Pidurutalagala

Pidurutalagala is the island country's lone ultra-prominent summit. This is also one of just 1,515 super conspicuous peaks in the planet. This mountain has a forest reserve in the surrounding area that was severely damaged by a forest fire five years ago. More than three acres of forest land had been lost as a result of the fire. However, with the passage of time and the support of the Sri Lankan people, much of the damage has been restored and is continuing to improve every day. The communications array of the Sri Lankan government and armed forces is based on the mountain summit of Pidurutalagala.

Due to the secrecy of the activities in the area, it is designated as an ultra-high-security zone. In contrast to the lush green surroundings, which include forests with a vast diversity of rare and indigenous plant and animal species, these are Sri Lanka's best mountains. A perfect vista can be seen from the mountain summit, which offers a view of Sri Lanka's gorgeous country.
