They are six acceptable routes to reach most sacred mountain of the world-Sri Pada / Adam’s peak. This is the seventh route along Battulu Oya from Fishing hut.

Nawalapitiya and Thalawakele are two areas situated in different districts (Kandy and Nuwera Eliya) connected by B grade road-B317. Travelling along this winding road gives opportunity to visit number of waterfalls. This is my attempt to give information about some waterfalls situated in this scenic road.

Dumbanagala (1642m) is a mountain situated at Knuckles Forest reserve. It’s peak is always covered by the mist giving the name Dumbanagala. This is our journey to Dumbanagala in a misty day.

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.

I remember that I heard about these waterfalls on our visit to Rotupihilla Cave complex. Chandare mama told us about these falls but at that time we couldn’t have enough time to go and visit them as we had to go to Nuwaraeliya before the night.

I was visited Sri Palabaddala temple for collecting some information about the mysteries and unbelievable incidents that Rev Premaloka Thero and Rev Chandraloka Thero faced.

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) }.

Bana Samanala Gala (2010m) is a fascinating rock situated at Peak wilderness. This is our successful one day journey to Bana Samanala Gala.

This a short account of highest mountain and waterfalls of Colombo district.

First I need to explain about a mistake that someone created in Google maps. In google maps Kotagaga fall chain named as “Garandi Falls”.

බුලතා යනු යෝධයකු බව ලංකාවාසී බොහෝ දෙනෙක් දකිති. එදවස විසු රජතුමන්ගේ අවධානය ගනු වස් මෙලෙස විශාල ප්‍රදේශයක් කළු ගලින් වට කොට වැවක් තැනූ අතර එය අද අප හඳුන්වන්නේ සොරබොර වැව නමිනි.

දුමෙන් බර මිටියාවත නොහොත් දුම්බර මිටියාවත ලෙස නම් කළ හෙක්ටයාර 22,000 ක පමණ භූමි වපසරියකින් යුත් නකල්ස් වනපෙත ලංකාවේ අතිශය වැදගත් රක්ෂිත වන පියසකි.
