Trip to Hanthana Mountain


Top Of the Mountain

       If you ever visit to Sri Lanka, there is a place you won't forget. It is Hanthana Mountain Range. The maximum height of this mountain is about 3800ft. It is very popular destination among mountain hikers. This mountain range lies in the city of kandy.

After the Reach Top of the Mountain

     Me and my university colleagues decided to cross the Hanthana Mountain Range. Actually it is very wonderful experience! but also a very difficult! There are many Wasp Hives around this mountain range, hence we need to be more careful.
Climbing The Mountain

      The dangerous part of this mountain is there are many BLOODSUCKERS (called "Kudella" in Sinhala) everywhere. They will bit you and suck your blood until they get enough blood. Also it is hard to remove and kill them.

      All is good in this mountain range, if there are not any BLOODSUCKERS! We reached top of the mountain and also faced a terrible Thunderstorm last! but I think if you visit this mountain at least one time, it is good experience to your life.

      I grab some videos when we are climbing the mountain, so here is the short summary about TRIP TO HANTHANA.
