Govinda Hela and Degal Hela / Diggalahela are two gigantic rocks situated at side of A 25 road closer to Siyambalanduwa. This is my hiking notes on those two rocks.

The long range of Gedaragalapathana was in my to do list. We have hiked to the highest point of the range, locals named as Walgamwewa Kanda(890m)

It was different two days of my travelling beyond adventures and exertion.

Selva Kanda (සෙල්වා කන්ද)-1618m and Rilagala (රිලාගල) are two peaks marked in metric map of Knuckles forest reserve. This is our one day journey to Selva Kanda.

What I found in my camping journeys’ wonderful is digging around the knuckles. It was two times I was in the range and I found a guy who explored knuckles about 11 times.

Two days trekking started from Bambarella and ended at Meemure. We have passed KMP wadiya, Rahana Ketu Pathana and Wamarapugala during the journey.

Ethbadda (470m) and Nuwaragala (380m) are giants of Nuwaragala forest reserve. Unfinished castle of King Saddathissa was situated on top of Nuwaragala while his elephant kraal was placed at Ethbadda. This is our camping trip to Ethbadda.

This is two days waterfall hunting at Nawalapitiya and Ginigathhena areas.

This journey for a change was an idea of Irantha. He persuaded us to join us in a venture to explore the unexplored and the eager to explore the unexplored was enough of a reason for us to join in.

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.

Bomburu Ella is considered as one of widest waterfalls in Sri Lanka. Bomburu Ella Oya / Duulgolla Oya forms Bomburu Ella. But there are eight cascades formed by this water stream above Bomburu Ella , called upper Bomburu cascades.

Knuckles Sphinx-2 is situated closer to Corbett’s gap. Conquering Sphinx-2 is a difficult task and I was able to hike it in my 4th attempt.
