On the 23rd of July, Poya day suddenly I thought to have a visit in few archaeological sites in Gampaha district which are not yet to be covered by my selfy. Hence I talked to Achintha and he agreed to meet at 3.00 pm at Yakkala junction. So, I had a route plan and we met at Yakkala and one by one visited the below places. There was a little shower at 5.00 pm when we were at Pettagamgala Kanda and able to stay few minutes over there and continue our pilgrimage tour after the rain.

Nuwaraeliya is my favorite city in Sri Lanka and I visited there more than 20 times in my life. Out of them, 18 visits are due to my adventure travel purposes.

I spent about 8 nights at hotels and our friend madusanka’s home and had 3 camping nights at Nuwaraeliya city premises. Currently, I have covered almost all the attractions in the Nuwaraeliya city area.
