From here, the path becomes steeper; continue on the well-marked trail which will lead you directly to the summit where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Bicycle

If you prefer cycling, rent a bicycle from a local shop in Nuwara Eliya. Start from the city center and ride along the Main Street (A5 Road) heading east. After about 1 kilometer, turn left onto the road leading up towards the hills. Continue cycling for approximately 500 meters. As the road becomes steeper, if you find it too challenging to cycle, it is advisable to park your bike and continue on foot. Follow the marked trail to reach Single Tree Hill.
