Kukulagala/ Diyatalawa Hike (1532m)

Kukulagala mountain is situated near Rikillagaskada and it also is known as Diyatalawa mountain in Metric Map. We have noticed this mountain on the way to our Loolkandura. After a few months,  we planned this hike and it was much easy for us since one of our friend is living at Nuwaraeliya.

We came from Moratuwa to Rikillagaskada around 7 am and wait for Madusanka. After he came he took the lead to the footpath of this mountain. Hence we were able to come to a place where we can keep our bikes too. We start this hike as much as earlier in the morning and was able to achieve the summit within a few hours.

After the hike, we headed to Nuwaraeliya to spend the night at Madusanka’s home. Since we have more time, we visited Geogery Park and enjoyed walking and engage in some activities. Read more about Nuwaraeliya in Deep
