Rose Quartz Mountain A Pink Gift From Mother Nature
If you are planning on visiting Naa forest in Sri Lanka you would surely not miss
the Rose Quartz Mountain situated about a half a miles walk from the forest. You can enjoy the walk along the thick Naa trees while on your trek up the hill. It indeed is a very calm and serene place with only trees and birds filling up the place. You would also find temple ruins on either sides of your pathway to the hill. The rose mountain is really pink in color at a distance when the sun shines bright on it. Once you reach the foot of the hill you would notice the lack of trees and an occurrence of a bare land. The colossal rock will amaze you as it appears through the Naa trees.
The next step would be to climb up the hill until you reach the peak where you would come across the best part of your journey. Keep in mind that whether it is rainy or sunny the rock can get slippery so its always wise to be cautious and keep away from danger. There is a possibility of getting cut from the sharp edges of rose quartz, so climbers have to be watchful as well. It is not a rough climb but could be a little hard for the ones not used to climbing steep heights and would do well if you take short rests while moving forward. Once you reach the top you would be gifted with one of the most spectacular and unforgettable sights of your life.
Even though it is not the tallest mountain in Sri Lanka the sight you get from the top beats all the sceneries from mountains. You will also see the Naa flowers at full blossom and giving pleasant shades throughout the area. Travelers visiting the Naa uyana can choose a splendid Sigiriya Hotel for your stay since its the major city close to the location. Sigiriya Village is one of the best Hotels in Sigiriya and recommended by most of the tourists visiting Sri Lanka. Do not forget to stop by the Rose Quartz Mountain on your way to Sigiriya.
