තුන්හිස්ගල (Kalupahana 1627m) hike of the year

Every year there is something on top of my to-do list and this year also was no exception. It was something mysterious and well researched by me. Been a very dry year I decided to ride my luck. Thunhisgala / Kalupahana is one of the center most peaks of Knuckles conservation area providing the best view of the forest reserve. My attempts on searching for a guide was the most troublesome thing and hearing that the path to KMP wadiya was overgrown brought up some concerns.

RANA SINGHE IN SINHA RAJA

Most of the Sri Lankan’s are connected to the names derived from “Sinha” The race Sinhalies, Areas like Bulathsinhala etc . Surnames such as Jayasinha, Ranasinghe 🙂 etc and of course we have a forest called by that name. “SINHARAJA” origin of this sinha term is not from the carnivorous animal “Lion “or lion centered fictions concluding half humans. Those were myths put in to our minds forcefully. It’s truly because of the four superior races who lived in sri lanka commonly known as SIV HELA who gave birth to one nation .Those were called Yakkaha, Naga, Deva & Gandharwa.

Solo Camping on Adara Kanda

Going Camping alone is a one of the best experience you can get. This idea came to my mind on the beginning of this year. So I planned to go Balathoduwa & Gommoli kanda via Adara kanda. Then I asked from Ashan, Niroshan and Amran is it ok to go there alone. They all said it is bad idea go alone. So I changed plan and decide stop at 1st view point of adara kanda. Because I just wanted have Solo camping experience.

Cascade fiesta at Kandapola forest reserve on Valentine’s day

All this year I have been following streams and hunting cascades and there was one major pending to do adventure! As always I needed a motivation and Nalinda and the gang provided me with it.
