Thotupola Kanda Trek

Horton Plains National Park is home to Thotupola Kanda, which is the third-highest peak in Sri Lanka at 2,357 meters (7,733 feet). The Horton Plains’ mist-covered grasslands provide a unique and relatively quiet encounter for hikers at this lesser-known summit. The title “Thotupola” carries the significance of local legends, adding an intriguing mythological aspect to your exploration. A serene route that’s perfect for those who are passionate about nature, observing birds, and taking walks with their pets.

 

Thotupola Kanda is the ideal location for a moderate but enjoyable trek in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands. It meanders through patchy woodland and mountainous areas, providing views of surrounding valleys and high altitudes. Unlike other Horton Plains areas, this one is more tranquil and peaceful, offering the perfect blend of nature and solitude. A fulfilling experience awaits nature lovers who choose to hike at Thotupola Kanda, regardless of the reasons behind their choice.
