My First hike to Uthuwan Kanda done in 2003 when I’m in grade 10. I still remember that we went there as Alter service association of our church. We went to a Church at Mawanella and in the evening our Rev. Fr. took us to show the Uthuwan Kanda. We were guided by a villager and we sent to the top of the mountain but our Fr. didn’t give the permission to climb up the giant rocks. This is a beautiful mountain in this area and a best place to check the surrounding and it was clear that Saradiel used this mountain for that purpose. This is the beginning of the valley of central province mountains.
After a decade I was able to visit this smallest beauty again with my Sobasiri friends and were able to climb up the mountain. Those days there were no many people around hence we feel the freedom. Later we went to a small waterfall called “Bo Ella” and had a wash on our return journey from Kandy after another adventure.
