Descripción
Daha Ata Wanguwa, also known as 18 Bends Road, is a famous asphalted drive found in the Central Province, a convenient mountainous region of Sri Lanka, joining Kandy to Mahiyanganaya. The route has a length of 41km, including 17 hairpin curves.
. It's also known as 18 hairpin bend road, and several drivers feared it as one of the challenging roads in the country. Though it is renowned as the 18 bend road, people come across only 17 bends in reality as one curve was eliminated long ago after stretching that section of the road.
The surface of the road is asphalt. Therefore, novice motorists should not attempt this stretch of road. In addition, the 41 KM distant road has been increased to 15 metres and carpeted from Udathenna to Mahiyanganaya. This road was an engaging drive among the local and foreign travellers. However, it was an infrequent experience to pass this terrain during their journeys to Mahiyangana or the Eastern part of the island.
