Kurunegala District is blessed with number of small peaks. This is my experience about Nathagane, Kadiragala, Werapola and Gonagama Kanda.

This journey for a change was an idea of Irantha. He persuaded us to join us in a venture to explore the unexplored and the eager to explore the unexplored was enough of a reason for us to join in.

Sri Pada Battulu Oya waterfall trail is a different experience to worship sacred peak. We have come across 12+ waterfalls in this route.

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.

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.

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.

Uda Radella is a mountain situated at the west border of Nuwaraeliya. It’s located near Shanthipura and reaching to it was very easy. We noticed this mountain on our first visit to Great Western long time ago and then we saw the edge of this mountain near Nanuoya and Radalla.

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.

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.

Year 2018 is not for instantaneous trips but to cover up long awaited dream hikes. Mandaram Nuwara to Piduruthalagala was once a dream since 2009 and Malaka’s report played a major part in it.

Kabaragala is the highest peak of the Dolosbage range which has a height around 1500m. It has an almost flat terrain at the top similar to Horton Plains and there’s a huge drop similar to the World’s End as well.
