As per my experience, Devil’s Staircase road is the most hardest, dangerous and beautiful road in Sri Lanka. I knew about this on 2012 and I was lucky to visit there at the beginning of 2013.

An unknown peak near Bopaththalawa was initially introduced to Lakdasun by our loving friend Ashan. After that I thought to go there and we all gathered as a team and travelled to Bogawanthalawa by a hired bus. TAs Ashan said an unknown peak we thought to named it as “Haritha Kanda” as per the meaning of that area.

Mutukelina Wewa (lake) is situated in Pathahewaheta, Kandy (near Bellwood). It is really an amazing place. It is situated about 17km away (up to the hills) from Kandy city.

December 11, 12 and 13th were the days and it was a long weekend which was not to be wasted. Our decision was to go on camping in Udawalawe or in Wilpaththu but ultimately a decision was taken to go for Udawalawe.

In 2013 we camped at Hortain plains for the first time , since the day we left that place we were missing that place this is the second night we stayed up there .

Velangolla pathana has a group of wild elephants. This was kind of a risky journey to visit these elephants.

Every year we handover school items to rural school. Last time we went to rural school in Badulla. This time we choose Narangamuwa Primary School in Laggala Pallegama to our project.

Bambarella to Thangappuwa is a popular trail amoung the knuckles trekkers. There are several attractions can be seen in this trail.

A5 highway (Peradeniya-Chenkalady) winds through mountains and gives oppurtunity to a traveller to view 8+ waterfalls at the section of Pussellawa to Nuweraeliya.

We all gathered near to the Pettah railway station at 4.00am and the bus left around 4.15am. We stopped the bus for breakfast after passing the Ratnapura and again we stopped the bus at Pambahinna junction to buy lunch packets.

Next day morning we start our journey & went to Nilaweli Beach.Next we went to Pigeon Island. After 10-15 minutes boat ride we reached to island.

Again long awaited August vacation came. We decided to arrange a tour like last year we do. Our plan was first visit to Anuradhapura & arrange other places later.
