Thunhisgala/Kalupahana (1627m) Hike

Thunhisgala (1627m)/Kalupahana is a prominent peak of Kncukles massif sitauted at center of Knuckles forest reserve. This was my back to back journey to Kalupahana within two weeks after attempted hike to Thunhisgala but ended up it’s side peak.

Missed target at Knuckles Kalupahana-Thunhisgala (1627m)

Thunhisgala/ Kalupahana is a prominent peak of Knuckles massif with 1627m height. It is situated at center of Knuckles area-Kalupahana which was covered with Cardamom estates 30 years ago. The reason for the name Thunhisgala is due to three peaks in climbing. (Thun+His+Gala) (තුන්+හිස්+ගල). Alternative meaning is three ridges meet together to form the mountain.

Bambarella to Ranamure by Hiking Thunhisgala (Kalupahana ) and Exploring Duwili Eli (The Extreme Hike of the Year )

There had been some discussions with Ashan, me and Nishan to do a Mega journey starting from Bambarella and reach KMP at Kalupahana then climb Thunhisgala and descend to Pallegama by exploring Duwili eli. Although I had been to Duwili Eli once from Etanwala, Thunhisgala was a dream for me. Ashan and Amila went for a two day hike to Thunhisgala but I couldn’t join them as I couldn’t take leave from my work place. So I missed their journey.

තුන්හිස්ගල (Kalupahana 1627m) hike of the year

Every year there is something on top of my to-do list and this year also was no exception. It was something mysterious and well researched by me. Been a very dry year I decided to ride my luck. Thunhisgala / Kalupahana is one of the center most peaks of Knuckles conservation area providing the best view of the forest reserve. My attempts on searching for a guide was the most troublesome thing and hearing that the path to KMP wadiya was overgrown brought up some concerns.
