Gal Bungalow, Laggala (Knuckles Mountains)

Gal Bungalow, Laggala (Knuckles Mountains)

This is a beautiful old stone built colonial bungalow set way off the beaten track deep in the heart of the fantastic Knuckles Mountains. It’s a 2hr drive from Kandy –and there is very little other accommodation to be had in the area. It is far more basic but it’s the scenery that is the star here – take in the astonishingly beautiful scenery from the verandah and do several of the walks to explore this area where very few tourists go.
