Thotupola Kanda Hike (2360m)

Totapolakanda (also Thotupolakanda or Thotupola Kanda), is the third highest mountain in Sri Lanka situated in Nuwara Eliya district 2,359.46 m (7,733 ft) above mean sea level. The mountain is located within the Horton Plains National Park. A trail to the top of the mountain, about two kilometers long, starts a few metres away from the Pattipola entrance to the Horton Plains National Park. Most parts of the mountain surface are covered with shrubs adapted to the cool and windy climate of Horton Plains National Park. Strobilanthes, Osbeckia and Rhodomyrtus species grown as shrubs are common among them.

Travel with Wife to Horton Plains

Horton Plains National Park is a protected area in the central highlands of Sri Lanka and is covered by montane grassland and cloud forest. This plateau at an altitude of 2,100–2,300 metres (6,900–7,500 ft) is rich in biodiversity and many species found here are endemic to the region. This region was designated a national park in 1988. It is also a popular tourist destination and is situated 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Ohiya, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the world-famous Ohiya Gap/Dondra Watch and 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Nuwara Eliya.

Kirigalpotta Hike – 2389m

වර්ෂ 1988 මාර්තු මස 16 වැනි දින ජාතික උද්‍යානයක් ලෙස නම්කරන ලද හෝර්ටන් තැන්න යනු මීටර 2100ක පමණ උසින් පිහිටි විශාල පතනකි. එම පතනේ ලංකාවේ දෙවැනි හා තෙවැනි  උසම කඳු පිහිටා තිබෙන තෝතැන්නකි. විශාල ජෛව විවිධත්වයකට හා අපූර්වතම කාලගුණික හා වනාන්තර රටාවකට උරුමකම් කියන හෝර්ටන් තැන්න 2010දී ලෝක උරුමයක් බවට පත්විය. අද අපගේ ක‍්‍රියාදාමය වනුයේ මීටර 2389ක් උසැති ලංකාවේ දෙවැනි උසම කන්ද වන කිරිගල්පොත්ත තරණය කිරීමයි. එලෙසම අවසර සහිතව එම භූමියේ කඳවුරු ලා රැුය පහන් කිරීම හා එහි වෙසෙන ප‍්‍රබලම මාංශ භක්ෂක සත්වයා වන දිවියන් පිළිබඳව සෙවීමයි.
