We have visited the Bulathkohupitiya area recently while we going to another function of one of our friends. It was a clear day and had enough water level to feel nature’s voice in this magnificent environment. We have visited several waterfalls and fortunately, there was enough water at this time. Also, we have climbed up to the Olu fall and caught the amazing beauty hidden at the top area.

Ranamuru Oya flows parallel to Ranamure-Duwili Falls trail forming number of cascades. Some of them are more than 30m tall. This is our exploration of waterfalls of Ranamuru Oya.

Few years ago we build a “Kuti” in Kukulamalapotha area & donate to Monks. Several monks lived there time to time & from last two months of time no one there. Therefore we plan to visit there & clean the place before this years “Was Period”.

Narangala at Bulathkohupitiya was famous recently due to the longest sliding rock in Sri Lanka. This is our one day trip to hike Narangala and sliding rock.

The area called Dumbara will come across after passing Ella Dewalaya (ඇල්ල ලග දේවාලය) following Ingiriya town in Panadura-Rathnapura road (A 8). You have to cross the bridge over Kalu Ganga at Elle Dewalaya and turn to right to go to Dumbara. This shady road and misty treetops give the feeling of Knuckles-Dumbara when you drive there.

This is the first time that my wife visited peak wilderness for the pilgrimage of holy foot-print. We had this on a poya day as the Uda Maluwa is open on poya days. We headed to Hatton by night mail the previous day and we have arranged a van to pick up us from there and to Nallathanniya for Rs.3,500/-. We started our hike in the dawn and slowly we were able to reach the summit at 12 noon and fortunately, the Uda Maluwa was open for worship.

Labuheladola Waterfall chain is a hidden waterfall in the area as there is a risky path but we were get notified of this from one of our contact at the Gawawragiriya. After that, he was able to give the exact details of the area and the path and advised us to be more careful as the path is too risky.

We had another day to enjoy by hunting a few hidden waterfalls in Horana and Ellagawa which were we noted during our previous journeys. We headed from Bandaragama and continue the first visit to Ella Kanda Ella/ Elle Kanda Fall/ Elle Kanda Ella which is near to the famous Ella Kanda Dewalaya. This was what we identified on our previous journey to Wanahami Cave complex.

Galaha and Delthota are two beautiful entities at Kandy district but hidden from routine travelling routes. These are some travel destinations around Galaha and Delthota on my way to Rikillagaskada.

Horana is a beautiful city surrounded by greenish paddy fields and small hills. There are different places in and around Horana including archeological sites, temples and lakes. This is my overlook of some places at Horana.

This hike was planned by Nirosh as he has noticed this place according to a blog post. After I joined with him at Bandaragama we headed to the location and parked our bike near a village house and walked along the footpath. There was a small path but it is not much clear. However, within a few minutes, we were able to reach the cave complex, and the environment and the caves are really attractive and beautiful. Below is the blog post that Nirosh kept and we followed.

After the Covid-19 pandemic situation, we had our first journey to Sripada on Erathna route especially to check about the status of the name boards and dust bins which we were placed in December 2019 during our Cleaning project. We informed to PHI Kuruwita and had this hike without informing anyone as the offseason hike is not yet started at that time.
