Every year we donate school items for rural school. We search a suitable school for our donation for this year. We got contact number of “Grama sevaka” in Nildandahinna area.

We got information about requirements of medicine & some essential items for Monk live in “Kuti” in near Wakarusa village.

It had been 3 years  since I left Monaragala so I wanted to pay a visit to refresh my memories. On our way we decided to visit an unknown mini Worlds end close to Haputhale.

Anamaduwa is 1 hour way from my residence and it has been a routine area of interest for me. Though I had visited Paramakanda and few other places in the region I did want to expand the list of attractions.

I had already walked from Naththandiya to Puttalam along the railways and I wanted to extend the hike northwards till the last passenger station which was Periyanaga villu.

There is an interesting mountain range close to Miyallewa and Nawagaththegama which harbors few archaeological sites. We were focused on the highest point of the range and the historical Pichchandiyawa traditional medicine school was at its base.

It was a gloomy period and we wanted to go somewhere so we decided to head towards the dry zone. The mountain we wanted to climb was never seen before and was a totally new experience to us.

It was the last day of 2017 and we wanted to go somewhere. The dry zone mountains around Dambulla were in our priority list so we headed towards Dambulla and planned to hike Yakkuragala with the aid of maps.

A Gloomy period but I wanted to get away and Keshan also wanted to go somewhere. I suggested a rocky mountain which is clearly seen to the A10 road close to Weuda which I have noted on many instances. Though we could have climbedup from Waraddana side we thought of climbing up from an easier side.

Last May when we did Duwili ella trail from Etanwala we met few of our friends who decided to get down from Ranamure side and they sent me the Kmz for my future references.

We left from Anuradhapura around 8.00 a.m & reached to Jathika Namal Uyana around 9.00 a.m. We spent couple of hours there & came back to entrance around 11.30 a.m. From there we went to Ibbankatuwa Wewa. We had good bath there & we left to see Ibbankatuwa Megalith Cemetery. Now this place developed & maintain nicely.

We arrived to Anuradhapura around 4.00 p.m on 16th evening. First we had little rest & then we visit to “Mirisawetiya Viharaya”. Next we went to “Isrumuniya Viharaya” & “Ran Masu Uyana”.
