කඳු, හෙල්, නිම්න, තැනිතලා, පතන, දිය ඇළි, උමං, ගුහා ආදී සොබා නිර්මාණ රාශියක් පිරුණු මේ ලක්බිම සැබවින්ම සුන්දරය භූමිකම්පා, ගිනිකඳු රහිත මේ පොළොව විවිධ දේශගුණික තත්ත්වල පිරුන කුඩා දිවයිනකි. ඉන් මධ්‍යම පළාත යනු රටේ අතිශය සුන්දර ඉසව්වකට දෙස් විදෙස් කවුරුත් පිළිගන්නා මතයකි.

Kikiliyamana (2240m) is the 6th highest peak of Sri Lanka and top is occupied by transmission towers. Karunagala (1668m) is a trekking peak situated at other end of Kikiliyamana Forest Reserve. This is our two days journey to both peaks.

First of all let me go to the past. It was in 2009 when Mithila suggested that lets start a trip report section on Lakdasun which was more of a Forum based web site and I was lucky enough to contribute the 2nd report to this archive which was my virgin hike to Sripada { Sri pada Off season and Mapalana (Mapanana) Falls(141m) }.

It had been 3 years  since I left Monaragala so I wanted to pay a visit to refresh my memories. On our way we decided to visit an unknown mini Worlds end close to Haputhale.

Kithulgala is a popular travel destination situated at Colombo-Hatton road. It is famous among genera public as people come here for a bath at rapid Kelani River. And it is the only place in Sri Lanka where white water rafting is practiced.
Apart from all these Kithulgala has another value due to some waterfalls situated around. This is my attempt to cover waterfalls and some common travel destinations around Kithulgala.

Last May when we did Duwili ella trail from Etanwala we met few of our friends who decided to get down from Ranamure side and they sent me the Kmz for my future references.

Both of us badly needed to go on a road trip and due to the unfortunate situation around Central province we had to take a huge detour to reach our destinations.

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.

Hinguruwatta Kanda is a beautiful peak with nice view points situated at upper border of Knuckles massif. This is our one day journey to this peak.

Even though we have had so many ordinary trips none of them have not given an experience like this one. Yes, we just finished a 20km hike from Ohiya to Bambarakanda.

This year I have been hunting Mini world end’s around the country and on my quest I came across Kelebokka view point too. We left early to reach Panvila where we were accompanied by Nishan (who resides at Panvila) to our first destination which was Hathale MWE.

Ambalakanda (920m) is a mountain situated at Aranayaka area with an easy access. Galhenagala is situated closer to famous Asupini falls . This our journey to Ambalakanda followed by accidental visit to Galhenagala.
