Hawarimana is a peak situated at Upper border of Knuckles massif. It is bordered by Karagahathenna, Gammaduwa, Sandamadala, Karagahathenna Mini World’s end and Hinguruwatta Mountain. Hawarimana has unusual appearance. It has two peaks with saddle like a gap.

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.

A Gloomy period but I wanted to get away and Keshan also wanted to go somewhere. I suggested a rocky mountain which is clearly seen to the A10 road close to Weuda which I have noted on many instances. Though we could have climbedup from Waraddana side we thought of climbing up from an easier side.

Last May when we did Duwili ella trail from Etanwala we met few of our friends who decided to get down from Ranamure side and they sent me the Kmz for my future references.

We start our journey from Mawanella around 8.00 a.m. Our aim was visit important places as much we can during the day. Because now we came to last part of our journey.

We start our journey from Matale & our next destination was Kandy. On that way we went to see “Hakkinda” area. After having some time there we went to Kandy.

We start our journey from Sigiriya & our next destination was Matale. On that way we went to see “Nalanda Gedige” & Matale “Alu Viharaya”

We left from Anuradhapura around 8.00 a.m & reached to Jathika Namal Uyana around 9.00 a.m. We spent couple of hours there & came back to entrance around 11.30 a.m. From there we went to Ibbankatuwa Wewa. We had good bath there & we left to see Ibbankatuwa Megalith Cemetery. Now this place developed & maintain nicely.

We arrived to Anuradhapura around 4.00 p.m on 16th evening. First we had little rest & then we visit to “Mirisawetiya Viharaya”. Next we went to “Isrumuniya Viharaya” & “Ran Masu Uyana”.

On 15th morning we left from Kalankuttiya & first we visit Awkana Viharaya. After that we had little rest at “Kala Wewa”. After visiting “Vijithapura Viharaya” we came to Galkulama via Maradankadawala.

Again long awaited August vacation came. We decided to arrange a tour like last year we do.

This is a memorable trekking from Theripaha village to Mahaweli Raja Mawatha via Padupola plain.
