Gonmollikanda, Mountain summit in Ratnapura district, Sri Lanka.

Gonmollikanda is a mountain summit in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, rising to about 2000 meters and covered with dense forest from base to peak. The steep slopes make the climb physically demanding and require careful footing throughout the ascent.

Gonmollikanda takes its name from the Sinhala word for the hump of a bull, a reference to the shape of its 2,034 m peak. The summit stands close to Balathoduwa, another named peak; on clear days without heavy mist both can be seen from World's End in Horton Plains National Park. Sri Lanka's highest waterfall, Bambarakanda Falls, lies nearby.

The name comes from Sinhala: gommolliya means "hump of the bull", because the peak is shaped like a bull's hump. The nearby peak Balathoduwa can be seen with Gonmollikanda from World's End in Horton Plains National Park on clear days without heavy mist.

Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are essential since temperatures drop significantly at higher elevations. The climb takes several hours and demands good physical fitness and proper preparation.

The peak's Sinhala name means 'hump of the bull', from its profile. On clear days without heavy mist, Gonmollikanda and the nearby peak Balathoduwa can both be seen from World's End in Horton Plains National Park. Sri Lanka's highest waterfall, Bambarakanda Falls, lies close by.
