Travelling a distance of 180 Km from Colombo you reach the Passara town
and from there get on to the Pitamaruwa Road, and reach Madulsima.

place tea boxes being transported were exchanged from one set of caravans
to another.
The Madulsima worldsend is located at the end of the lush tea Plantation
Roeberry Estate.
When you reach you will see a range of mountains dotted with small, dry
forests. The salient feature of Madulsima Worldsend is,that the visitor can
view a vast plain starting at the bottom of the mountain and ending towards
the East coast.But at Horton Plains visitors are able to see a range of mountains
and rock debris from a precipice.It is managed by the Tourist Board of the
Uva Province.
The elevation of the Madulsima mountain is 1257 feet and is 2300-3400 above
sea level.
The highest part of the rock belongs to Roeberry estate and the lower part
to the Dorapoda in Bibile district. The range of mountains are always covered
in mist and has salubrious climate at all times.A panoramic view of water
falls such as Umang Oya, Bambarabotuwa and Kekunagala can be seen.
When you reach the top of the hill it is possible to see, other ranges
of rocks such as Dehigala and Doraboda covered in with the thin forests.
