NWP has been giving us ample opportunities to experience the beauty of the dry zone and few giants were providing the foundation for our dreams.

Dehigahalanda (620m) can be considered as the eastern edge of Sabaragamuwa mountain range. This is belong to ” I saw, I conquered” type of mountains in my list.

We started build a “Kuti” in the forest near “Kukulamalapotha” village. This is one of remote villages near Ilukkumbura area. Earlier more than 50 families lived in this village , but now only 4 families live in this village. Due to many difficulties they left from this village. From village border we have to go nearly 2 km’s in the jungle to reach the “Lena”. This place situated in the middle of the hill & adjoining “Thelgamu Oya”.

We went our relative’s house in Mawanella area on month of May. We stay there 2 days of time. Dewanagala Viharaya situated near to our relatives house. Therefore we visit there on 6th morning. We spent few hours there & we came with happy memories.

Popularly known Saptha Kanya / Seven Virgins Hills is also called Uda Lakshapana Gala. Few years ago it’s was a hard hike now seems to be a less strenuous journey due to clear foot path.

කතා කරගත්ත විදියටම අපි හවස 6.45 ට කොලඹින් මහ ඔය හරහා අම්පාර බස් එකට නගින්න ගමනට කතා උන මම ( කාවින්ද ) ,රෝශන සහ චිරාන් මල්ලි ලෑස්ති උනා.උදේ එනකොටම ගෙනියන්න ඕන බඩු මුට්ටු ඔක්කොම බෑග් එකටත් දාගෙන මම ආව වගේම රෝශනත් ඒ විදියටම කරල තිබුන ගමනේ අනිත් සගය වෙච්ච ලක්මාල් මහියංගණයෙන් අපි එන බස් එකට නගින්න කතා වෙලා හිටපු නිසා එයත් බදුල්ලෙන් ටයිම් බලල මහියංගණය ට එන්න කතා උනා.

After visiting at Karagahathenna Mini World’s end, I was dreaming to camp there to enjoy the sunrise. This is our story about camping at Karagahathenna Mini World’s end and trekking to another beauty called Sera Ella.

Karagahathenna mini world’s end is a hidden paradise situated at the edge of an abounded tea estate. It provides a superb view towards North central province of Sri Lanka.

Hegasulla (1205m) is a pointed mountain situated in VRR (Victoria- Randenigala-Rantambe) reserve closer to Randenigala reservoir.People say the Lord Buddha has come to place his sacred foot print on top of this mountain but villagers at Theripaha were working at paddy fields on the poya day. Then he has changed his mind and placed the sacred foot print on Sri Pada.

Both of us badly needed to go on a road trip and due to the unfortunate situation around Central province we had to take a huge detour to reach our destinations.

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.
