Few days back to be specific on 21st of April 2019 disaster struck and the whole country was in distress, so to get away from all the hate, anger and grievance we decided to hike a small mountain.

We came to the village by 7am and it was very difficult to take a Leyland 54 seater bus to Narangamuwa. However our bus uncle was able to get it in front of the Narangamuwa Temple. Unfortunately the school’s roof was damaged on that time due to the heavy wind over there. We were also feel it on the ground too. They was arranged a small meeting with the participating of all the parents and villagers. So they talked about their matters and we told that how we collect these items and the benefit which we expect from these students. After that we delivered the items to the principal. Kind villagers were arranged a small traditional breakfast for all of us. This was really an unexpected treat for us. However we all ate and after that we moved to our Lakegala hike.

Sri Pada season begins with a procession to carry Sadhathuka Karanduwa, idol of God Saman and jewelries from Pelmadulla to Sri Pada Maluwa. After six months these sacred items are carried back to Pelmadulla by procession. This is my experience of last day at Sri Pada.

This is a short account of cascades situated in A26 road between Theldeniya and Ududumbara.

Lunubissa / Lunugala and DS rock are two mountains come across on your way to famous Cocogalla Mini World’s End. We have hiked both these mountains with camping at Cocogalla MWE.

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

Kithulgala is a popular travel destination situated at Colombo-Hatton road. It is famous among genera public as people come here for a bath at rapid Kelani River. And it is the only place in Sri Lanka where white water rafting is practiced.
Apart from all these Kithulgala has another value due to some waterfalls situated around. This is my attempt to cover waterfalls and some common travel destinations around Kithulgala.

Kallebokka is a estate in Panwila – kabaragala road next to Madulkele, Central Province, Sri Lanka. It is located at an elevation of 1175 meters above sea level. The 360 View point located at the highest peak in the division/estate is the attractive place where most of the locals visit to view the surrounding beauties. We can see knuckles range with it’s highest peaks and the famous Sembuwatta Lake also can be seen. A ticket of 100/- is issued at the entrance passing the village.The road uphill is tough and all vehicles cannot be driven to the top. Bikes and 4 wheel drivers are recommended. You will never regret after reaching the top.

This is one of my long waited hike. People hike the all these peaks as separate hikes. I thought of doing it differently. I wanted to do the peaks of kalupahana area and Adarakanda range as one hike. As usual another 7 members of my team also joined for this hike. initially we prepared with a proper plan with time schedules and travel plan.

Rathna Ella is one of beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka, situated at Rathna Ella village-Hasalaka. It has 111m height and governs for 9th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. Hasalaka Oya which starts from Knuckles range creates this majestic falls. Usual way to visit Rathna Ella is coming from Hasalaka and walking along the canal road to the base of the falls. This is our adventourous journey to Rathna Ella from velangolla Pathana.
