When I stepped foot in Chilaw few years ago I wanted to do a complete rail hike along Puttalam rail line and my main intentions were to complete the stretch along Puttalam district.

In 2014 I did visit few sites around Awissawella and I wanted to visit those places which I couldnt.

It had been 3 years  since I left Monaragala so I wanted to pay a visit to refresh my memories. On our way we decided to visit an unknown mini Worlds end close to Haputhale.

Anamaduwa is 1 hour way from my residence and it has been a routine area of interest for me. Though I had visited Paramakanda and few other places in the region I did want to expand the list of attractions.

I had already walked from Naththandiya to Puttalam along the railways and I wanted to extend the hike northwards till the last passenger station which was Periyanaga villu.

There is an interesting mountain range close to Miyallewa and Nawagaththegama which harbors few archaeological sites. We were focused on the highest point of the range and the historical Pichchandiyawa traditional medicine school was at its base.

It was a gloomy period and we wanted to go somewhere so we decided to head towards the dry zone. The mountain we wanted to climb was never seen before and was a totally new experience to us.

It was the last day of 2017 and we wanted to go somewhere. The dry zone mountains around Dambulla were in our priority list so we headed towards Dambulla and planned to hike Yakkuragala with the aid of maps.

A Gloomy period but I wanted to get away and Keshan also wanted to go somewhere. I suggested a rocky mountain which is clearly seen to the A10 road close to Weuda which I have noted on many instances. Though we could have climbedup from Waraddana side we thought of climbing up from an easier side.

Last May when we did Duwili ella trail from Etanwala we met few of our friends who decided to get down from Ranamure side and they sent me the Kmz for my future references.

NWP has been giving us ample opportunities to experience the beauty of the dry zone and few giants were providing the foundation for our dreams.

Waduwawa was one of my friends home village. Ever since I had heard about the lovely area from him I always wanted to pay a visit. Early morning after finishing a quick hike to Yogamu kanda we started to explore along the Polgahawela – Narammala road which ran through Waduwawa.
