Kadugannawa Rock View and Rest Area

We arrived by coincidence at the right time to enjoy the sunset. Great experience. Be careful with the monkeys.

Never stopped admiring this location. No body will hate this place for sure

A great place to rest when travel. Plenty of parking space is available on the roadside. Be careful when walking near the edge. A very beautiful scenery can be seen here. A few shops (corn, sweets, fruits, souvenirs, etc.) are available on other side of the road.

Best place for taking a break while traveling to kandy from colombo. Peaceful place. Amazing views. Parking available. Some small shops are there. Can see wild animals like monkeys. A definite and worthy stop on the way to and from Kandy to Colombo.

The best place to take break while travelling, You can also see the beautiful scenery while eating the meal. However, never go beyond the fence and be careful when taking photos. Enjoy ❤

Kadugannawa is a town in the Kandy district of the Central Province of Sri Lanka and has a salubrious mountain terrain with fresh air and tranquil surrounding.

The rock view point and rest area is located on the A1 Colombo-Kandy Road as it passes Kadugannawa.

There are scores of wayside boutiques and restaurants offering food and drink as well as seasonal fruits and veggies. Juggery and other local sweet meats on offer are very popular. Vendors selling locally made handicrafts and trinquets are a common sight.

So beautiful. My family visits Sri Lanka every 3-4 years to see our relatives so this is always a sight to see when we travel between Mawanella and Daulagala. It's so breathtaking and relaxing. The food vendors make great staple street food eg. roti, sambal, coconut juice, etc. Definitely pull over and take a breath of fresh air when you travel on this highway!

To watch the beauty of the Sri Lanka as first instance, this place is very nice. very careful on the traffic of the road because too many vehicles are crossing this area regularly, because this place is lying along with main road.

Kadugannawa Rock View and Rest Area is awesome scenic place to have some quick rest while travelling to or from Kandy through A1 road. There is some space dedicated to vehicle parking alongside the road and this space might be full sometimes. Several rocks including Alagalla, Bathalegala, Devanagala and Ambuluwawa as well can be seen from this point. There are some monkeys also and be careful when feeding or staying in this place.
