Knuckles range homestays for the extreme Duwili Ella cave waterfall hike
4 Answers from travellers
You must start from either Meemure or Atanwala. Meemure offers fantastic traditional mud-brick homestays where you can rest the night before. You CANNOT do this hike alone; it is extreme jungle trekking. Your homestay host will arrange a mandatory village guide and porters to carry the food and camping gear for the cave.
Sleeping in the cave behind the falling water is the most surreal experience. But the noise of the waterfall is deafening, bring earplugs!
The village guides will bring basic supplies and cook hot rice and canned fish curries over a fire right inside the cave.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
