Year 2018 is not for instantaneous trips but to cover up long awaited dream hikes. Mandaram Nuwara to Piduruthalagala was once a dream since 2009 and Malaka’s report played a major part in it.

Kallebokka is a estate in Panwila – kabaragala road next to Madulkele, Central Province, Sri Lanka. It is located at an elevation of 1175 meters above sea level. The 360 View point located at the highest peak in the division/estate is the attractive place where most of the locals visit to view the surrounding beauties. We can see knuckles range with it’s highest peaks and the famous Sembuwatta Lake also can be seen. A ticket of 100/- is issued at the entrance passing the village.The road uphill is tough and all vehicles cannot be driven to the top. Bikes and 4 wheel drivers are recommended. You will never regret after reaching the top.

Single Tree is about 2105m and Kikiliyamana about 2143m and they are the border of Nuwaraeliya from Western side. Reaching to the both peaks is very easy and no need of special permission. The Single Tree road is situated near to the Race Course (6.961011, 80.767516). 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.

We got back to rail track before about 500m to Idalgashinna Station and walked towards the station along the track. We had out snacks at the Station and started the restof the journey at about 4.00pm from there.
