徒步,他也非常友善热情,乐于助人。
我们俩身体素质都不错,也经常徒步——我们觉得这次徒步既有趣又有挑战性,但始终都不算太难。
