Kukulagala mountain is situated near Rikillagaskada and it also is known as Diyatalawa mountain in Metric Map. We have noticed this mountain on the way to our Loolkandura. After a few months, we planned this hike and it was much easy for us since one of our friend is living at Nuwaraeliya.
We came from Moratuwa to Rikillagaskada around 7 am and wait for Madusanka. After he came he took the lead to the footpath of this mountain. Hence we were able to come to a place where we can keep our bikes too. We start this hike as much as earlier in the morning and was able to achieve the summit within a few hours.
