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.
This is my second visit of this mountain. It is one of my favorite hiking destination. I love this mountain. On 1st day I left home about 7.00 am and reached Pambahinna Junction around 8.00 am. Then I brought some stuffs nearby shop. I went to the trail head. To reach monastery I took around 30 minutes. Then I climbed the 1st part of the pine plot. I had a break at after the climb. Then start walk through flat area of the pine plot. The trail was covered by vegetation of the area. I’m in the middle of the wood all alone. I was freaking amazing strange feeling. 😀 I walked continuously. Then I saw some animal dung. It was look like fresh. I thought it was wild boar or leopard. I speed up my walk and walked fast I can and stopped at cleared area. Yeh yeh !! I know I freaked out. 😀 then I walked normally until the end of the pine plot. Then I had break. It was around 10.00 am. Then started climb ascend. Around 12 noon I reached to the 1st view point. I decided to pitch my tent on the first flat area of the view point. I pitch my tent facing to havagala. Then collected some firewood and did everything have to be done for spend night there. After having lunch I had nap and didn’t wait too long inside tent because of heat of sun. So I went to under tree and stayed until sunset.
