So I have been very busy for a while but yet found some time for traveling. Only thing is i didn’t have anytime to do a write up. So this would be a short write up on two locations i visited last December.
As usual it was a 3 person family trip with some mountain climbing. We left Chilaw early and reached Galaha in the afternoon where we took the Pupuressa road. After traveling 3km’s on the B125 we reached National Bikkhu center for health care (a.k.a as Bhadravathi temple). There was a well paved foot path to the top of the Wehera kanda where one could enjoy a 360 view of Galaha – Delthota areas. on the summit there is a newly built temple and we spend more than 30 minutes on the top before we descended and reached our accommodation at Galaha.

Next day we headed back to Galaha and took the Morogolla road to reach Belwood. Before reaching Morogolla we took the right hand road towards Piyasara Budhdhist monastery. From there on wards we continued until we reached the magical location of Muthukelina wewa. If you are equipped with a 4wd you could get to the observation point with your vehicle . Otherwise its a 5 minute climb from the lake. the road condition was bad so better to have a good ground clearance vehicle. one could have a splendid view towards Victoria reservoir, Thalatuoya region & Knuckles range from this magical location. Seems to be quite popular among locals because there were evidence of camping and littering. After enjoying the panoramic view we headed back home leisurely.
