In this report I will only discuss about said lake and the observation point. Other places we visited are too generic (Sri Dalada Maligawa & Bahirawa Kanda).
Mutukelina Wewa (lake) is situated in Pathahewaheta, Kandy (near Bellwood). It is really an amazing place. It is situated about 17km away (up to the hills) from Kandy city. It was not a planned destination. Due to some circumstances couldn’t find any accommodation nearby the city. Our accommodation (home stay) was in Moragolla. This place is nearby Moragolla. The owner of the house gave us the hint of this place and our hired driver took us to tha place.
Mutukelina is situated on top of a mountain (I don’t know an exact name of the mountain). It is a very small lake. And it is not so much attractive.
 Mutukelina Wewa (Water level is dropped somewhat) |
Our driver said that the lake is more beautiful when it is full.
There is a grassy summit at the lake. That is most important and most beautiful thing there.
 Yeah, that’s where we are going |
 Travelers |
When you get to the top you will be amazed by the view. It is really beautiful.

 The view I liked the most |
A large area is visible from there. You can even see the Victoria Reservoir from there. See the below two images

 View of the lake from the summit. It is much more beautiful, right? |

You can come to Moragolla and ask anyone how to go to the Mutukelina Wewa. But consider the things I mentioned about transportation above. The path is hard, but the effort is worth it.
