For the True Love for the Nature – Namunukula
This is not a trip I went, but two separate groups known to me. They came back with some eye opening photographs after setting an example to the “So called hikers, adventurers and fake nature lovers”.
It is very disheartening to see that once a place of interest is brought out to the attention of the public, everyone start flocking to those places in hundreds and destroy the natural beauty and threaten its existence by littering all over it.
Since these two friends of mine do not write on lakdasun, I’m publishing their experience with their approval. The Small notes below are their own words.
Note by Amila De Silva
It’s obvious that we can’t make everyone thinks alike. That’s why litter has been thrown away here and there.
During our trail, we cleaned up at our best. But we couldn’t complete it.
I’m pretty sure , today, Cami Anna’s team will continue the task and set an example to all other nature lovers and visitors.
Blessings to have an exciting, adventurous and safe journey leading to be the change !!!!!!
Note by Caminus Thomaspillai
Namunukula..
One exhilarating ascend ..
The stunning summit and the spellbinding views right around..
But think twice.. Before you walk around care free.. Summit is just strewn with shatteted bottles and soon will be a sore point and stinking garbage dump..
The campers or day trippers whoever it may be please take your garbage where it belongs ~your homes ~
Thank you Amila de Silva for cleaning up as much as you can and alerting us ,, remainder of the plastic waste was collected and carried down, to be disposed by the team, sadly we were unable to carry down the shattered glass bottles cause we did not have a suitable bag for same … Let’s keep Namunukula pristine..
Hats off to Amila, Cami and their friends for their great endeavour. With true nature lovers like you, we still have a hope about the future of our country and mother nature…
This message goes out to everyone who read Lakdasun and seek information here. Please do not just go on fun trips to places like this. Nature is not for your fun. It is far more precious and sacred. We have a sacred obligation for safeguarding the mother nature. If you feel like going to places of natural beauty, PLEASE do not destroy it. Do not let your friends destroy it. Bring back every single piece of garbage. Do not leave behind at least a smallest toffee wrapper. When you are giving information to your friends, if you feel like they will not behave responsibly, discourage them and prevent them from visiting those places.
We should stop this madness. We must protect our nature for the future generations… please spread the word and create awareness…
thank you.
