So, in this article we are going to tell you another beautiful mountain that is suitable for both hiking and camping in Sri Lanka. It is the Namunukula mountain. This is the highest mountain in the Uva Province. If you have ever traveled on the Badulla Passara road there is no reason not to see this mountain. It is said that the mountain was named as Namunukula, with the meaning of nine peaks. Namunukula is one of the 10 highest mountain ranges in Sri Lanka. This peak is 2036 meters above sea level.
As I said before, this is a great mountain for hiking and camping. If you are going to cross this mountain, you must first come to Badulla. There are two main roads leading to this mountain range from Badulla. One is the road through Nirmalai in Spring Valley. The other way is the Diyanagala road via Glen Alpin. You'll have to travel about 15 kilo meters from Badulla to get to the hill stations on both these roads. Both ways are beautiful. I am passing many beautiful tea estates.
If you are traveling along Spring Valley, Memale and Nallamalai, then you can take a bus to Nallamalai. By the time you pass the devalaya you have already crossed over half of the Namunukula range. Don't forget to pay homage to the temple. You can reach the top of the mountain by an hour's drive through the turpentine treehouse near the temple
The other route to the mountain is the 3-mile post in Badulla Passara road. You can reach Diyanagala village by about an hour's journey. The paths through the jungle are both difficult and tedious. But when you go up, the cold doesn't make you tired.
Since the Namunukula mountain is considered to be the site where the ancient Indika deity lived, I request you to follow this religion before you climb this mountain. Because the villagers believe that this mountain has some power. We therefore urge people not to drink alcohol and to behave decently.
The top of the ridge is truly beautiful. Most of the time the mountain is covered with fog. From this mountain you can visit the lowlands of the Southern, Eastern and Uva Central provinces of Sri Lanka. The view from the top of the mountain is really strange. Also, the camping area is very favorable as it offers a lot of spacious views on the top of the mountain. There is also a water table on the top of the mountain. If you are climbing this mountain, it is not necessary to carry water.
At the top of the mountain is a beautiful ecosystem of flowers. So, there is nothing wrong with going there and camping. Never hurt its beautiful surroundings. The sunrise from here is absolutely beautiful. In the morning and at night the storms are very cold. So be prepared for it. At the top of the mountain is a large area of Piduruthalagala , Narangala , Knuckles and the central hills.
I have a small request from you all, please don’t pollute the area. If you brought something don’t leave it, take it home and put it into a dustbin. Enjoy the view, take photos do whatever you want but don’t pollute the environment. It’s our responsibility to keep our world clean.
Don’t forget to visit this place if you are travelling in Badulla-Passara road.
Thank you.
