Hunnasgiriya, gateway to Knuckles Range

Hunnasgiriya can be called the gateway to Knuckles Range as it here where the trunk road to Meemure branches off the Kandy-Mahiyangana main road A26. A new Buddha statue overlooking the wide Mahaweli valley can be visited in Hunnasgiriya. Main attraction, however, is Mini World’s End 7 km further north. Hotel Priyangi Hills is situated near the main road, just 2 km east of the main junction. It is not to be confused with the Priyangihills Udadumbara, which is further 5 km further down the road to Mahiyangana. Several more accommodations are available in the area of Deanstan (Deanston), the Circuit Bungalow and a camping ground are close to Mini World’s End. Further north is the comfortable Shanthi Uyana in the village of Kobonilla, where several simple accommodations such as Corbett’s View and Knuckles Windy Holiday Bungalow are located, too.
