The Hanthana mountain range in Kandy is popular among those who like to go hiking, camping, bird watching and be close to nature in any way.In total, there are seven individual peaks, the highest being Ura kanda. The peaks offer spectacular views of Kandy city, the Knuckles range, thedolosbage range of Aranayake, and the hills of the Sabaragamuwa region, too, can be spotted from here.

Trekking, camping and bird watching in Alagalla the Potato Mountain Range near Kandy
Reviewed By kelum - Kandy District, Sri Lanka
Find the earliest bus to Poththapitiya -you may get it at the Good Shed bus stand ,and start the climb as early as possible. Poththapitiya is a sleepy little town and whatever the food you may need for the climb could be bought there. The road to the mountain begins from the town itself and the time it may take would be around 2 hours at leisure. Path is good enough with first part of it being through the village .Ascent begins later ,first through the little forest and later among the mana grass as the climb gets steep. There is a section with a collection of boulders right before the summit and care is needed when negotiating through them up on to the summit. Behold the vista which is virtually 360 degrees with literally a third of Srilanka in the eye. Alagalle rarely covers itself in mist so the view is a near guarantee.You have two options for the climb down .Amore adventurous one would be the decent to the rail track near Ihala Kotte station,for which a guide and a rope would be needed as the left side of the somewhat steep rock at the summit requires a rope to help yourself down it. Or you could negotiate your way back along the same route used for ascent. Risk level is mostly moderate and leech protection is a need. Public transport is available from Poththapitiya to Kandy until night fall.

Hiking in Riverston Sri Lanka was an unexpected highlight of my journey throughout the island. Riverston is a region best defined by the popular term, ‘off the beaten path’. We drove for several hours, parked in the middle of nowhere and then embarked on a hike. We headed across the river and through the rice fields and farmland. There is minimal signage but luckily we had our guide Lukobanda to guide us up. The hike doesn’t have a specific name according to the locals other than the Riverston Hike. The hike looks out over the Knuckles mountain range and the surrounding highlands. It’s one of the short day trip hikes in the area. The end of the hike ends with a sharp 300m drop, which made for some pretty epic photos. From here you can chill and take in the views of the Thelgamuwa Valley, the terraced rice fields, and the Knuckles mountain range. This spot is called ‘The Worlds End’.The hike is 5km long but not incredibly difficult.

This is an Agriculture Research Station..which is mainly culturing seed potatoes.which is a serious procedure so they will not allow any out side vehicle to enter inside.reason to avoid fungus,bacteria or any harmful threats for the potato production. Its a bumpy ride to the top..and its worth to see all the 9 mountains out of famous 10 of sri lanka if you are lucky with the climate. Top is very windy and cold so wear jackets and cover up the kids..
