Yahangala Mountain

This Yahangala looks like a bed. There are legends that King Rawana is sleeping in this bed.  Legend has it that King Rawana had imprisoned princess Sitha on this mountain. 
 Also, this mountain is considered as a place dedicated to God GaleBandara. 

 Yahangala "is a mountain that can be climbed in one day.   Also, if you book a two day to journey Velangolla patna, it will be a more enjoyable trip.  Velangolla Patna Yahangala can be seen in different places in different shapes of Patna. 

 

You need to know exactly what the wild elephants are about to decide about camping in the patna.   At the top of the fall, at the end of the event, you can see 3 waterfalls of 10 and 5 meters each. 

To reach Yahangala, after passing Kalugala from Udadumbara and coming near Udailuka village, there is a nameplate about Yahangala on the left side.  According to the nameplate, the distance is less than 3 km when going uphill.  But to cross Velangolla patna, you have to go to Medagama Place from the end of the tar road and go about 7 km through the Mana forest. 

Before reaching the area, it is best to ask a local resident about wild elephants poaching.

 However, according to the Forest Department, no trail has been installed to climb Yahangala.
