Hunting Waterfalls near Colombo within a day. [Algama and Uduwaka Falls]

Since my last hike in knuckles range , I was unable go anywhere else for three months. But I was searching a lot about nice places to visit. Due to the rainy season it was impossible to do a good hike.

Eye of the Mother Nature Nilvalagala Cave

Hike started from the back of the resort and we climbed the nearby small mountain through the rubber estate and reached to a summit and we could see up to the Colombo harbor over there. After that we walked along the rocky plain and met the mentioned water spring. It was covered by bricks and pipe lines attached to the nearby villages. After that we got down to another side and walked about 1 km through the dry forest. Again we reached to a rubber estate and met the stream which creates Algama waterfall. We walked 200 along the stream and stopped at Algama waterfall for a while.Again we walked to the left side rubber estate and reached to a Banana planting estate where the last house of this situated in Nilvalagala Mountain. Nilvalagala Mountain is about 150m height Mountain and we reached to the summit with in minutes. After that guide took us to the ridge of the mountain and we got down to the rocks by sitting on the rocky plain. And we reached to an open cave and walked 10m towards the opposite side where the dead end located.

Cave Exploration Continues – Pic Journey 3…

After our (Tony and Me) first run through the Siyane Korale, which was a grand tour, we decided to continue from where we stopped covering the remaining archaeologically important places in Gampaha District. 14 January looked like a perfect choice coz we both were free, unfortunately we missed Hari’s hike to the Sacred Sri Pada via scenic Maray Watta and Sandagala Thenna route as we both had to work the following day despite it being a Poya Day. This made Hari as mad as a lone Elephant in Maduru Oya.

We called it a day at Maligathenna the other day after a marathon run of exploration of Siyane Korale, Tony vowed to come back to do the rest of it and that’s exactly what we did at the end.
