I am staying in Galle and want to do a day hike. Can I walk the trails independently or are guides mandatory at the gate.

Accepted Answer

Yes, a guide is mandatory to enter the Kanneliya Forest Reserve. You can hire a certified tracker directly at the entrance gate for a very reasonable fee. They are essential not just for navigation, but also for spotting endemic birds and reptiles that you would otherwise walk right past.
