Kumarun Penna Gala/ Remuna Kanda Hike – 150m

When I wanted to do a small hike on a half day of a Holiday Nirosh suggest me a hike around in his area. It was a small mountain situated in Remuna near Anguruwathota. I left from Moratuwa and met Nirosh at Bandaragama and we proceed along the Panadura – Anguruwathota road and quickly reached to Remuna village. It is called Kumariyan Penna Gala (කුමරියන් පැන්න ගල) and there was a story behind that name. 

However when I checked it in Metric Maps, it marked as “Ramuna Kanda” (රෙමුණ කන්ද) and height about 149.05m. We came to the trail head where the name board established and then after passing the Anda Dola (ආඳා දොළ) we have to go along the rocky staircase and it was not difficult as the footpath is fully clear. It took few minutes and we came to the top of the mountain. As long as in my memory this is the shortest mountain that I have climbed and the view also good. Even then height is very small we had a good view of the entire area.

Bopaththalawa Mountain (=1900m) / බෝපත්තලාව කන්ද

Bopaththalawa peak is a mountain risen from the greenish plain called Bopaththalawa. This was our one day journey to Bopaththalawa peak.

Pahanthudawa Fall and Pulun Fall on the way to Haputale

It was very easy to find Pahanthudawa fall as it is the main attraction of this road. So far many hotels and guest houses in this area was based on this fall. This is a very small waterfall and beautiful and too dangerous. Many of people were died over there due to flash floods and falling to the deep pool. Reaching to the closer of the fall is much difficult since we need to walk along the rocks and it might be slippery. Hence please avoid of visiting this fall during rainy season and soon after the raining.

Golumale and Harsbedda Mini World’s end

We had a trip around Walapane and Nuwaraeliya area and suddenly Madusanka said that there is a place called Golumale and it was situated near Walapane area. Then we thought to visit this place and we thought this will be a just a place for a bath. At that time it was nearly around 2pm and we are also at the same area. Hence we headed to Golumle asking the directions from the locals. Villagers are very friendly and they clearly told us the path to Golumale. We had another plan to visit Harasbedda Mini World’s End on the way back to Nuwaraeliya.

Kiribathgala Mountain – 950m

Kiribathgala is a long awaited hike in our life as we have seen this giant mountain many number of times at the time of passing Pelmadulla.  We went to pathakada side and the village called Bogoda-Aramba. We started our hike along the Lihiniyak Kelina dola and walked from the left side forest.

It was a nice journey as we walked along a stream but it was dried at that time hence it was very easy for us to climb upward. There were no much leeches and we had enough sources to dink some water. We hiked about 3-4 hours through the forest and reached to the top of mountain which looks like a flat area. Then we walked further along that flat area and was able to reach a higher point.

Re-visited around Bulathkohupitiya to Dedugala

This was a unplanned journey which is done with Nirosh and few of his friends. On this day I was travelling to Kandy for a personal work by bicycle and Nirosh and his friends were roaming around Kithugala, Yatiyantota in the morning. Then I told him to join with me at Dolosbage road which can come from Nawalapitiya as they have passed Olu fall also. Then we met in the evening and headed to Dolosbage and planned to cover road side waterfalls as they didn’t visited them before. We didn;t think about the beautiful falls located bit away from the main road such as Suramba Fall, Diyathiri Fall etc.

Visit to Kabaragala Fall, Manan Fall and Kirindi Fall

This is one of our day hike done with Nirosh long time ago. We was hunting plenty of waterfalls near by our areas and these three falls we have marked to do in a one day and we left from Bandaragama around 8am. We was searching all the three falls clearly on our way to Pelmadulla. Finally we were able to come home by 5pm.

Dolukanda Hike (දොලුකන්ද) – 622m

Dolukanda is a well known mountain range due to the Dolukanda Raja Maha Viharaya (Dolukanda Buddhist Temple) and it is believed that the mountain is directly linked to the great Indian epic, Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka . In Ramayana story this mountain declared as Dolukada Sanjeewani mountain. This is one of the five Sanjeevani drops in Sri Lanka which located in Kurunegala District. This is one of the popular Ramayana sites of Sri Lanka , where it is believed that the parts of Himalaya Mountain have been felt while it was carried to Sri Lanka by Hanuman. Sanjeewani in Hindu mythology is a magical herb with super natural powers which of them considered be growing at dark and believing to cure any disease. This mountain or important site of Ramayana tour in Sri Lanka is situated in Hiripitiya village which is located about 20 KM north of the district capital of Kurunegala.

Sinked Ruins of Kadadora and nearby attractions

Kadadora Vihara (Also known as Kadadora Sri Priyabimbaramaya Vihara) was a Buddhist temple, situated in Kadadora, Nuwara Eliya District, Sri Lanka. The temple was abandoned and ruined as the construction of Kotmale Dam in 1979 by Mahaweli Development programme. The ruins of Vihara still can be seen when the water level of Kotmale Reservoir is low, but the sight is very rare.

It is said that about 57 villages and 54 religious places in Kotmale were submerged with the completion of the reservoir in 1985. Except Kadadora Vihara other shrines including Thispane Vihara, Morape Devalaya, Othalawa Vihara, Pattini Devalaya and Medagoda Vihara were said to have gone under water when the reservoir was built. However, many of these temple ruins no longer exist.

Hunting Dozen of Waterfalls along the Uma Oya

This is a bit dangerous and difficult hike as we need to walk along the upward of Uma Oya. We headed to Bomburu falls which is the our trail head. We started upward trek since we need to catch the night mail to Colombo. Hence it is the easiest way to reach Nuwaraeliya rather than getting down to Bomburu fall from the reservoir.  We came to the Bomburu fall early morning and purchased the tickets. This remind me my first visit to Bomburu fall, at that time there is no any ticket counter or any notice board or even people.
