Green mountains covered with silky mist, waterfalls and natural pools, acres of paddy fields together with lovely villagers, make this forest village one of the most beautiful places in Sri Lanka.
Major activities of this specific location were adventurous excursions like trekking, hiking and camping in the middle of a breath-taking mountain village. Kolapathana Ella , Elamulla Ella, Kabara-gala Ella, Kalu Palam Ella, and Digala Hinna Ella are the main waterfalls that you can cover in Mandaran Nuwara.

තොටුපොල කන්ද තරණය (Thotupola Mountain Hike), Horton Plains (2019)
Here we enjoyed the true beauty of Thotupola Kanda on a chilly but wonderful morning. We were the only humans on this trail both ways and it was such a luxury. This is a wonderful nature trail where you can truly enjoy the upcountry montane forest.
Thotupola Kanda, also sometimes referred as the Thotupola Peak or Thotupola Mountain, is the third highest mountain in Sri Lanka situated in Nuwara Eliya district 2,357 m (7,733 ft) above mean sea level.
Mountain is placed within the Horton Plains National Park. About two kilometers long trail is there to the top of the mountain that starts few meters away from the Pattipola entrance to the Horton Plains National Park.
Most part of the mountain surface is covered with shrubs adapted to the cool and windy climate of Horton Plains National Park.
Thotupola Kanda has the meaning of ‘Landing Site’ in Sinhala Language which related to a legend of Rama and Ravana.
According to the legend, long ago in India, Prince Rama and his beautiful wife Sita lived in exile in the jungle. When the sister of powerful Sri Lankan King Ravana's sister once visited the jungle of Rama, she was mistreated. Once she returned home, she complained to her brother King Ravana about this and he swore to take revenge.
Taking his mythical plane, Dandumonara, he flew to India and kidnapped Sita and returned to Sri Lanka. On his way back, he landed first at Thotupola Kanda thus giving it this name.

Trekking through Thangamale Sanctuary | තංගමලේ අභයභූමිය, Idalgashinna to Haputale (2019)
This is the Video Journey of our Trek through Thangamale Sanctuary located between Idalgashinna and Haputale parallel to the Upcountry Railway Line and bordering the famous Adisham Bungalow.
Thangamale Sanctuary is governed by the Wildlife Department and is popular among trekkers and bird watchers. This forestry trail may have been used in the past to connect the rural villages of Idalgashinna, Ohiya and Udaweriya to Haputale. It seems the same trail continues through Idalgashinna towards Udaweriya branching off to Ohiya and Kalupahana there.
Idalgashinna Mountain, Idalgashinna Railway Station, Idalgashinna Rock, Railway Tunnel 36, Beragala Kanda aka Wewekele Mountain and Adisham Bunngalow are the main attractions.
In addition to them you can enjoy mountains all the way to Nuwara Eliya such as Piduruthalagala, Kikiliyamana, Haggala, Boralanda, Udaweriya, etc. On the other side, Diyathalawa, Fox Hill, Nayabedda, Namunukula, Narangala, etc. can be seen.

Documentary of Kirigalpoththa Mountain | කිරිගල්පොත්ත කඳු තරණය, Horton Plains (2013)
Kirigalpotta is the 2nd tallest mountain in Sri Lanka at 2,388 m (7,835 ft) above mean sea level, and is also the highest mountain in the country whose summit is accessible to the general public (the highest point, Pidurutalagala, is occupied by a military base and off-limits to the public). The peak is situated near the city of Nuwara Eliya, within the Nuwara Eliya District. Only one 7 km (4 mi) hiking trail provides access to the mountain's summit via the Horton Plains National Park, although the trail is not very popular.
Tony giving a running commentary from the Top of the 2nd Highest Peak in Sri Lanka Kirigalpoththa Mountain. It was such a grand view...

Adventurous hike from Mandaramnuwara to Piduruthalagala
Toughest climb I have ever done... from mandaram nuwara to piduruthalagala highest point... with an altitude gain of 1300m... exploring many hidden mysteries... what an adventure...
Chariot Path of King Rawana
Legend says that 'Chariot Path' is the route along which King Ravana carried Sitadevi from his capital city of Lankapura to 'Ashoka Vatika', which was a paradise on earth. We weren't sure what was so special about this barren land, so took the effort of climbing the mountain range overlooking the Frotoft estate in Pussellawa to reach an altitude of 1972m above MSL. Chariot Path is located in the Piduruthalagala forest reserve. Beauty of this place is simply mind blowing, and did easily exceed our expectations. Till date no vegetation grows on this passage except grass.
There is a very active 'Hulan Kapolla' adjacent to the Chariot Path, which makes the camping experience more enjoyable. Locals say that several water holes in the barren land known as 'Seetha's tear pond' do not dry up even during a severe drought. After an amazing camping experience there, we descended along the Mool-oya estate in Hewaheta, which is one of the most scenic tea estates in Sri Lanka.
