There are many mountains situated around the Kurunegala – Dambulla main road and I’m still unable to climb most of them due to the lack of free time and availability. However, I had to visit one of my office friend’s function and I wanted to go there on my motorbike. Since I had enough time to explore the beauties around the road I used that time to explore some mountains over the route and I visited those areas to grab details for future hikes with my friends.

Galewela is an intermediate town situated at Kurunegala-Dambulla road. There are a lot of archaeological places around Galewela and this is a pinch of it.

Karanampotha Mountain (639m) is an isolated peak situated between Melsiripura and Galewela areas, facing Kurunegala-Dambulla road. It is closely related to the mountain where famous Na Uyana Aranya (නා උයන ආරණ‍ය) is situated.

Beliya Kanda is a triangular shape isolated mountain seen at Galewela area. It has a height of 613m. The top of Beliya Kanda has a forest coverage therefore doesn’t provide a good view towards surrounding mountains.
