Randenigala mountain range is a unique and lesser-visited area due to the massive risk of wild elephants. Because all the drivers can see elephants at Raja Mawatha which go through the VRR forest reserve where no other residences or even a single resting place on that road. We had this experience along with our Hegasulla Hike done on the same day morning. After we came to the top of Hegasulla Mountain we decided to descend to the Randenigala range and climb up all three main peaks of the range.

It was a very hard hike as we were lack of water. Our water reserve was finished at Hegasulla and however, we started our trek to Randenigala range with a hope that we will meet up a stream. It was not difficult as we had to walk through Maana bushes and at some point it was difficult on climbing as falling of rocks and slippering.

Heagasulla mountain is  a very beautiful destination but it is more risky than we expected. This is the forest called VRR Forest Reserve (Victoria-Randenigala-Rantambe). We had our first visit to VRR Reserve for the Galpadihela and Kosgolla mountain hike on October 2017. Before that we reached to the Golumale which is at the border of VRR Forest reserve.

This is another exploration of Victoria-Randenigala-Rantambe reserve into unfamiliar three peaks: Neluwekanda, Amukanatemuduna and Calhiriyakanda. 11km+ walk over hills with breathtaking view over one day.
