Maaragala / මාරගල (Alawwa) | |
Recently while I visited Potuhera to see a waterfall with Eshan we decided to climb an iconic rock at Alawwa. This Peculiar rock could be easily seen from Walakumbura of A6 highway. The first time I saw it was 3 years back while I was on Yogamuwakanda of Polgahawela. |

A quick hike to Dumbara Ella at Ingiriya | |
The area called Dumbara will come across after passing Ella Dewalaya (ඇල්ල ලග දේවාලය) following Ingiriya town in Panadura-Rathnapura road (A 8). You have to cross the bridge over Kalu Ganga at Elle Dewalaya and turn to right to go to Dumbara. This shady road and misty treetops give the feeling of Knuckles-Dumbara when you drive there. |
Wife’s first Pilgrimage of Sripada in the off-season | |
This is the first time that my wife visited peak wilderness for the pilgrimage of holy foot-print. We had this on a poya day as the Uda Maluwa is open on poya days. We headed to Hatton by night mail the previous day and we have arranged a van to pick up us from there and to Nallathanniya for Rs.3,500/-. We started our hike in the dawn and slowly we were able to reach the summit at 12 noon and fortunately, the Uda Maluwa was open for worship. |
Exploring the Labuheladola Waterfall chain and Gonamagulana Fall | |
Labuheladola Waterfall chain is a hidden waterfall in the area as there is a risky path but we were get notified of this from one of our contact at the Gawawragiriya. After that, he was able to give the exact details of the area and the path and advised us to be more careful as the path is too risky. |
A relaxed journey to Dumbara and Elle Kanda Fall | |
We had another day to enjoy by hunting a few hidden waterfalls in Horana and Ellagawa which were we noted during our previous journeys. We headed from Bandaragama and continue the first visit to Ella Kanda Ella/ Elle Kanda Fall/ Elle Kanda Ella which is near to the famous Ella Kanda Dewalaya. This was what we identified on our previous journey to Wanahami Cave complex. |

Beautiful Rumassala /රූමස්සල | |
Rumassala / Rumassala is a major tourist attraction in down south. This is kind of a superficial touch on this beautiful and historical place. |
