On the 23rd of July, Poya day suddenly I thought to have a visit in few archaeological sites in Gampaha district which are not yet to be covered by my selfy. Hence I talked to Achintha and he agreed to meet at 3.00 pm at Yakkala junction. So, I had a route plan and we met at Yakkala and one by one visited the below places. There was a little shower at 5.00 pm when we were at Pettagamgala Kanda and able to stay few minutes over there and continue our pilgrimage tour after the rain.

This was an unforgettable trip had by the three of us. This took 3 days and covered 4 provinces as we have started our journey from Kadiyanlena falls and end up with Duwili Falls at Neluwa. This is one of our favorite trips as we were able to cover many waterfalls and places. Especially apart from this tour I couldn’t able to roam around Rakwana or Deniyaya areas.

Nuwaraeliya is my favorite city in Sri Lanka and I visited there more than 20 times in my life. Out of them, 18 visits are due to my adventure travel purposes. Gregory park is one of the interesting destinations at Nuwaraeliya where we spent few hours resting during our journies. I spent about 8 nights at hotels and our friend madusanka’s home and had 3 camping nights at Nuwaraeliya city premises. Currently, I have covered almost all the attractions in the Nuwaraeliya city area.

Yasmin and Estife were some of my friends and they requested me to take them on a day trip where there is a dangerous bathing place and they wanted to swim over there and check the reality of it. So, I thought about Mannakathi falls which is suitable for a day trip and where it has a larger natural pool which is known as dangerous to swim as some villagers told me that the depth of it is about 50 feet in the center.

I had an opportunity to spent 3 days at Ampara since AAT Sri Lanka opens their 7th branch at Ampara. Since I’m the route planner and mapper I suggest leaving from Ampara to Kandy after the branch opening since I wanted to have a different road to reach Kandy. However, we left Ampara around 12 noon and had a bath at Ampara tank, and spent around half an hour over there.

2021 is an amazing year that I was able to pilgrimage 3 times of Sripada. It was due to the renovation of the Andiyamalathanna Toilet complex. However each time I witnessed different nature, weather, and surroundings. Also, I was lucky to see the Colombo in the morning and in the night at Andiyamalathanna Ambalama. Actually, we identified plenty of mountains and areas and noted everything as to share in our Facebook Group.
