The Knuckles – named for the fist-like silhouette of its ridgeline – is a UNESCO-listed mountain wilderness of cloud forest, river valleys, waterfalls, and endemic biodiversity that rises above the cultural triangle in a landscape of dramatic and largely unspoiled beauty. Its trails range from short nature walks to multi-day treks through forest camps, and the villages scattered across the range offer authentic interaction with highland communities who have lived among these mountains for generations. Less visited than the southern hill country, the Knuckles rewards those who seek it with a sense of genuine discovery.
