Kirigalpotta

Kirigalpotta is the 2nd tallest mountain in Sri Lanka at 2388 m above mean sea level, and is also the highest mountain in the country whose summit is accessible to the general public (the highest point, Pidurutalagala, is occupied by a military base and off-limits to the public). The peak is situated near the city of Nuwara Eliya, within the Nuwara Eliya District. Only one 7 km hiking trail provides access to the mountain's summit via the Horton Plains National Park, although the trail is not very popular.
