The experience
Make the most of your visit
- Views over the Knuckles mountain landscape
- A ridge setting distinct from Pitawala’s grassland
Before you go
- Confirm current road restrictions, the open pedestrian approach and ticket or guide requirements locally. February 2026 reporting described reopening with light-vehicle limits; it does not verify today’s access.
- Do not assume taxi access to the ridge or entry to broadcasting facilities. Stay in permitted visitor areas and follow wind, mist and closure advice; Pitawala Pathana is a separate stop.
