Katalagolla Oya Expedition – කැටලාගොල්ල ඔය

Katalagolla oya is situated at the Northern border of VRR Forest reserve. We had this great experience about 2 years ago with our Sobasiri team. This is a dangerous hike as we have to consider on many facts. Hence enjoy this hike on a moderate weather day with fully equipped items. You need to have a good plan about the journey and the time management is necessary on this hike due to the difficulty of the journey.

සමනළ වන මැද නටබුන් සොයා ගිය අපි මීළඟට ගියේ තවත් අපූරු ස්ථානයකට. ඒක කන්දක්. මහ කළු ගල් පර්වතයකින් හෙබි විශාල කන්දක් වන එය සමනළ කන්දට පෙනෙන්නේ තවත් කන්දක් සමගින් හාවී කඳු වැටියක් ලෙසයි. සමනළ කන්ද යනු ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ලෝකයට ගෙන ගිය සලකුණයි. මන්ද අතීතයේ අරාබි මුහුද හා ඉන්දියන් සාගරයේ යාත්‍රිකයන් මෙම අරුම පුදුම කන්ද දැක අප සශ්‍රීක ගොඩබිමට ගොඩවැදුණු බව නොරහසකි. අද අප සමනළ අඩවියේ හුදෙකලා වූ කන්දක් සොයා ගෙන ගියේ අතීතාවර්ජනයක්ද සමගිනි.

Exploring Pannila Limestone Cave Complex

The Rakwana mountain range, which is located in the margin of the northern side of Sinharaja, a UNESCO world heritage site, is an area having rich bio–diversity. The recent excavations of the alluvial deposits in Sabaragamuwa basin associated with northern side of Sinharaja area revealed that the existance of caves in the vicinity of Pannila mountain. The cave formation is seen within the rocks of crystalline limestons (marble),which is popularly known as ‘Pannila Hunugala’ is of 550 m in length and 350 cm height at its entrance of which 60 cm filled with water, where special cave characteristics are visible. Stalagmite and stalactites of 2.5 m height at the core of the cave was believed to be formed after re-crystallization of pre-existing crystalline limestones- the basement rock – in the Highland Complex of Sri Lanka belongs to the Precambrian age. Speleothem dimensions were used to measure the volume of stalagmite and stalagtites. The action of chemical weathering of crystalline limestone followed by limy solutions makes it secondary features like stalagmite and stalactite.It is postulated from the Geological map of Sri Lanka that the same crystalline limestones bed is extended to the Rakwana Pannila Hunugala’ ,Samanalawewa, Handagiriya caves.

Karawita Kanda Hike / Eluwagala – 595m

Karawita Kanda which is known as Eluwagala is a unique famous mountain range in Karawita Samanpura area in Kalawana. This is a single mountain range which is belongs to minor mountains in lower areas of the country. The name of “Karawita kanda” mentioned in the metric map but locals use “Eluwagala” as it’s name. 

Eluwagala is not a hard climb but little difficult to hike during rainy season as usual. There is only one rocky plain at the top of the mountain and it is marked in the Metric map as the “Karawita Kanda” and height for 594m. Our initial hike was from a tea patch and after that we walkied along a dried water stream. Finally we reached to a Kekilla bushy area and within few minutes were able to come to the top of the mountain.

Waterfalls Hunting at Wewelwatta Road

Wewelwatte road is one of my favorite route in my travel life, I went more than 10 times on that road specially before it gets carpeted. There are plenty of waterfalls located in that road. Here I visited these falls during my journeys and they are list down in order below. Kindly note that there are some more waterfalls at this route such as Anda Ella, Goxin Ella, Pareiyyan Ella, Madde Kanda Ella, Polwatta Amuna Ella, Halmehi Ella, Kunissan Ella, Dodam Gallena Ella, Demala Ella, Batahena Ella etc.

You can plan this waterfall journey as per the given GPS coordinates. Without telling any description you can create your own route from Bopath to Beruwatte falls by using below GPS coordinates. It will be more attractive if you can travel in this route soon after a heavy rain. And remember do not visit them during heavy rainy season as there are so many flash floods and even we cannot get in closer to them during that time as they are acting crazy.

Aliyawetunaela Hike – 1665m (අලියාවැටුණඇල)

දුමෙන් බර මිටියාවත නොහොත් දුම්බර වන පියසේ වසන් වූ තවත් හරි අපූරු කන්දක් සොයා යාමට අපට සිතුණේ මිනින්දෝරු සිතියම් තුළ එය ස්ථානගත වී තිබුණු නිසාවෙනි. මුහුදු මට්ටමේ සිට උස මීටර් 1800 ට වැඩි කඳු හතරකින් පිරි නකල්ස් වන පෙතේ පස්වැනියට උසම කන්ද වූ අලියා වැටුණ ඇළකන්ද උසින් මීටර 1665 ක් විය. කිසිදු තොරතුරක් සොයාගත නොහැකි වූ මේ අපූරු කන්ද සොයා අප වන වැදුණේ ජී.පී.එස්. (GPS) තාක්ෂණික සිතියම් අනුසාර කරගනිමිනි.

Hunting of Sinharajaya Waterfalls

We had a journey to explore all the waterfalls in Sinharajaya. But we had to do it in two separate dates as per the time availability. However we have covered many waterfalls located at the border of Sinharajaya and some other falls located nearby villages too. They are Neluwa Duwili Ella, Lankagama Duwili Ella, Lankagama Brahmana Ella, Tattu Ella, Gal Oruwa Ella, Hathmale Ella

An unforgettable day at Kalpitiya

Kalpitiya is located in Puttalam district, North Western province of Sri Lanka. It is known for its natural environment. It consists of 14 islands. It has a total area of 16.73 km2. The people of Kalpitiya are mostly fishermen. It is now developing as a tourist destination. 

Extended Journey to Doric Bungalow and Arippu Fort

Once ghost towns along the Puttlum – Mannar coastal line bordering Wilpattu National Park, these small towns and villages have now woken up form the 30 year slumber after the end of the LTTE terrorist occupation.

This stretch of sea was world famous for thousands of years for for producing finest pearls in the world but today a waste land with few fishing villages due to over exploitation. Portuguese, Dutch and British all had considerable interest in the region and the best example is the massive bungalow of the British Governor, Sir Frederick North (1798-1805) built for the supervision of pearl fishery operations in the region.
