Go to kandy take 633 Deltota or Hewaheta bus, if it is to Deltota, take another bus from ther to Hewaheta. all journey is approx 40km from Kandy. but it takes around 2-3 hrs due slow bus service... enjoy and dont destroy the environment.... guys dont let me to be frustrated of telin u the way to ther by destroying that.. :)
