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.

Re-visited Adisham and Nine arch Bridge

Adisham Hall, or Adisham Bungalow is a country house near Haputale, in the Badulla District, Sri Lanka. At present it houses the Adisham Monastery a congregation of St. Sylvester.

The house was built in 1931 by an English aristocrat and planter Sir Thomas Villiers, former Chairman of George Steuart Co, a trading and estate agency based in Colombo. Sir Thomas was a grandson of Lord John Russell and descendant of the Dukes of Bedford. It was designed by R. Booth and F. Webster in Tudor and Jacobean style, on 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. Adisham Hall played host to many prominent personalities of the colony until the retirement of Sir Thomas, after which it was sold to Sedawatte Mills. In 1961 it was purchased by the Roman Catholic Church and was subsequently converted to a monastery. The house is well preserved along with its period fittings and furniture, and is open to visitors.

Roaming at Bambarakiri and Sera Falls

This beautiful Sera Ella fall, the subject of several poems, is situated in the Dumbara Jungle that is split into two sections, both 10m in height. Kitul Canal, from the Kaudagammana Mountain, and the Hunumadala River, from the Gonamada and Deyuthu Gammmaduwa mountains, flow in unison to form the Puwakpitiya River. This later joins Thelegam River, at which point the fall is created as the water tumbles down a protruding rock face, visible from Dumbara Jungle

Bena Samanala Hike (2010m)

සමනල රක්ෂිතයේ කඳු අතරින් ප්‍රධානම කන්ද වන සිරිපා කන්ද එහි සුවිශේෂී පිහිටීම නිසාම දිවයිනේ සතර දිග් භාගයටම දැකිය හැකිය. නමුත් වනපෙතේ විශාලතම කන්ද වනුයේ බෑන සමනල ගල ය. එය රක්ෂිතයේ උසින් තෙවෙනි ස්ථානය ගන්නේ මීටර් 2010ක් ලෙසිනි. බොහෝ දුර්ග මාර්ග සේම කළුගඟේ ප්‍රධානම ජල පෝෂකයක් වී ගලා යන දියවර උපත පටන් ගන්න බෑන සමනල කන්දේ අදටත් කිසිවෙකු නොගිය ප්‍රපාතය තුළ යම් අබිරහසක් ඇති බව බොහෝ කාලයක් පටන් විවිධ පුද්ගලයින් අදහස් දක්වා ඇත.

Roaming in Athwelthota for Waterfalls

Kalutara district is a beautiful area where we could found lot of waterfalls. There are many waterfalls located in Athweltota and Baduraliya area which are much famous among the villagers as well as the local tourists. On this day we went to find some waterfalls located in Athwelthota area. Athwelthota is a beautiful village where I have very old memories over there. Also, we were in this area to find some other waterfalls in Morawaka.

Day visit to Wewelthalawa Highland

Wewelthalawa is a beautiful plateau located near Kithulgala and Yatiyantota. It is also near to the famous Olu Fall and Wawulagala on Sea forth – Amanawela road. We should take the prior permission to visit Wewelthalawa as it is a privately owned estate.

Waterfalls, on the way to Belihuloya to Bandarawela

This was located at the Badulla- Ratnapura main road. It is about 100 hike from the main road to the base of the waterfall.  The 6m-high Brampton Falls is set amongst tropical jungle and flows to the Walawe River. It derives its water from the eastern slopes of the Papulugala Mountain (1530m). It is situated 10km from Belihuloya, near the Brampton Tea Estate (at the 106th-mile post).

Thotupola Kanda Hike (2360m)

Totapolakanda (also Thotupolakanda or Thotupola Kanda), is the third highest mountain in Sri Lanka situated in Nuwara Eliya district 2,359.46 m (7,733 ft) above mean sea level. The mountain is located within the Horton Plains National Park. A trail to the top of the mountain, about two kilometers long, starts a few metres away from the Pattipola entrance to the Horton Plains National Park. Most parts of the mountain surface are covered with shrubs adapted to the cool and windy climate of Horton Plains National Park. Strobilanthes, Osbeckia and Rhodomyrtus species grown as shrubs are common among them.

Thalpe Natural Pools and Coconut Tree Hill

Thalpe Beach is a beach situated in the Southern province of Sri Lanka, close to the city of Galle. It is a popular destination among both locals and foreigners. There are vibrant shops, restaurant and various water sports related activities to do in the surrounding area of Thalpe.

This forest ecosystem, which covers an area of 6000 acres within the Ayagama secretariat division, can be categorized as a low land evergreen rain forest. The dominant tree species are Dipterocarpus sp., Mesua sp., Doona sp., Schumacheria castaneifolia, Artocarpus nobilis, Calophyllum inophyllum, Mangifera zeylanica, Humboldtia laurifolia, Oncosperma fasciculatum and Canarium zeylanicum species. Kukulugala mountain, also known as “Horanae Kanda (හොරණෑ කන්ද)” in sinhala, is 705m above sea leavel.

Nayabedda/ St. Catherines 2 Mountain Hike (1943m)

Nayabedda Mountain is on our list for a long time as we have seen it on our Wangedigala hike. This mountain is marked in Metric Map as “St. Catherines 2” and the 1 should be St. Catherine’s Seat which is also marked in the Metric Map without the word “Seat”. When I explore this location in Metric map I realized the name given in here and the name we currently use. Actually we are using the estate name for this mountain. But the real name is “St. Catherines 2”.

Kukulagala/ Diyatalawa Hike (1532m)

Kukulagala mountain is situated near Rikillagaskada and it also is known as Diyatalawa mountain in Metric Map. We have noticed this mountain on the way to our Loolkandura. After a few months,  we planned this hike and it was much easy for us since one of our friend is living at Nuwaraeliya.
