Karawita Kanda Hike / Eluwagala – 595m

Karawita Kanda which is known as Eluwagala is a unique famous mountain range in Karawita Samanpura area in Kalawana. This is a single mountain range which is belongs to minor mountains in lower areas of the country. The name of “Karawita kanda” mentioned in the metric map but locals use “Eluwagala” as it’s name. 

Eluwagala is not a hard climb but little difficult to hike during rainy season as usual. There is only one rocky plain at the top of the mountain and it is marked in the Metric map as the “Karawita Kanda” and height for 594m. Our initial hike was from a tea patch and after that we walkied along a dried water stream. Finally we reached to a Kekilla bushy area and within few minutes were able to come to the top of the mountain.

Waterfall hunting in Rathnapura-Kalawana road

Although I describe all these waterfalls under Rathnapura-Kalawana road, they are situated some distance away from the main road except Rajanawa Falls. Road condition of Rathnapura-Kalawana road is good following constructions. But road conditions are not good in some byroads.
