Balangoda Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 It is an ideal place to have a rest in the narrow winding road from Balangoda to Bogawanthalawa. Provides a panoramic view of Samanalawewa Reservoir as well as Balangoda area. Has space to stop around 5-10 vehicles alongside the road. A summer hut is also available.

😐 We saw it from the starting point near the road, yeah it's good stoping point for a long road trip but going thereon it's own is not that worth it

Hawagala Top View Point
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The view from on top is just amazing. It’s pretty shocking that it’s flat on top of the mountain. The climb is around approximately 4km. The vibe is super cozy and cool. Camping there was such an amazing experience. If you are a hiker definitely the first place to hike.
