Kallebokka
3600
viewpoint
(height:
1,175m)
became
a
trending
destination
after
it
was
promoted
by
a
certain
TV
programme.
The
summit
is
located
right
on
the
border
of
Matale
and
Kandy
districts
and
shares
the
same
ridge
that
forms
Hathale
min-worlds
end
and
Hunnasgiriya
mountain.
The
said
ridge
extends
to
the
north
and
joins
with
western
massif
of
Knuckles.
On
a
clear
day,
visitors
can
observe
Central
Highlands,
Kandy
City,
Sembuwatte
lake
and
Knuckles
Mountains.
A
Camping
site
and
02
estate
bungalows
are
available
for
visitors
to
stay
but
need
to
be
booked
early.
There
is
a
half-finished
Hindu
shrine
at
the
center
of
the
flat
summit
and
a
hut
made
using
sticks
to
enjoy
the
vistas.
It’s
better
to
visit
in
the
mornings
to
enjoy
the
unobstructed
views
for
mist
tend
to
cover
the
area
in
the
afternoons.
The
road
to
the
top
is
dilapidated
and
narrow.
A
4wd
vehicles
would
be
ideal
but
Bikes
and
Three
wheelers
can
also
make
the
journey
with
some
effort.
Cars
are
not
recommended
and
you
can
hire
a
tuk-tuk
from
this
point
for
about
Rs
1,000
–
1,500
for
the
roundtrip.
It’s
an
easy
1-2
hr
hike
(Elevation
gain:
~300m)
by
foot
so
unless
you’re
with
children
or
elderly,
It
is
a
highly
recommended
experience.
Follow
along
the
road
about
2km
and
you’ll
arrive
into
a
small
village
where
Kellebokke
upper
division
estate
workers
reside.
At
the
entrance,
someone
will
come
forward
and
issue
your
tickets.
Tickets
are
priced
at
Rs
100/=
per
person.
It
is
high
time,
however,
they
implement
a
proper
ticketing
operation
since
the
current
process
looks
a
bit
shady.
Once
at
the
top
enjoy
the
panoramic
views
and
try
to
identify
the
giants
surrounding
the
area.
There’s
a
nearby
peak
you
can
hike
up
as
well
for
better
views.
The
top
can
be
windy,
chilly
and
heavily
foggy
so
be
prepared
for
such
conditions.
By
the
way,
there
are
no
restaurants
at
the
premises
so
bring
your
own
food.
Make
sure,
however,
to
not
leave
any
litter
behind.
