Thunhisgala sri lanka Tourist Place


 πŸ–‹️ Thunhisgala, or somebody called Kalupahana, is the 6th highest peak in the Knuckles Mountain range. It divides both Kandy and Matale districts, where it is situated on the border. The highest point of this mountain is 1617m above sea level. Thunhisgala is not a famous destination among most Sri Lankan travelers. But it is very popular among local hikers and mountaineers.

Location

Thunhisgala is situated in the middle of the Knuckles Forest Range, where it is extremely difficult to reach. There are three main routes you can choose to do the hike:

Thunhisgala Hike

There is no public transportation available on each of the above routes. If you like to cross this lovely mountain, we recommend you choose the first route, which is via Wateegama, Bambarella, and Lebonon Estate. The buses are available from Wategama to Bambarella. Since you need to walk more than ten kilometers to complete your goal,

The other two routes are not commonly used, but either from Meemure or from Riverston, it is a hard journey to complete through the dense forest. If you choose any of the above routes, we recommend you bring a well-trained guide.

Lebonon Estate to Thunhisgala

If you choose the above-mentioned first route, your walk will start at the Lebonon Estate. It is the last human-inhabited area on that route. From there, you will enter the jungle first. Rathnagiriya Mountain and Wind Mountain are the two mountain peaks you will meet during this journey. A 5- to 6-kilometer walk will take you to the KMP Wadiya. It is an old house that was built by the Cadamom planters in the late 20th century.
