Single Tree Hill, or One Tree Hill as it is also called, is the 9th tallest mountain of the country and stands at 2100m from sea level. However since it only rises 250 m above Nuwara Eliya city, it gives the appearance and feel of a hill. However the views from the top are unparalleled.

However, you will still have a qualified first aid officer and emergency transport vehicle accompanying you for safety purposes. You will be reaching the top quite quickly, at approximately 10:30am. You will be able to see many sights such as the mountains Piduruthalagala, Sri Pada and Hakgalla and many others depending on the weather of the day.
