How long does the Nil Diya Pokuna tour take?

A complete tour of Nil Diya Pokuna usually lasts around 2 to 4 hours, depending on your fitness level and the size of your group. In that span, you do the jungle walk in, the descent, you spend time at the pond, and then that tough climb back out. Yes, it really is gruelling.


Just going down can take as long as an hour, mainly because you need careful footwork on those slippery stones. Time in the pond adds another 30 to 45 minutes to the plan. The climb upward often feels quicker, but it is more physically punishing, so you end up taking frequent short pauses to catch your breath.
