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. (Advisable to walk in an average speed from haputale to idalgashinna part as you will miss the beauty from idalgashinna to ohiya if it gets darker. Some How We Managed our walking pace for the next part)
