We decided to build new house for another poor family. We get details about few poor families & we choose one family for our donation. First I went to see that family to get details of them. On September 16th morning I went there. I took train up to Kurunegala & from there by bus.

I did not have a desire to do a rail hike along Puttlam line though it is very close to my home but, I tempted to do it by seeing the photos of Ashan’s rail hike from Chilaw to Puttlam.

Sudugala and Wawegama are the attracts located between Nawalapitiya and Galboda. We can visit these places within a short time period. Sudugala is the popular waterfall and a Wawegama is a lake with beautiful surroundings. During my trip to Wewelthalawa I saw a Welcome board at Ulapane which tempted me to do this trip.

Rathna Ella is a beautiful waterfall located at Haslaka. The Waterfall can be reached easily from Hasalaka. Hasalaka to Rathna Ella Wasama and from there 2-3 Km walk to reach the falls. This is the popular route to the falls. But, we tried a different route which we started from Popitiya (18 Bends Viewing Area).

It has been a long pause from my last report but finally I found some time to do this write-up. Since lately I have found a special interest in Dambulla area and there was a long range which was at the eastern boarder of Dambulla which caught my sight when I did a hike to Arangala.

On 26th June I had an office work at Kandy. I took “Podi Menike” train from Fort at 6.00 a.m. As usual it packed with people. Around 8.45 a.m it reached to Kandy.

After passing about one year from my 1st beach walk I thought of doing another because, I wanted to have a change and diversify my traveling portfolio. Even though, the total length around our Country along the beach is about 1600+ km it was bit difficult to select a definite stretch but, finally decided to walk 10km from Godawaya to Kalametiya along Southern coastal border.

This is actually a three day tour and it had a hike to Manigala in the day in middle. On day one, we (three males and two females) got onto a bus at about 11.30 a.m from Kandy to reach Dambulla. We reached Dambulla in about two hours time and had the lunch there. Then we took a Mahiyanganaya via Kalu ganga bus to reach Kalu ganga where we had a generous host.

Aliyakotagala (1126m) mountain is situated closer to Ududumbara town. It is a good view point for mountains in Knuckles range.
