Bulathkohupitiya-Narangala Hike (880m) | |
Narangala at Bulathkohupitiya was famous recently due to the longest sliding rock in Sri Lanka. This is our one day trip to hike Narangala and sliding rock. |
Monkey Mountain (520m)…….A part of Viyana Hela | |
Corona outbreaks has opened new dimensions of travelling for me. I used to visit at some of the hotels which were out of reach earlier because of the cost factor. Monkey Mountain hike was done as a part of visit to Gal Oya Lodge situated at Bibile. |
A quick hike to Dumbara Ella at Ingiriya | |
The area called Dumbara will come across after passing Ella Dewalaya (ඇල්ල ලග දේවාලය) following Ingiriya town in Panadura-Rathnapura road (A 8). You have to cross the bridge over Kalu Ganga at Elle Dewalaya and turn to right to go to Dumbara. This shady road and misty treetops give the feeling of Knuckles-Dumbara when you drive there. |

The Olde Empire Hotel building, which is located within walking distance from the sacred Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, was established as a coffee factory over 110 years ago has been declared a conserved building in the world heritage city of Kandy by the United Nations.

Wife’s first Pilgrimage of Sripada in the off-season | |
This is the first time that my wife visited peak wilderness for the pilgrimage of holy foot-print. We had this on a poya day as the Uda Maluwa is open on poya days. We headed to Hatton by night mail the previous day and we have arranged a van to pick up us from there and to Nallathanniya for Rs.3,500/-. We started our hike in the dawn and slowly we were able to reach the summit at 12 noon and fortunately, the Uda Maluwa was open for worship. |

Exploring the Labuheladola Waterfall chain and Gonamagulana Fall | |
Labuheladola Waterfall chain is a hidden waterfall in the area as there is a risky path but we were get notified of this from one of our contact at the Gawawragiriya. After that, he was able to give the exact details of the area and the path and advised us to be more careful as the path is too risky. |
A relaxed journey to Dumbara and Elle Kanda Fall | |
We had another day to enjoy by hunting a few hidden waterfalls in Horana and Ellagawa which were we noted during our previous journeys. We headed from Bandaragama and continue the first visit to Ella Kanda Ella/ Elle Kanda Fall/ Elle Kanda Ella which is near to the famous Ella Kanda Dewalaya. This was what we identified on our previous journey to Wanahami Cave complex. |
