Namunukula: Hiking the Nine Peaks
Moderate · 3-4 hours · Badulla District · Uva Province
Namunukula means "nine peaks", and its highest summit reaches 2,036 m, making it the tallest mountain in Uva outside the central massif. It stands so clear of the land around it that Zheng He's fleet used it as a landmark in the fifteenth century: the first sight of Sri Lanka on the voyage from Sumatra.
