Last year when we were at Wewala wewa we noted this lovely twin peak mountain which was also seen from the banks of Kandalama tank.

This July (post COVID19 era) we went to Girithale and on our Girithale visit we got a chance to explore Angammedilla park which is not a popular tourist destination.

Talapattekanda is another monadnock situated close to Madagalla of Kurunegala. Since it had been few months from our last hike we decided to give this 300m mountain a go.

In 2017 we hiked Handapan ella plains and we noted that there is a range of peaks on the other side of the plain. Later we got to know that this was called Beragala(the highest point of Handapan ella reserve) and locals from Ilumbekanda climbed it regularly.

Few days back to be specific on 21st of April 2019 disaster struck and the whole country was in distress, so to get away from all the hate, anger and grievance we decided to hike a small mountain.

When ever I have climbed up Yapahuwa I have noted an interesting rocky monadnock which was like a soldier keeping an eye on Yapahuwa fortress. Later I got to know that it was called Diyabete kanda.

Dothalugala is an known nature trail designated by Forest department but unfortunately it doesn’t extend up to the summit. We decided to give it a try to reach the summit and for that we decided to use the Dothalugala nature trail.

Once when we were loitering along Wariyapola -Kalugamuwa road we noted a rock close to Bamunukotuwa and we planned to hike it someday with our kid. So when my brother in-law visited us after many years we decided to take him on a small hike and Thimmagama gala was the ideal rock for that.

This journey for a change was an idea of Irantha. He persuaded us to join us in a venture to explore the unexplored and the eager to explore the unexplored was enough of a reason for us to join in.

Navanagala is a prominent peak of knuckles range and its identifiable from many destinations due to its unique shape. Protruding southwards from knuckles mountain belt this seems to be an ideal location for a surveyor and the carvings of the surveyors which were found on the summit justified it.

In 2014 when I hiked Gombaniya I did note this magnificent giant called Yakkunge hela and ever since that day I wanted to conquer it so It was pushed up the list on 2019 and It didnt fail my expectations.

First of all let me go to the past. It was in 2009 when Mithila suggested that lets start a trip report section on Lakdasun which was more of a Forum based web site and I was lucky enough to contribute the 2nd report to this archive which was my virgin hike to Sripada { Sri pada Off season and Mapalana (Mapanana) Falls(141m) }.
