How to get Riverston

    As we have understood that may of the travelers are not aware of how to get Riverston, we hope to let you all know the routes that you can get there. First if you come from Colombo, you have many routes. Lets discuss them.
    If you directly come to Riverston the easiest way is to come via Kandy and Matale. Click here [http://goo.gl/maps/kAdA] to get the direction from the Google. If you are driving a car which the ground clearance is much lower, this is the route that you will have to get because till Matale, you get A9 road which is good. To the camp site the distance from Colombo would be around 180Kms and usually to Matale you will be able to come within 4 hours of a drive where you may stop somewhere Kadugannawa [just before Kandy] for a break if you would like to.
  Also you can avoid Kandy Town where you will turn left from Peradeniya Junction and take the Katugasthota road to get Kandy - Matale route. You will get it from Katugasthota where it won't take much time to get Matale. However once passing Matale town, take the Raththota bus route to and it will be directing to Riverston.
But the shortest path to there is this [http://goo.gl/maps/1223] where you will get to Kurunegala and take the Matale route from there once passing Ibbagamuwa. Till Ibbagamuwa, Matale Junction the road is good but from there to Matale its somewhat "Not Good" type. However if you need to avoid traffic then better taking this route. Also you will get some climate changes on the way from Kurunegala to Matale too.
   Both these ways will drive you to Matale and then to Pitawala Camp Site. But If you are coming from the other way which you may be coming from Hasalaka or Wasgamuwa or even Dambulla. Then you will have to come to Pallegama and then take the Illukkumbura route towards Pitawala.If you come from Hasalaka, or Mahiyangana you will have to pass Hettipola and take the road to Pallegama and then to Camp Site. To coming from Wasgamuwa National Park Clike Here [http://goo.gl/maps/qlWc]. This also explains that the way you can visit Wasgamuwa National Park from camp site. Its not far where we arrange the tours as you would like.
  When you travel via Matale, by passing the summit of Riverston, be careful because there can be a thick mist on the way.

We hope this would help you to decide how to get there and we will continue posting the information that we think is important for you to travel around Riverston, Knuckles range. Happy tours.
