Kandy (Sinhalese: මහනුවර Mahanuwara, pronounced [mahanuʋərə]; Tamil: கண்டி, pronounced [ˈkaɳɖi]) is a major city in Sri Lanka located in the Central Province.

5. Alagalla Mountain Range

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.
