Totapolakanda, Mountain summit in Nuwara Eliya District, Sri Lanka.
Totapolakanda rises to 2,357 meters above sea level, making it the third highest mountain within the boundaries of Horton Plains National Park.
The mountain holds connections to ancient Indian folklore, as legends narrate it served as the initial landing site for King Rama during his quest.
The name Totapolakanda derives from Sinhala language, translating to 'Landing Site' in reference to its mythological significance in regional narratives.
A two-kilometer marked trail beginning near the Pattipola entrance of Horton Plains National Park leads visitors through indigenous shrublands to the summit.
The mountain surface features specialized plant species like Strobilanthes, Osbeckia, and Rhodomyrtus that adapted to the high-altitude environmental conditions.
