Let's spend a wonderful night at Wewatenna Camping Site


There are many places in Sri Lanka where camping can be done. One of the most famous of these is the Wewatenna Campground. This place is located very close to Medamahanuwara town in Kandy district. This land is about 850 meters above sea level and was reserved for tea cultivation at that time. The tea plantations in the area were later destroyed and more recently opened to tourism.The camp we are talking about today is located on the southern slope of the Knuckles Mountains. Next you need to reach Medamahanuwara town on the A26 road from Kandy to Mahiyanganaya v
ia Tennekumbura. Here you can find food and other necessities for camping in Medamahanuwara. If you are coming to Medamahanuwara by bus, you can take the Mahiyanganaya bus or Udadumbara bus from Kandy. After a short distance you will come across a junction where one road goes towards Bomure and the other towards Rajagala. You have to take the Rajagala road to go to the tank. This can be easily found on Google Maps and if it is difficult to find the route, ask the locals for directions. After 5-6 km on the Rajagala Road, you will pass the Woodside Old Tea Factory and reach the destination, the tank. So do not come here expecting to bathe. From here, you can see part of Victoria Reservoir, as well as the city of Hunnasgiriya and the surrounding mountains, the Walapane area and the surrounding mountains. The view of the sunset in the evening is a beautiful one. It's great to photograph the area. Here you can find a wonderful inspiration for camping at night. There are many places that have been told to build camps. Also up to 200-300 people can camp at once. The lake is often foggy in the morning. That morning was a wonderful day, too. On your way to the end of the tank tour you can also visit the Victoria Dam. If you go to Hunnasgiriya, there are many other places of interest.
