点评:Probably the easiest climb up a mountain ever!
Piduruthalagala is the highest mountain in Sri Lanka and you can go all the way up in a vehicle! It's only 6 kms (will take you around 10 mts) from the entry point and the road is in very good conditon. (They allow any vehicle except for large buses).
The views at the top are absolutely stunning!!!! You get a 360 degree view and you can basically see all other mountain ranges in the country. We were told that on clear nights, you can even see the Colombo Port!
We were told that the views would depend on the weather. We had a very clear view on the day we went. But we were also told to get there before 10 am for better views.
Google maps to the entry point is accurate. First there is a check point of Wildlife Dept where you have to buy LKR 75 per person ticket (not sure if a different price is charged from foreigners).
Second is an army check point where you have to write down your names, NIC etc. They were very friendly, told us not to get down at any point on the way up and also gave their number in case we needed any assistance on the way up.
Once you go up, there is quite a large car park. You can park their and walk a up a bit to get to the point which is marked as the highest point in the mountain. There are places where you will not be allowed to go (it is a high security zone) and there were also notices saying not to take any pics at the top.
There is a small Cafe and I think there were washrooms. We went on a working day (but it was a sandwich day between a weekend and a public holiday.) And the car park had 10- 15 vehicles by the time we left around 11 am. The road up isn't that narrow, but it would be advisable to avoid holidays, weekends and to go as early as possible to avoid traffic jams. (I assume they would open the gates around 8 am).
翻译:这可能是有史以来最容易的登山经历!
皮杜鲁塔拉嘎拉是斯里兰卡最高的山,您可以驾车一路上山!距离入口只有 6 公里(大约需要 10 米),而且道路状况非常好。(除了大型巴士,他们允许任何车辆上山)。
山顶的景色绝对令人惊叹!!!!您可以 360 度俯瞰,基本上可以看到该国所有其他山脉。我们被告知,在晴朗的夜晚,您甚至可以看到科伦坡港!
我们被告知,景色取决于天气。我们去的那天,视野非常清晰。但我们也被告知要在上午 10 点之前到达那里,才能看到更好的景色。
到入口的谷歌地图很准确。首先是野生动物部门的检查站,您必须在那里购买每人 75 斯里兰卡卢比的票(不确定外国人是否收取不同的价格)。
第二个是军事检查站,你必须写下你的名字、NIC 等。他们非常友好,告诉我们上山途中不要下山,还给了我们他们的电话号码,以防我们在途中需要任何帮助。
上山后,有一个相当大的停车场。你可以把车停在那里,然后往上走一点,到达山顶最高点。有些地方不允许你去(这是一个高度安全的区域),也有告示说不要在山顶拍照。
那里有一个小咖啡馆,我想那里有洗手间。我们是工作日去的(但那是周末和公共假期之间的夹层日)。当我们上午 11 点左右离开时,停车场里有 10-15 辆车。上山的路不是很窄,但建议避开假期和周末,尽早出发,以免堵车。(我猜他们会在早上 8 点左右开门)。
