Mathalagala, also known as Dewalagala Plains, is a crest of a hill in an elecation of 894 m (2933 feet) aboce sea level. The crest is a grass plains covering almost 15 hectares. These are so-called Patana Plains, which occur at several places in Sri Lanka's central highlands and seem to be of natural origin. Villagers of the surroundings sometimes use the grassland of Mathalagala for keeping their cattle. This is one reason that you should not go there without a local guide. The other reason is that it is not easy to find the correct path alone. Nonetheless, Mathalagala is sometimes used as a camping site by Sri Lankan trekkers.
the easiest hike to the plains of Mathalagala is from Narangamuwa at the northern side of Knuckles Range. From the Narangamuwa temple or Knuckles Reach Nature Villa, this hike takes only 1.5 hours uphill, minimum 1 hour for normal hikers, though the trail is only 3 km (2 miles) long. The difference in altitude between Narangamuwa village and Mathalagala plains is about 400 m (1300 feet). A second option to hike to Mathalagala is starting in Meemure, which is much better known among travelers than Narangamuwa. However, the trail from Meemure is even more difficult to find and noticeably more strenuous. The trail is 5 km (3 miles) long and has to overcome a height difference of more than 500 m (1600 feet). Normal hikers should calculate 2.5 hours for the climb or 5 hours for the entire Mathalagala excursion.
