The following list comprises mountains that have been thoroughly explored, with their altitudes measured by expert hikers in Sri Lanka.
These major forest reserves contain numerous mountains that can be distinctly identified as separate summits within their respective clusters.
Horton Plains National Park, on the other hand, has four major mountains with identifiable separate peaks, each offering moderate hikes requiring an ascent of approximately 200–300 meters from the main road.
The dense forest and unpredictable weather conditions contribute to the extreme difficulty and potential danger of these hikes.
Hikers are advised to obtain necessary permissions from the Department of Wildlife Conservation (Sri Lanka) before embarking on their hikes.
