Running west of Kandy, the Alagalla Mountain Range stretches across Sri Lanka’s heartland. At its northern end stands Alagalla Mountain, a 3,740-foot (1,140-meter) peak known for its distinctive potato-shaped rock, which has earned it the nickname Potato Mountain. Hikers are drawn to the summit for the commanding panoramic views that stretch out in all directions. The rugged terrain and scenic trails offer a rewarding experience for those who venture up the mountain.
