Independence at the Chariot path of Ravana

The Chariot path trail starts at ‘Frotoft’ also called as ‘Perattasi’ a small village is located 10-12 km from Pussellawa town.

ගැරඬි ඇල්ල (Gerandi falls) the extreme hike

This year appears to be different because it seems like I have found my long lost passion on waterfalls. After my first visit to Bambaragan oya and Ellagala, I decided to do another similar hike which was in my to-do list for many years. This time it was a cascade of waterfalls called Gerandi ella (not the one at Tawalamtenna). Two years back while browsing on FB I noted an album on these waterfalls posted by Dr Sudesh Chulani and since that day I did want to repeat the same feet he achieved.

The Hike in Valentine day-Alagalla (1148m)

Alagalla is a popular peak among travellers due to it’s easily accessibility. This is my second visit to Alagalla.

Randoms around Hambanthota

In 2013 I did a grand tour around Thissamaharama and Kataragama and this year I thought of extending it further away towards Hambanthota. In this report I have focused on few places I haven’t visited already. As usual I left early morning and reached Bandagiriya to start off my day.

Hiking Alagalla to Poojagala

Last year (2015) our team did a hike to Alagalla with a overnight camping. We were able to hike only a part of the Alagalla mountain range. So we decided to hike this mountain another day with a proper plan. Some days later I saw a video on youtube on ‘Alagalla’ which is a documentary done by ITN TV Channel. This gave me some idea about entire Alagalla range.

Sembuwatte Lake & Hunnass Falls – Better Place for a Family picnic with a feeling of Natural Beauty

We started form my home around 8 am. Reached Wattegama around ½ Hr time. Up to Alkaduwa Junction you have well carpet road from there not carpeted but no problem for drive.

Vantage point of Nagrak (1800m)

Almost one year back I did reach Nagrak to visit Galagama falls and while we were at Nagrak I did note a peak protruding out parallel to Gommolli range and Havagala range. This seemed to be an ideal place to leisurely hang around and this December while we were itching without doing any hikes we thought of giving it a try to stretch out our muscles. As usual early as possible we left and reached Belihul oya at around 7am.

Hike to Wawlagala and Waterfalls on the way

We Started the journey at 7 am and reached Nawalapitiya by 8 am. We had Breakfast at Nawalapitiya and came along the Nawalapitiya Ginigathena road around 5 Km. Just before the Balanthota there is a road to the right which is heading to Seaforth (17 Km). You have to have a 4 x 4 Vehicle to go in this road for first 12 KM.

බම්බරගන් (Bambaragan oya) expedition

For years I have been passing Hunnasgiriya while going home from Monaragala and almost always I would not forget to have a glance at an unknown cascade plunging down Kunckles forest reserve. Repeatedly seen this cascade was enough to stimulate me. January 2016 needed an account opener and the best way of doing it was by hunting cascades.

Ritigala-The giant of Rajarata.

Ritigala is the highest mountain of Nothern plane of Sri Lanka. It has significant archaeological and biological value.

Mysterious paintings at Kurulangala & Rock carved Buddha Statues at Budupatunna.

The day I did the ‘Nil Diya Pokuna’ exploration, I was eager do the Kululangala too. Once I thought should have done with Nil Diya pokuna exploration, but this can be done in one shot (not on the same day). I buzzed trip partner, Kasun Janaka. He is always ready for adventures trips. So read the trip report by Ashan and called Methananda to check the weather. Everything was on the positive side. And also I remembered Kasun Des was telling about Budupatunna.

Camping at Gawarawila plains

Studying the map was my childhood hobby. As soon as I returned from school every day, I used to open the World Atlas Map book and travelled around the world in my imaginations. It is still my hobby but the medium has changed to technology, a.k.a Google Maps. A couple of years ago, when I was looking for trails to Adam’s peak on Google maps, I noticed a place like Horton Plains on the peak Wilderness Sanctuary. It looked nearly impossible to access through the ground on Google Maps due to sudden elevation. Though I was eager to find out more about it, I couldn’t find a single thing for years.
