Waduwawa was one of my friends home village. Ever since I had heard about the lovely area from him I always wanted to pay a visit. Early morning after finishing a quick hike to Yogamu kanda we started to explore along the Polgahawela – Narammala road which ran through Waduwawa.

We were able to explore some hidden waterfalls in between Knuckles 5 peaks foot path and Kandasamigala. Our journey started from Gomaraya town and proceed along the road goes to Knuckles View Holiday Bungalow and Knuckles Plantation Bungalow. Then we go to the end of the road and entered to the forest along a water stream. Then we climbed the Kandasamigala and got down to the upper part of the stream which we followed at the beginning.

In 2012 while we were exploring Rajagala we noted a prominent hill which locals called Balagala / Walimbe and after few map reading sessions we got to know that this was called Walimbe hela / Friars hood (because of the look of a hat of a priest). I was determined to conquer it and in 2014 I actually attempted it while I was turned back by a false 119 complain.

Year 2018 is not for instantaneous trips but to cover up long awaited dream hikes. Mandaram Nuwara to Piduruthalagala was once a dream since 2009 and Malaka’s report played a major part in it.

Kabaragala is the highest peak of the Dolosbage range which has a height around 1500m. It has an almost flat terrain at the top similar to Horton Plains and there’s a huge drop similar to the World’s End as well.

It was 9 Years back when I first came to know about this magical location but somehow I couldn’t pull it off due to various reasons. Not like 9 years back now I was fully equipped with lot of information which aided me to pull this off! I think I dont need to explain the route details since its documented well in previous reports and almost every one is aware about the trail.

We almost completed 7 days of our trip. Its time to leave from Ampara District. We decided to visit Bibile. We leave from Inginiyagala around 7.30 a.m & we came to Bibile via Namal Oya.

We still in Ampara & we started our 6th day of the tour to Maha Oya side. We took the bus to Maha Oya & from there we took three wheel to visit “Hot Wells in Maha Oya”. Around 9.00 a.m we came to the site.

After two years of planning and reading trip reports in Lakdasun and posts on Elakiri about Doowili ella, finally we were able to gather 4 people (well, in the beginning there were 6 and on the day sprit was remain), who were extremely needed to do this hike.

Few years back i came to know that there were two mini worlds ends at Walapane area and directions towards Harasbedda WE was given to me by Mr Palitha. My other place of interest was a magical location called Golumale bordering VRR reserve.

Deraniyagala area is blessed with number of waterfalls and water level of these falls are high throughout the year due to good rainfalls. Most of these falls are less in height but rich in beauty.

Sudugala and Wawegama are the attracts located between Nawalapitiya and Galboda. We can visit these places within a short time period. Sudugala is the popular waterfall and a Wawegama is a lake with beautiful surroundings. During my trip to Wewelthalawa I saw a Welcome board at Ulapane which tempted me to do this trip.
