Knuckles Kirigalpoththa (1647m) is another prominent peak in Knuckles range and well known for misty cap all over the year. This is our one day hike to this lesser known mountain in a clear day.

Pathangala (1515m) is the mountain situated next to famous Riverstone Peak. Hiking to Pathangala is a fight with Bamboos, but end result was beautiful view towards Knuckles massif.

Navanagala is a prominent peak of knuckles range and its identifiable from many destinations due to its unique shape. Protruding southwards from knuckles mountain belt this seems to be an ideal location for a surveyor and the carvings of the surveyors which were found on the summit justified it.

Rathnapura-Siripagama is the second popular trail among Sri Pada devotees. This about waterfalls come across at Rathnapura-Siripagama road.

Uma Oya is one of a main tributaries of the longest river of Sri Lanka-Mahaweli River (මහවැලි ගග). This is our journey along the last stretch of Uma oya to visit at Uma Oya Falls and Uma Oya Dunhinda falls.

We have noticed this mountain long time ago on our way to Knuckles peaks from Bambarella side and again we have noticed this on our way to Kotagaga falls from Rangala side.

Kamburagala (400m) is a funny shape rock situated in Maduru Oya NP. Kandegama / Dhanigala is situated closer to Maduru Oya reservoir became a popular travel destination in last two years.

Last year we build a “Kuti” in Kukulamalapotha area & donate to Monk. Last year “Was Period” he lived in there. Soon after “Was Period” he left the “Kutiya” & went to another remote area.

In 2014 when I hiked Gombaniya I did note this magnificent giant called Yakkunge hela and ever since that day I wanted to conquer it so It was pushed up the list on 2019 and It didnt fail my expectations.

As per my view Thangappuwa is the most beautiful village rather than Meemure. Because this innocent village still under traditional and village life style.

Once we are searching for a new destination we come across about the giant solider at Corbet’s Gap. The name of that giant is Dumbanagala (Dumen bara kanda).
