  • 12 Days Trip to Wellassa & Digamadulla – Day 2 & 3

Day 1

Day 2
Next day morning we took bus to Katharagama from Buttala. Our idea was cover important places in Katharagama & Tissamaharama area. Around 9.00 a.m we came to Kataragama. First we went to Kiri Vehera. After that we went to Tissamaharama. From there we went to Kirinda Viharaya.Again came back to Tissamaharama & went to Debara Wewa. First we went to see the family we gave new house in last year. We spent some time with them & came back to Tissamaharama Viharaya after visiting 4 important places. After visiting Tissamaharama Viharaya & Sandagiriya Viharaya we came back to Katharagama town. From there we took 5.00 p.m bus to Buttala on “Raja Mawatha”. It was purely amazing “Safari Tour” & more than 6 times elephants blocked the road. It was great experience for us.The elephants block the road & asking food from vehicles. The bus driver however managed to escape from them without giving food. We met more than 10 elephants at the road.

We came to Buttala around 6.30 p.m & we completed our 2nd day of the tour with lots of new experiences.

Day 3
Around 7.30 a.m we went to see “Maligawila Budha Statue”. On that way we first went to “Dematamal Viharaya”. After that we went to Maligawila. After spent couple of hours there we came back to Buttala. Next we decided to visit the family we gave new house at Atimale. First we went to Monaragala & got the bus to Athimale. Around 3.30 p.m we came to Athimale & from there we took the three wheel to get there. They warmly welcomed us & we spent some time with them. We came back to Athmale to catch the last bus to Monaragala. Around 7.00 p.m we came to Buttala. We completed our 3rd day of the trip with lots of happy memories.
