Scenic Drive at Southern Province | |
We had a relaxing drive to the southern province as we received an invitation from our friend to visit his village as well as we need to have a drive to Matara via the Southern Expressway. Since my other members didn’t see Andahelena Fall I marked it at the first thing on our trip. I visited Andahelena Falls in May, 2013 while on a Funeral of an office mate’s cousin. However, we were able to visit Madol Duwa, Martin Wickremasinghe House, and the Museum and finally stopped at Dondra Light House which is closed to that friend’s home. |
The last visit for few Sacred sites in Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa | |
I have visited Anuradhapura sacred sites for about 5 times before and this was my last visit which is done in 2018 with friends. Captured some beautiful sceneries and this was a day trip as we visited another important place for our team. |

Randenigala Mountain Range via Padupola Plains – 1120m | |
Randenigala mountain range is a unique and lesser-visited area due to the massive risk of wild elephants. Because all the drivers can see elephants at Raja Mawatha which go through the VRR forest reserve where no other residences or even a single resting place on that road. We had this experience along with our Hegasulla Hike done on the same day morning. After we came to the top of Hegasulla Mountain we decided to descend to the Randenigala range and climb up all three main peaks of the range. It was a very hard hike as we were lack of water. Our water reserve was finished at Hegasulla and however, we started our trek to Randenigala range with a hope that we will meet up a stream. It was not difficult as we had to walk through Maana bushes and at some point it was difficult on climbing as falling of rocks and slippering. |
Roaming around Thummodara | |
We have visited some waterfalls at Avissawella in February 2018 but we didn’t have time to visit two more falls and the Seethawaka garden. Hence I and Nirosh planned this day trip to cover those places and it was successful since we had enough time to see them. |
Tour to Richmond Castle and Thudugala Ella | |
We had a one day tour to see the Richmond Castle and then Thudugala fall which was famous at that time. Richmond castle is an amazing place with beautiful architecture. It is also close to the Kalu river and it owns a huge land area as this was the remains of a Sri Lankan history. After we spend 2-3 hours over there, we left for Thudugala fall and it is not so far from this destination. We reached Thudugala Ella within an hour and spent a few hours and finally had a bath and left in the evening. |
An Evening at Mount Lavinia Beach | |
Mount Lavinia Beach in Sri Lanka is a main sea-bathing spot in the island. Here, depending on season, the waves can be swimmable and it’s host to some amazing sunsets. It also recides in a city steeped with history. The city’s name is built up around the original residence of Sir Thomas Maitland who was the Governor General of Ceylon from 1805-1811. At a welcoming party held in his honor on his arrival in the island he set his eyes upon Lovina, a local mestizo dancer, whose father was the Headman of the troupe. It is said that Sir Thomas was smitten by her beautiful smile and charms and soon found himself obsessed by her and took every measure possible to see her more. |
Visit to Galle Fort | |
Galle Fort (Sinhala: ගාලු කොටුව Galu Kotuwa; Tamil: காலிக் கோட்டை, romanized: Kālik Kōṭṭai), in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 432 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka. |
