Association of Accounting Technicians of Sri Lanka (AAT Sri Lanka) while being engaged in taking accounting education to grass root levels of the country, experienced a pleasant surprise in extending its humane hands to a worthy cause under the auspices of its first CSR project on the theme “AAT Samaja Mehewara (Social Mission)” through the intervention of social media. It happened as a result of responses by a Facebook group in reply to a suggestion published by the AAT Sri Lanka official Facebook page offering support to rural schools.

Again here , it is me with another trip report . In this story again Aluva (Aluvihare) , my friend plays the major role. Aluva and me always needed to hike Thunhisgala down since we covered beautiful Kotaganga Cascades and Alugal-Lena during our last visit to knuckles mountain range.

When I searching for the mountains above 2000m I found this beauty around Chariot Path which is nearly height for more than 2100m. After postponing for about 3-4 times I got prepared this hike with my brother in law and Sajith. We left from Ja-Ela at 12 midnight and met Sajith at Yakkala about 12.30 am and we left to Pussellawa. We came to Pussellawa around 4 am and slept for 1 hour until the sunshine. It was nearly a 2 hr sleep and we started our journey to Perattasi through that gravel road and we took about 2 hr to reach Perattasi old hospital.

There are many mountains situated around the Kurunegala – Dambulla main road and I’m still unable to climb most of them due to the lack of free time and availability. However, I had to visit one of my office friend’s function and I wanted to go there on my motorbike. Since I had enough time to explore the beauties around the road I used that time to explore some mountains over the route and I visited those areas to grab details for future hikes with my friends.

Roaming around Ingiriya after monsoon rain was a fruitful journey as I was able to find number of cascades. This a summary of waterfalls situated around Ingiriya.

හොරණ නගරයට ඉහළින් පවතින ඇල්ලේ කන්ද ගැන බොහෝ දෙනෙක් දනී. නමුත් එහි ඇති වටිනාකම් ගැන බොහෝ දනා නොදනී. අප අදටත් ඇල්ලේ කන්දේ සැගවී ඇති හිරඤ්ඤමළය සොයා යමු. රයිගම් කෝරළයට අයත් භූමිය කඩවත් පොතට අනුව අතීතයේ බෙදී පැවතියේ හිරඤ්ඤමළයට සහ පානබුන්න දනව්වටය. මහා පරාක්රුමබාහු රජ සමයේ එතුමාගේ නිලධාරියෙකු වන අලකේෂ්වරාභිදාන අලගක්නෝණාර නම් ඇමතියෙකු විසින් මෙම සම්පූර්ණ හිරඤ්ඤමළයත්, පානබුන්න දනව්වේ කොටසකුත් එක්කර රයිගම් රාජධානියට පදනම දැමීය.

Nuwera Eliya has number of places to visit though many visitors go to common places. This is another set of places around Nuwera Eliya.

මේ වන විට මුහුණුපොත තුළ ප්‍රබල වශයෙන් ජනප්‍රිය ස්ථානයක් බවට පත්ව ඇති සංචාරක ඉසව්වක් වන බලංගොඩ හුණුගල් පොකුණු පද්ධතිය සොයා පසුගිය දිනක අප ගොඩවැදුණේ හුණුගල් සහ හිරිලඹ පිළිබඳ එම ප්‍රදේශයෙන් තවත් විස්තර සොයාගනු පිණිසය. තවද පාරිසරික වැදගත්කමින් යුතු මෙවැනි ඉසව් නිසි වැඩපිළිවෙළක් යටතේ උචිත ලෙස සමාජගතවීමේ අවශ්‍යතාව වගේම මෙවැනි සුන්දර ඉසව් සංචාරක සන්ධිස්ථාන වශයෙන් නියාමනයන් තුළ පවත්වාගෙන යාමේ වැදගත්කම පිළිබඳවද අපි වැඩිදුරටත් සොයා බැලුවෙමු. 

This is a waterfall where we need to have a hard hike throughout the day. Even though you come from the usual Nagrak roadside it is more difficult for you to reach up to the turning bend near to the Nagrak Bungalow. Ihala Galagama/ Landuyaya road is the road to Hawagala Mountain.

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.

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.

Pallan Hela(1068ft) and Inginiyagala (1035ft) are two rocks situated closer to Senanayaka Samudraya at Ampara. This is our camping trip to Pallan Hela and day visit to Inginiyagala.
