Mirijjawila Botanical Garden is one of the five botanical gardens in Sri Lanka. The other botanical gardens are Peradeniya Botanical Garden, Hakgala Botanical Garden, Henarathgoda Botanical Garden, and Seetawaka Botanical Garden.

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. 

Wadinagala (732m) one of a fascinating peak situated at Gal Oya forest. This is our camping trip to Wadinagala.

Horton Plains is my favourite destination in Sri Lanka. I have visited here in 2002 with my family and after that, I came here with Akila in 2011 and had unforgettable experiences as I have fallen from the bike at the top of the area which about 2100m above. After that I have visited here to climb several mountains with Sobasiri crew and another visit with my wife as she has not visited here at that time.

In 2013 I did a mega tour around Maha oya – Padiyathalawa region and then only I noticed this beauty and immediately fell in love with it. I planned to conquer the mountain with the help of army officers at Maduru oya camp but it was hampered by the DWC officials.

Sudu Kanda at Girithale is a long range of mountain spreads over three national parks. This is just a pinch of Sudu Kanda.

In 2013 for the first time I visited Maduru oya park I was lucky to visit Henannegala cave temple and I was fascinated with its appearance. I wondered if I could climb it but there were few restrictions like the archeology site been a part of the temple and the national park.

Kumana National Park is famous for bird watching but there are enough things to do. This is our two days story at Kumana around Kirigal Bay bungalow.

This was the first official trip I had after joining. This was to Habarana Village by Cinnamon for 3 days and we have enjoyed a lot and I and two of my friends had a small adventure on massive Habarana lake as it was fully dried. We walk around the lake and crossed it and again walked for nearly 2Km on the river to explore the atmosphere to get an understanding of the status of a dried lake.

This July (post COVID19 era) we went to Girithale and on our Girithale visit we got a chance to explore Angammedilla park which is not a popular tourist destination.

Kebiliththa / Maha Siyambalawa Dewalaya is one of the sacred place of Katharagama Dewiyo situated in Yala forest.
