Galtalawa where King Dutugemunu told secrets to Suranimala 🌿🌳🧗🏻‍♀️🌿
Today we are going to talk about Peacock Hill or Monaragala...
To this mountain
It is said that it got the name Monaragala because it is seen in the shape of a peacock.
Looking at the mountain from a distance, it is difficult to imagine such a shape.

At the top of the mountain there is a rock part protruding from the main ridge. That part looks like the head and neck of a peacock at the top of the mountain.
If you want to go there, you have to go further along the rock and go down a little.
That is the most beautiful place on top of the hill. But from there there is a slope on three sides.
There is not much space. It is best to be careful.
It is said in history that Prince Dutugemunu came from Magama and farmed for many years in Kothmale area.
It is said that the prince was in the village called Kotagepitiya at the foot of this mountain. Legend has it that Suranimala, who brought information to Prince Gemunu, negotiated with the giant from a rock on Mount Monaragala.
Peacock Hill, the peak of 151 meters above sea level, is a mountain with a beautiful surroundings.
Peacock Mountain can be easily accessed by using the roads through Doragala villages after passing Ulapane and Kothmale Dam.
Peacock Hill is one of the most scenic spots in Kothmale which is located in Gampola town, Pusselwa town,
Ambulawawa, Dolosbage mountain range, Nawalapitiya city, Nuwara-Eliyahi can be absorbed.
Offering an extraordinary view of the many surrounding mountains and towns...
Piduruthalagala Range, Kotmale Reservoir and surrounding villages of Kotmale are well visible...
The footpath extends to the top of the mountain through a large pine forest on the right hand side of the road...
There is no straight climb. So climbing is easy.
At the end of the cliff was a steep cliff. This boulder is like a platform. Ambuluawa among the hills that can be seen in the distance,
Dolosbage mountain range including Kabaragala, Pidurutalagala and Kikilimana mountains on the other side is a very beautiful sight.
Meanwhile, you can see many other big and small mountain ranges and peaks. The scenery of Ramboda, Puna Oya and Garadi Waha waterfalls flowing from the mountains is also extremely beautiful. And the Kothmale reservoir can be seen on the cliff on one side.
The valley of Kotmala Oya also looks very beautiful. Also, Nuwara Eliya Road can be seen from the other side, which stretches between the mountain slopes.
