In 2013 we got together and did the Dehena kanda trail to Siripade. And on our way we came across a location called Paradise which is seethagangula of Dehenakanda trail. The river which we crossed was Battulu oya which flows by Fishing hut of Moray estate before ending its journey at Maussakele reservoir.

Belihuloya and Non Perial estate is rewarded by number of waterfall. They got water from streams started from Hortain plains. Galagama Falls is the queen of these and she is a hidden gem from public.

Sembuwaththa lake and Hunnas falls are popular places for a day visit. This is close to Elakaduwa a small town in the Matale District where the famous Hunnas falls Hotel located.

We all gathered at Peradeniya and started our trip with 5 Motor bikes. We had our breakfast at Madawala and reached Panwila around 8:30 am. After passing the Panwila Filling station there is a road to left with the name boards which is the road to go to Hunnasgiriya mountain range.

The Chariot path trail starts at ‘Frotoft’ also called as ‘Perattasi’ a small village is located 10-12 km from Pussellawa town.

This year appears to be different because it seems like I have found my long lost passion on waterfalls. After my first visit to Bambaragan oya and Ellagala, I decided to do another similar hike which was in my to-do list for many years. This time it was a cascade of waterfalls called Gerandi ella (not the one at Tawalamtenna). Two years back while browsing on FB I noted an album on these waterfalls posted by Dr Sudesh Chulani and since that day I did want to repeat the same feet he achieved.

Alagalla is a popular peak among travellers due to it’s easily accessibility. This is my second visit to Alagalla.

We started form my home around 8 am. Reached Wattegama around ½ Hr time. Up to Alkaduwa Junction you have well carpet road from there not carpeted but no problem for drive.

Almost one year back I did reach Nagrak to visit Galagama falls and while we were at Nagrak I did note a peak protruding out parallel to Gommolli range and Havagala range. This seemed to be an ideal place to leisurely hang around and this December while we were itching without doing any hikes we thought of giving it a try to stretch out our muscles. As usual early as possible we left and reached Belihul oya at around 7am.

We have reached Nanu Oya (නානු ඔය) railway station in early morning by night mail from Colombo and waited till dawn comes. Glassaugh Falls were seen in distance and we started to walk towards Radella (රදැල්ල) station. (Same direction we came)
According to Sri’s report there is a significant cascade down the bridge closer to Nanu Oya railway station. We attempted to reach the base of the falls just before the railway bridge and it was failed.

Waterfall abseiling is not very much popular adventure in Sri Lanka as its cost is high. This is good and the best activity to develop the self-confidence.

Once we came to the facilitator we all went to the Handun fall at Kithulgala/ Belilena. Handun fall is about 60m high. It is the best fall to have this experience.
