Go where you feel most alive 🍃 ~ Hanthana mountain range - Kandy, Sri Lanka. ~ Located 1240 m above sea level, the Hanthana mountain range stretches all the way from the Kandy city to the town of Galaha, 20 km south. The freshwater springs on the western end of Hanthana feed the waters of the Mahaweli river, and the tributaries of the river separate the individual hills of the range. In total, there are seven individual peaks, the highest being Ura kanda. ⭕Height - 3800 ft. The peaks offer spectacular view of Kandy city, the Knuckles range, the "dolosbage" range of Aranayake, and the hills of the Sabaragamuwa region. Aside from beautiful scenery and a breathtaking panorama from its peaks, Hanthana is a favourite travel spot for many foreigners as well as local trekkers and specially for local University students. ⭕ A little fun fact - The Peradeniya University itself is nestled on the lower slopes of the Hanthana mountain range, on a 1,080 acre stretch of land. One of the best places to visit while trekking through the hills of Hanthana is the Hanthana viharaya (temple), which dates back to the days of the Kandyan Kingdom. Located 10 km away from Kandy City, it is the temple situated on the highest elevation in Kandy. ⭕According to Article No. 47 of the 1980 National Environmental Act, Hanthana has been named a protected nature reserve. Fishing cats, civets, wild boars, hares, monkeys, leopards, foxes, and hedgehogs are a few of the animals which have made the hills of Hantana their home. Around 120 different species of birds, too, have been found on these hills. ~ Sources; ⭕ Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanthana_Mountain_Range ⭕Roarmedia - https://roar.media/english/life/travel/all-about-the-hills-of-hanthana/ ~ #voyagedsl #voyaged #voyage #voyager #srilanka #srilankaholiday #srilankadaily #srilankatourism #srilankatravel #srilankaevening #srilankamountains #visitsrilanka #riseupsrilanka #visitsrilanka #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #clouds #cloudporn #kandysrilanka #hanthana #hanthanamountainrange #hanthanahills #srilanka🇱🇰 (at Hanthana Mountain Range) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXVqaiBSso/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fmb734i5nhqd

Sashidaran and his little daughter

  – An  unforgettable people with humble and warmly smiles. It was closer to the noon, I was keep waking through the Hanthana road towards Kandy. Both the road sides were covered by either the forest, or the tea plantations. Although the density of the forest was reduced and dried out due to lack of rain but the breeze came across the mountains yet cooler and blend with fragrance of tea and…

Ambuluwawa Mountain in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 ..........

From Gampola town take the Hemmatagama road for about 5 km to reach the Ambuluwawa hill access road.

Situated on an area of ​​about 927 acres, this hill is isolated from other mountain ranges.

Due to the Chaitya located on the hill at a height of 3567 feet above sea level, this place has become a unique place.

This dagoba can be easily seen from Gampola town.

It is possible to walk from the foot of the mountain. It is also possible to inject in a vehicle up to the base of the dagoba.

Most people cross this entire distance on foot to have an amazing experience.

Mountaineers do not feel tired because of the cool breeze and the shade of the tree-lined road.

A Catholic church, a Hindu temple, a mosque and a Buddhist temple have been built on the top of the hill to accommodate people of different faiths.

This stupa which was built to mark agriculture is called Govijana Seya.

There is a Buddha statue at the end of the road and statues of gods and goddesses have been created in the rooms from there.

The stone Buddha statue in the temple, which was built on a flat ground on a hill, shows the skill of the present day carpenter.

A Bo tree which originated from the Eastern branch of the Sri Maha Bodhi tree in Anuradhapura is also perched on the top of the hill.

Overcoming all this, the 400 feet high Govijana Seya is a unique one.

You must go to the top of the stupa to experience an incredible adventure.

The uniqueness of the stupa is the stairs that lead to its top.

Part of it should go through the dagoba and the rest from the outside. For maximum enjoyment, the entire trek should take place outside the Chaitya.

Gradually the narrow staircase ends by closing the gap between the dagoba wall and the handrail.

During the last few steps, you can enter the stalls and switch from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

This should be done very carefully as the stairs are windy.

From here you can see 360 ​​degrees without any obstacles from any mountain.

On a clear day, even the ocean is visible to the naked eye.

In the distance Sacred Butterfly Mountain, Namunukula, Knuckles Mountains, Hanthana, Batalegala, Pidurutalagala, Alagalla, Moneragala, Rakshawa, Saptha Kanya, Hunnasgiriya, Bhairava Kanda, Utuwankanda, Balapokuna, Kalugala, Muloya, Peopi, Ahupini, Ahupini, Ahupini Mountains as well as a number of mountain systems not mentioned here can be closely observed.

It is home to endemic species as well as a rich biodiversity.

Launched in 1997, the historic mountain was selected by the United Nations in 2002 as the World's Best Developed Mountain and opened to the public on September 18, 2007.

The city of Gampola, the city of Kandy and the Mahaweli river that flows through it create a spectacular view ...
