Badulla City
Badulla: Scenic town in Sri Lanka's hill country, surrounded by lush tea plantations and offering picturesque landscapes, waterfalls, and cultural sites.
纳穆努库拉
然而库拉(Namunukula)是位于斯里兰卡东南部高地乌瓦省首府 巴杜拉 附近的一条山脉。海拔2,035米,是该国12座最高山峰之一,也是从西部的西里帕达 (亚当峰) 延伸至东部然而库拉的南部山脉东段的最高峰。该山俯瞰斯普林谷和帕萨拉地区,这些地区以茶园闻名,并构成著名乌瓦茶产区的重要组成部分,该产区从 霍顿平原 延伸约40公里。
通往然而库拉高原有多条路径,其中最容易的一条始于斯普林谷与帕萨拉之间的山口附近。由于该区域只有一条主要道路,因此很容易找到该山口。只需沿着穿过斯普林谷的B97公路前往 德莫达拉,在村中心的商店处左转,然后沿着支路一直行进到接近山顶。在距离山口约300米处,可以看到左侧分叉的一条徒步路线。攀登无需专业技术,但由于坡度较陡,对体力要求较高。
该森林地区是猕猴、桑巴鹿和野猪的栖息地。斯里兰卡高地森林中也生活着豹类,但很少被看到。在直径约150米的山顶高原上,可以看到供奉佛陀、毗湿奴和象头神的小型神庙。在斯里兰卡,毗湿奴主要由僧伽罗佛教徒崇拜,而象头神则更多与泰米尔文化相关。与亚当峰类似,人们相信这里也有一位名为因达卡的山神守护着这片区域。
“然而库拉”在僧伽罗语中意为“九座山峰”,指的是整个山脉,而不仅仅是最高峰。该山脉南北延伸约13公里,覆盖从巴杜拉到周边山口的区域。南坡上也有一个同名村庄,这进一步增添了该地区作为斯里兰卡高地风景优美且具有文化意义的山区的独特魅力。
