I discussed this with my friend at Nuwaraeliya and we planned to visit this on June 2017. As he got information we used Hewenakumbura road near to Keppettipola junction at Badulla-Nuwaraeliya road. Then we came near to the mountain by asking the information from the villagers. Then at a point we met the useful person who has been there a month ago. He showed us the footpath where it started. Hence we parked our bicycles and started the hike.

We were able to explore some hidden waterfalls in between Knuckles 5 peaks foot path and Kandasamigala. Our journey started from Gomaraya town and proceed along the road goes to Knuckles View Holiday Bungalow and Knuckles Plantation Bungalow. Then we go to the end of the road and entered to the forest along a water stream. Then we climbed the Kandasamigala and got down to the upper part of the stream which we followed at the beginning.

We can travel up to the Swarnagiri maha viharaya Temple via the narrow road by any vehicle but after that we have to walk or else go by a 4WD vehicle.
