Pettigala
is
a
beautiful
hill
close
to
Victoria
reservoir.
This
hill
is
also
known
as
Bambaragala
kanda.
However,
it
is
famous
as
Pettigala
because
of
its
shape.
If
you
are
planning
to
visit
here
you
should
search
Bambaragala
kanda
ancient
temple,
instant
pettigala
.
Because
the
path
starts
through
the
temple
premises.
This
place
is
located
close
to
Nuwara-Mahiyanganaya
road.
Take
off
from
digana
junction
and
continue
on
Victoria
golf
club
road
at
least
4.7km.
Reaching
the
Bambaragala
Temple
premises
is
easy.
You
can
reach
there
via
any
kind
of
vehicle
and
able
to
park
at
temple
premises.
(Bike,
Car,
Van,
and
even
Bus).
You
have
to
inform
the
temple
authority
before
entering
the
Pettigala
hill
as
per
safety
precaution.
It's
hard
to
say
that
this
is
easy
hiking.
Because
you
have
to
find
the
path
in
the
jungle
and
you
have
to
climb
with
a
help
of
a
rope
at
two
locations.
(A
rope
is
placed
already)
and
of
course,
it's
hard
to
say
there
are
suitable
spacing
for
camping.
This
hike
is
good
for
one-day
adventure
hiking.
But
remember
to
carry
all
necessary
items
such
as
enough
water
and
food
because
there
is
no
place
to
refill
your
water
bottle.
The
View
at
the
top
is
so
attractive.
You
can
see
many
of
the
mountain
range
and
of
course
the
Victoria
reservoir
too.
Pettigala
is
placed
middle
of
Victoria
reservoir
and
many
mountain
ranges.
It
is
sad
to
say
Pettigala
is
been
destroyed
by
our
actions.
There
are
too
many
Polyethene,
Beer
Cans,
Arrack
bottles
are
left
on
the
hill.
We
didn't
prepare
for
a
sramadana
campaign
but
we
manage
to
bring
the
trach
which
is
lest
at
the
top
as
we
can.
So,
I
kindly
request
if
you
are
planning
to
go
there,
please
donβt
drop
anything
you
brought.
