Re-visited Adisham and Nine arch Bridge

Adisham Hall, or Adisham Bungalow is a country house near Haputale, in the Badulla District, Sri Lanka. At present it houses the Adisham Monastery a congregation of St. Sylvester.

The house was built in 1931 by an English aristocrat and planter Sir Thomas Villiers, former Chairman of George Steuart Co, a trading and estate agency based in Colombo. Sir Thomas was a grandson of Lord John Russell and descendant of the Dukes of Bedford. It was designed by R. Booth and F. Webster in Tudor and Jacobean style, on 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. Adisham Hall played host to many prominent personalities of the colony until the retirement of Sir Thomas, after which it was sold to Sedawatte Mills. In 1961 it was purchased by the Roman Catholic Church and was subsequently converted to a monastery. The house is well preserved along with its period fittings and furniture, and is open to visitors.

Roaming at Bambarakiri and Sera Falls

This beautiful Sera Ella fall, the subject of several poems, is situated in the Dumbara Jungle that is split into two sections, both 10m in height. Kitul Canal, from the Kaudagammana Mountain, and the Hunumadala River, from the Gonamada and Deyuthu Gammmaduwa mountains, flow in unison to form the Puwakpitiya River. This later joins Thelegam River, at which point the fall is created as the water tumbles down a protruding rock face, visible from Dumbara Jungle

Roaming in Athwelthota for Waterfalls

Kalutara district is a beautiful area where we could found lot of waterfalls. There are many waterfalls located in Athweltota and Baduraliya area which are much famous among the villagers as well as the local tourists. On this day we went to find some waterfalls located in Athwelthota area. Athwelthota is a beautiful village where I have very old memories over there. Also, we were in this area to find some other waterfalls in Morawaka.

Day visit to Wewelthalawa Highland

Wewelthalawa is a beautiful plateau located near Kithulgala and Yatiyantota. It is also near to the famous Olu Fall and Wawulagala on Sea forth – Amanawela road. We should take the prior permission to visit Wewelthalawa as it is a privately owned estate.

Waterfalls, on the way to Belihuloya to Bandarawela

This was located at the Badulla- Ratnapura main road. It is about 100 hike from the main road to the base of the waterfall.  The 6m-high Brampton Falls is set amongst tropical jungle and flows to the Walawe River. It derives its water from the eastern slopes of the Papulugala Mountain (1530m). It is situated 10km from Belihuloya, near the Brampton Tea Estate (at the 106th-mile post).

Nayabedda/ St. Catherines 2 Mountain Hike (1943m)

Nayabedda Mountain is on our list for a long time as we have seen it on our Wangedigala hike. This mountain is marked in Metric Map as “St. Catherines 2” and the 1 should be St. Catherine’s Seat which is also marked in the Metric Map without the word “Seat”. When I explore this location in Metric map I realized the name given in here and the name we currently use. Actually we are using the estate name for this mountain. But the real name is “St. Catherines 2”.

Selagama Mini World’s End (Hulangala)

Selagama mini world’s end is a beautiful destination in the border of Kurunegala and Matale districts. And this is an end of the famous mountain range called Ambokka. There are so many little mountains and ancient temples around this area and we planned this tour along with another hike at Kurunegala.
