Visit Manelwatte Temple

Manelwatta Temple is a Buddist Temple constructed in Gampaha District, very close to ancient Kelaniya Viharaya. Temple is situated in a 16ha land with a calm and quiet environment amidst it’s close proximity to Colombo. Since most patronages to the Temple being from East Asian countries it looks like a Mahayana Temple from an East Asian Country. This location is very famous for photoshoots due to its iconic architecture. The environment maintained with its lakes and well-kept lawns is very refreshing and is an ideal location to relax in Colombo. I and my wife went to this temple in 2013 to see the nature and the environment over there.

Archaeological visit around Galewela

Galewela is an intermediate town situated at Kurunegala-Dambulla road. There are a lot of archaeological places around Galewela and this is a pinch of it.

Scenic Drive at Southern Province

We had a relaxing drive to the southern province as we received an invitation from our friend to visit his village as well as we need to have a drive to Matara via the Southern Expressway. Since my other members didn’t see Andahelena Fall I marked it at the first thing on our trip. I visited Andahelena Falls in May, 2013 while on a Funeral of an office mate’s cousin. However, we were able to visit Madol Duwa, Martin Wickremasinghe House, and the Museum and finally stopped at Dondra Light House which is closed to that friend’s home.

The last visit for few Sacred sites in Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa

I have visited Anuradhapura sacred sites for about 5 times before and this was my last visit which is done in 2018 with friends. Captured some beautiful sceneries and this was a day trip as we visited another important place for our team.

A Quick visit to Beddagana Wetland Park

Beddagana Wetland Park in Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte is one of the newest attractions close to Colombo which was opened in 2016 close to Colombo. The park covers 18 hectares of wetland surrounding Diyawanna Oya lake which is part of the much larger Diyawanna Oya flood plains Wildlife Sanctuary declared by the Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1985. The park was created as a recreation facility that helps with flood control, provides a refuge for flora and fauna, and moderates the temperature of the immediate surroundings.

Ballabandigala/ Bellanbandigala Hike – 1935m

Ballabandigala (බල්ලාබැඳිගල ) / Bellanbandigala (බෙල්ලන්බැඳිගල) is a 1935m height beautiful destination in peak wilderness and it belongs to the Nallathanniya route as it’s neighbor is Yaka Andu Gala (යකා ඇඩූ ගල ) and the waterfall. I have planned this hike since March 2018 but was not able to make it realize due to some issues. Even though we planned this hike in January 2019 but due to a very urgent matter we had to postpone this hike at the last moment. Finally, I had to make this hike realize with Sajith and Migara on a weekend in October.

Randenigala Mountain Range via Padupola Plains – 1120m

Randenigala mountain range is a unique and lesser-visited area due to the massive risk of wild elephants. Because all the drivers can see elephants at Raja Mawatha which go through the VRR forest reserve where no other residences or even a single resting place on that road. We had this experience along with our Hegasulla Hike done on the same day morning. After we came to the top of Hegasulla Mountain we decided to descend to the Randenigala range and climb up all three main peaks of the range.

It was a very hard hike as we were lack of water. Our water reserve was finished at Hegasulla and however, we started our trek to Randenigala range with a hope that we will meet up a stream. It was not difficult as we had to walk through Maana bushes and at some point it was difficult on climbing as falling of rocks and slippering.

Roaming around Thummodara

We have visited some waterfalls at Avissawella in February 2018 but we didn’t have time to visit two more falls and the Seethawaka garden. Hence I and Nirosh planned this day trip to cover those places and it was successful since we had enough time to see them.

Bomburu Fall / Ravan Fall and Hakgala Garden

We had a train journey to Nuwaraeliya for meet a special person of our member. Since Madusanka is there, we thought to visit Ravan Fall which couldn’t see on our previous journey. So, we took Madusanka’s car and driven to Perawela to see the Bomburu Bride as we cannot pass her without visiting and after that we went to Ravan fall and spend sometime over there.

After that we went to Hakgala botanical garden we I have been there for the last time on 2002. Since we had enough time to roaming around Nuwaraeliya we walked along the paths and had a silent exploration about a path to climb Hakgala Mountain. Because Hakgala is a high sensitive forest reserve and as we heard on one can climb this giant mountain due to this restrictions. However we couldn’t find any secret path or even any clue about climbing this mountain but we were able to achieve this mountain range in October 2018 successfully. But at that time I and Malith are only able to do this secret hike and still we didn’t published any details about that hike as we are not able to disclose the methods we followed.

An Evening at Mount Lavinia Beach

Mount Lavinia Beach in Sri Lanka is a main sea-bathing spot in the island. Here, depending on season, the waves can be swimmable and it’s host to some amazing sunsets. It also recides in a city steeped with history.

The city’s name is built up around the original residence of Sir Thomas Maitland who was the Governor General of Ceylon from 1805-1811. At a welcoming party held in his honor on his arrival in the island he set his eyes upon Lovina, a local mestizo dancer, whose father was the Headman of the troupe. It is said that Sir Thomas was smitten by her beautiful smile and charms and soon found himself obsessed by her and took every measure possible to see her more.

Visit to Galle Fort

Galle Fort (Sinhala: ගාලු කොටුව Galu Kotuwa; Tamil: காலிக் கோட்டை, romanized: Kālik Kōṭṭai), in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 432 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka.

Randomz of Puwakpitiya and Padukka

This is another one day journey to hidden waterfalls in Colombo district.
