 Its highest mountain is Pig Mountain.

 There are several ways to enter the Hanthana mountain range,

          (Along the adjacent footpath)





 In addition, there are a number of other routes from areas such as Mahakanda, Bowalawatta and Deltota. The University of Peradeniya is located adjacent to the Hanthana Range. In Hanthana it is often more likely to get lost because the mountain is covered in fog in a matter of seconds. You have to buy a ticket to climb the mountain (Rs. 50). At the top of Hanthana mountain you can see Peacock hill, Kabaragala, Alagalla, Batalegala mountains and Kadugannawa.Here you can see the place called Katusukonda near Uragala which is the highest mountain. It's so named because it looks like a lizard's backbone. This rock with a very narrow top is located with a straight slope on one side and a large slope on the other side. There is no shortage of leeches during the rainy season and he has to be careful of wasps in some places.

  Mahinda Bandara, If there's been a Lead Guitar Solo on Electric Guitar in Sri Lanka, the first guess we get is, "Ah, this must be Mahinda Bandara."  From Rookantha to Raju Bandara to Nirosha Virajini's guitar parts in songs, they are owned by Mahinda Bandara.  In many other songs we do not know, the guitar is played by Mahinda Bandara.  Mahinda Bandara is our "Guitar Hero" in Sri Lanka.  Mahinda Bandara's Playing is so improvised that the 2nd solo of the song "Me Diganthaya" was directly improvised.  It's not tabbed anywhere, but it's like the essence of the song.( Diganthaye by Mahinda Bandara - YouTube )  While composing the song, Mahinda Bandara was able to recreate the guitar vibe of Rock's Glam Metal inside Sri Lanka.  For us in Sri Lanka, a guitarist who has been an inspiration in every way.

Somehow by the time the sun went down in the evening there was an unspeakably beautiful view.💆🏻‍♂️ The most beautiful part of the trip is when it gets a little late.

At sunset in the morning the top of Kabaragala looked very beautiful with a different view. Anyway, after a little light, we took our breakfast and headed to our destination.
