සමනල රක්ෂිතය යනු පූජනීය ස්ථානයක් බඳුය. උතුම් බුදු සිරි පතුල පිහිටි සමනොළගිර වන්දනාමාන කිරීමට උචිත උඳුවප් පොහොය සිට වෙසක් පොහොය දක්වා කාලය වාරය (Season) ලෙස හඳුන්වන අතර එය දළ වශයෙන් මාස පහකි. ඉතිරි මාස 7 අවාරය (Off-Season) ලෙස හඳුන්වන අතර ඈත අතීතයේ පටන් පැමිණි සම්ප්‍රදාය වනුයේ එයයි. එය හුදෙක් ආගමක් සම්බන්ධ වූ නියමයක් නොවන්නේ ඒ තුළ පරිසරයේ නියමයන් අන්තර්ගත වී ඇති හෙයිනි.

බුලතා යනු යෝධයකු බව ලංකාවාසී බොහෝ දෙනෙක් දකිති. එදවස විසු රජතුමන්ගේ අවධානය ගනු වස් මෙලෙස විශාල ප්‍රදේශයක් කළු ගලින් වට කොට වැවක් තැනූ අතර එය අද අප හඳුන්වන්නේ සොරබොර වැව නමිනි.

Kaluthara District is blessed with number of beautiful tiny waterfalls. This is my second experience of cascades of Kaluthara and surrounding Buddhist Hermitages.

Sheer drop of eastern edge of central hills-Lunugala (2465feet) creates this beautiful place.It is situated at Roeberry tea estate and descent is about 1250feet. The most immediate village at the base of this drop is called Dorabada; therefore people call it “Dorabada Pathalaya” (දොරබොද පාතාලය) as well.
In a clear day you can watch landmarks till eastern shore and peaks at knuckles range even. The margin between Badulla and Moneragala district also goes along the world’s end.
