A place to visit in the up country if you are visiting Nuwara Eliya. Much loved by the hikers and a super place for long walks. Amazing views of the mountains and specialized for rare plants.

Spectacular views and a wonderful area for birds of every kind. Mr Sumane Bandara is the expert guide of the area and has a Guest House and Expedition Center in Kandy and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting to arrange tours of anywhere in Sri Lanka.
