The Thrilling and Scenic Drive of the Devil’s Staircase

This 14km route, starting from Kalupahana Junction, winds its way all the way to Ohiya, taking you through steep, twisting tea estate roads with breathtaking views of lush valleys, misty mountains, and endless greenery.

While you can travel the same route downhill from Ohiya, we highly recommend going uphill from Kalupahana—the higher you go with us, the more the adventure unfolds!

Along the way, you’ll pass the stunning Bambarakanda Falls, the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka, and navigate some seriously bumpy, narrow paths where our expert drivers guide you with ease. The best part? The constantly changing climate — experience cool mountain air one moment and warmer, tropical vibes the next, all while the route can get extremely misty and foggy, adding a mystical charm to the journey.

We’ll also make stops to enjoy the little things— whether it’s a quick dip in a natural pool, a visit to a peaceful temple, or grabbing a bite to eat with a hot cup of tea or coffee while soaking in the views. This journey truly lets you experience the heart of Sri Lanka’s highlands.

The journey ends in the serene village of Ohiya, where the adventure comes full circle. Come join us for the ride of a lifetime!
