Pidurutalagala

Pidurutalagala
Pidurutalagala (or Mount Pedro) is the tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. Situated to the north of Nuwara Eliya town, the mountain rises to an altitude of 2524 meters above sea level (Abeyawardana, 2004; Werner, 1986).

The main TV transmitter of the country has been installed at the peak of Pidurutalagala and because of that, the upper part of the mountain is prohibited to the public (Abeyawardana, 2004).
