  On your journey from Colombo to Kandy along the A1 highway, a peculiar mountain can be seen towards your left hand side in between the townships of Kegalle and Mawanella. However, the fact that this is the hideout of Soora Saradiel, the man notoriously referred to as the "Robin Hood of Ceylon" is known to few. Soora Saradiel was a famous highwayman who was a menace to the British colonials in mid 19th century. Saradiel earned a reputation of robbing from the British elites and their henchmen as well as robbing the postal carriages. Since he distributed the loot among the peasants of the region he came to be known as the "Robin Hood of Ceylon". Perched at the threshold of Sri Lanka's hill country, ascending this mountain can be a tricky task. The foot of the mountain hosts a rubber plantation. However, as you move up the cliff, you'll gradually walk into a jungle. The peak of the mountain has an open area, towards a side of this open area lies a steep and towering apex. It's recorded that the caves which Saradiel and his clan of bandits used as hideouts are scattered across the mountain. The Saradiel Rock can be ascended in about 1 hour. The peak of the rock offers an enchanting vantage point of the surrounding environs covering the Mawanella town and the villages surrounding it. The cold breeze at the top of the mountain is bound refresh you after the tiresome climb. However, do keep in mind that you might have to endure a few leech bites during your hike. Uthuwankanda is easily accessible due to its close proximity to the A1 highway connecting Colombo to Kandy. When travelling from Colombo, one must pass Kegalle and Molagoda before you find a narrow road towards your left named the "Uthuwana Road". Travel approximately 1km on that road until you reach a fork, where you should take the road to your left (up a hill). Here you'll have to park your vehicles and commence your hike on foot.  When travelling from Kandy, one must pass the Mawanella town and travel approximately 2km. Just after passing the Uthuwankanda junction, you may find the Uthuwana Road to your right.

  Saradiel Village is located close to the predominant Moorish city in Sabaragamuwa called Mawanella. Named after a native who fiercely fought against the ruthless British colonialism, Saradiel Village reminds you of the spirit of anti-colonialism prevailed in these parts of the world. Commonly considered ‘Sri Lankan Robin Hood’ Saradiel is historically known as Uthuwan Kande Soorya Saradiel for his countless engagements with the British. Though later captured by British police after many escapes, his glory lives to date. The theme park offers the best scenic view about the surrounding from one of the highest elevations in this city. You do not just learn about the life of saradiel also about the type of living in 1400 and the History of Sri Lanka. Also the surrounding is wonderful! It is even possible to walk up the castle Rock next to it (45 minutes) to get a nice impression and view.
