Kalpitiya Bound (Camping on Kalpitiya/Kudawa beach)

We were enjoying hiking and trekking since 2011 after we entered the University of Colombo. This time we wanted to end the year (2016) with a novel experience. So we decided to camp on a beach and selected the amazing Kalpitiya (Kudawa) beach to fulfill our dream.

Galpadihela Mountain (1106m) and Galpadipela

Galpadihela/ Kosgolla (1105m) mountain is situated closer to Mahiyanganaya. Ancient foot pathway from Ududumbara to Mahiyanganaya was at the base of this mountain. The lake Sora Bora Wewa was built by the giant called Bulatha and his wife has kept about 2000 stone steps along this foot pathway to make “Galpadipela”.

3 Days Trip to Donate Books to Dambarella Village Library & visit Nearby Important Places

We received a request from rural village in Angunukolapelessa area. They request books for their village library. We started collecting books from friends & relatives from last September.

Thunhisgala/Kalupahana (1627m) Hike

Thunhisgala (1627m)/Kalupahana is a prominent peak of Kncukles massif sitauted at center of Knuckles forest reserve. This was my back to back journey to Kalupahana within two weeks after attempted hike to Thunhisgala but ended up it’s side peak.

Missed target at Knuckles Kalupahana-Thunhisgala (1627m)

Thunhisgala/ Kalupahana is a prominent peak of Knuckles massif with 1627m height. It is situated at center of Knuckles area-Kalupahana which was covered with Cardamom estates 30 years ago. The reason for the name Thunhisgala is due to three peaks in climbing. (Thun+His+Gala) (තුන්+හිස්+ගල). Alternative meaning is three ridges meet together to form the mountain.

Safari & Camping @ Yala

Initially there were 5 members (3 of my old school mates, me and my better half) for the trip. We wanted to be little adventures and the destination chosen was Yala Nationala Park.

Dunumandalawa Forest Reserve – Kandy

This is a less known forest reserve within less than 2km from the Kandy City and is the only forest reserve in Sri Lanka maintained by a Municipal Council (MC of Kandy).

Udawatta Kele – Royal Forest Park of Kandy

Kandy is considered as one of the main and historically important cities in Sri Lanka. In 1371 King Wickramabahu established his kingdom and named this city as `Senkadagala’ in remembrance of the Brahmin called Senkanda’ who lived in a rock cave in Udawattekele forest. Thereafter all the kings who ruled took appropriate measures to conserve `Udawatte-kele: forest and regarded it as a part of the Royal Palace.

Kadiragala | කදිරාගල

I had never heard about this place until I visit Werapola kanda which is situated in between Wariyapola & Kurunegala. On the way towards Nathagane Mountain in August 2016, Ashan & I saw Werapola Mountain, then paid attention to that as a warm up hike & when on the top of Werapola we noticed a small peak with a pagoda on the top of it in Wariyapola side, from then both of us keen to know about this small peak.

Ampara & Trincomalee in five days

It was December holidays again we decided to have a family trip and we opted to cover part of the East this time. On a Friday I made some calls to two friends at Ampara and Trinco and got 2 hotels booked. This was intended to be a road trip with time to rest in between.

Somawathiya Temple and ruins around/ සෝමාවතියේ සැගවුණූ නටබුන් සොයා…

Somawathiya temple (Somawathi Chethiya) is one of the popular places among Buddhist devotees. The right sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha was kept at Somawathi stupa. It is said there are seven acessory stupa around Somawathi temple. This is our attempt to visit one of them.

Counting railway sleepers at Elephant Kingdom

Sri Lankan rail tracks run in different environmental locations of the country where you can have different experiences with rail walk. Rail hike along central part gives maximum beauty of the country and costal rail walk is totally different from it. We thought of doing a rail walk in dry zone mainly rail tracks runs through forests.
