Kabaragala (1506m) is the highest point of Dolosbage range and one of a popular camp sites among travellers. This is my story on Kabaragala camping.

This was a unplanned journey which is done with Nirosh and few of his friends. On this day I was travelling to Kandy for a personal work by bicycle and Nirosh and his friends were roaming around Kithugala, Yatiyantota in the morning. Then I told him to join with me at Dolosbage road which can come from Nawalapitiya as they have passed Olu fall also. Then we met in the evening and headed to Dolosbage and planned to cover road side waterfalls as they didn’t visited them before. We didn;t think about the beautiful falls located bit away from the main road such as Suramba Fall, Diyathiri Fall etc.

Kabragala is a mountain in the Dolaosbage mountain range. It has the highest summit point in the range. Hiking Kabaragala became one of my ‘must do’ hike after seeing the Nadegura Documentary and Ashan’s Report. We planned several times and couldn’t do the hike due to bad weather.

Raxagala is the second highest peak of Dolosbage range and having different names. Locals called it Kinihira (කිනිහිර), Paththini amma kanda (පත්තිනි අම්මා කන්ද), Wangedi molgas gala (වන්ගෙඩි මොල්ගස් ගල )1: 50000Map shows it as Stentry box east. The idea of climbing this unusual shaped mountain came into my mind when I climbed Kabaragala-higest peak of Dolosbage range.When I searched it, I found a nice article in Sri lankan travellers. It gave me a good guidance.

We left delgoda at 5.30am and was experiencing rain for the next 1 ½ hours till we reached our first attraction of the day at Ampagala, Bulathkohupitiya being Suramba/Punahela ella. After waiting for about 10 minutes till the rain subsided we decided to get a closer look at the falls

Almost one week after the peacock hill adventure, it was time for another hike. Mount Kabaragala was an unknown mountain for me until one week back when I first saw it while I was on top of Monaragala. I had no idea about the geography and how to conquer it. Only few google images, survey departments map information and few photographs which I have taken few days back, were there for my aid. Kabaragala is unique in the sense it’s the tallest mountain peak of Dolosbage range and it has an almost flat terrain on top of it which makes you feel that you are walking in heaven.
