In 2017 I went passing Dambulla many times and on all of those occasions I was wondering if I could get a birds eye view of Dambulla from Dambulla rock.

It was a gloomy day but we wanted to go somewhere and decided to head towards Polgahawela and climb the highest peak of the region which was Yogamukanda.

First I visit to “Kadiragala Raja Maha Viharaya”. This temple built by “King Walagamba”. Ancient stupaya situated on the rock. From there you can get the nice view of surrounding area. I spent nearly one hour there & came back to Wariyapola town. From there I went to “Kebella Len Raja Maha Viharaya”. This temple also built by “King Walagamba” & situated on the rock.
Climbing was very difficult due to very hot weather.

In 2012 while we were exploring Rajagala we noted a prominent hill which locals called Balagala / Walimbe and after few map reading sessions we got to know that this was called Walimbe hela / Friars hood (because of the look of a hat of a priest). I was determined to conquer it and in 2014 I actually attempted it while I was turned back by a false 119 complain.

Ambagolla Mountain (801m) is the other end of Galpadihela range and situated closer to historical Galpadipela. It provides a nice view towards surrounding. This is my journey to Ambagolla peak in a windy day.

Lenadora-ලෙනදොර (480m) is a small pointed rock situated at base of Manikdena (මැණික්දෙන) Mountain. This is our half a day journey to Lenadora.

Kadigala (650m) is an isolated peak situated between Naula and Galewela. It’s sharpen face attracts travelers to visit there

Same as last year we arrange donate school items for rural school. This time we selected Batuhena Primary School in Elehera Bakamuna area for our donation. 81 children & 6 teachers in that school.

Ella (ඇල්ල) is one of the best tourist destinations of Sri Lanka. It is attracted by more foreigners than local travelers.Therefore it has been developed as a tourist city where number of hotels, restaurant are situated. This is a short account of tourists attractions around Ella.

Makulussa (916m) is a mountain range situated at Matale-Kurunegala border, surrounded by famous taller peaks of Matale- Wilshire, Etipola and Ambokka.

We still in Mahiyanganaya & first we went to “Mahiyangana Raja Maha Viharaya”. After that we went to Sora Bora Wewa.

New day started & we planned to go Mahiyangana side.We left from Bibile to Mahiyanganaya around 7.30 a.m & on that way we went see “Kotasara Piyangala Viharaya”.
