Opalgala Transmission Station
About
Opalgala Transmission Station in Sri Lanka sits along the Opalgala Ella Trekking Path, a route that climbs through the hill country. A 4.5 out of 5 average across 62 reviews reflects a following among walkers who make the trip.
The station operates as a viewpoint, and the path leading to it forms part of the appeal for anyone who enjoys a climb. Kandy and Colombo are the nearest of the island's main centres, while Galle, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay lie further along the coast. First-time visitors should expect a walk-in approach rather than a roadside stop, with the reward coming at the top.
