The road past the 18 hairpin bends towards Mahiyangana is still green in spite of the drought. This is due to the irrigation schemes functioning from ancient times and recently renovated.

Coming down from Madugoda to the 18 hairpin bends leading to Hasalaka is a superb sight. Far away in the valley you can see the 'Sorabora Wewa' which irrigates the paddy fields around Mahiyangana.
