Pussellawa: Peacock Hill and panoramic views

Peacock Hill Mountain is a prominent landmark for Pussellawa: the mountain near the town is a hiking destination and offers views over several places and types of landscape. Its height of 1,513 metres and the 200 metres it rises above Pussellawa give you two specific figures to put the mountain into context. Here, choosing a destination brings together activity and panoramic views from a named mountain.

Height of Peacock Hill

Peacock Hill Mountain is 1,513 metres high and rises 200 metres above the town of Pussellawa. These figures use different measures: the first gives the mountain’s height, while the second gives its elevation relative to the town. They are therefore not interchangeable, but complement each other. Together, they convey both the mountain’s height and its relation to Pussellawa. To put the landscape into context, you can read the stated height and the rise above the town as two separate points of reference.

Panoramic views with a variety of features

From Peacock Hill Mountain, the view extends over Ambuluwawa, the town of Nuwara Eliya, the Pidurutalagala Range, Kotmale Reservoir and Bible Rock. The panorama also includes the town of Gampola, the Dolosbage Range and the town of Nawalapitiya. The range of sights brings together three towns, two mountain ranges, a reservoir, Bible Rock and Ambuluwawa. This helps you choose what interests you about the viewpoint: the place names form one group, the mountain ranges another, while Kotmale Reservoir and Bible Rock represent other clearly named landscape features. This way, the view is not limited to a single mountain feature. You can focus on whether you are most interested in the towns, the ridges or the other features mentioned.

Hiking and trip planning

When planning your trip, you can give the hike and the views different weight according to your personal interests. If you mainly enjoy getting around on foot, Peacock Hill is the main hiking destination; if you are more interested in the landscape, you can take in the named features of the panorama. Check local conditions before setting out on the hike. This connects your choice of destination with a practical step for your outing. Both interests centre on the same mountain, but offer different ways to shape your stay in Pussellawa.

Find hotels in Pussellawa

If you are looking for a hotel in Pussellawa, you can use Peacock Hill as a specific point of reference when choosing where to stay.
