මේ වන විට මුහුණුපොත තුළ ප්‍රබල වශයෙන් ජනප්‍රිය ස්ථානයක් බවට පත්ව ඇති සංචාරක ඉසව්වක් වන බලංගොඩ හුණුගල් පොකුණු පද්ධතිය සොයා පසුගිය දිනක අප ගොඩවැදුණේ හුණුගල් සහ හිරිලඹ පිළිබඳ එම ප්‍රදේශයෙන් තවත් විස්තර සොයාගනු පිණිසය. තවද පාරිසරික වැදගත්කමින් යුතු මෙවැනි ඉසව් නිසි වැඩපිළිවෙළක් යටතේ උචිත ලෙස සමාජගතවීමේ අවශ්‍යතාව වගේම මෙවැනි සුන්දර ඉසව් සංචාරක සන්ධිස්ථාන වශයෙන් නියාමනයන් තුළ පවත්වාගෙන යාමේ වැදගත්කම පිළිබඳවද අපි වැඩිදුරටත් සොයා බැලුවෙමු. 

This is a waterfall where we need to have a hard hike throughout the day. Even though you come from the usual Nagrak roadside it is more difficult for you to reach up to the turning bend near to the Nagrak Bungalow. Ihala Galagama/ Landuyaya road is the road to Hawagala Mountain.

This was located at the Badulla- Ratnapura main road. It is about 100 hike from the main road to the base of the waterfall.  The 6m-high Brampton Falls is set amongst tropical jungle and flows to the Walawe River. It derives its water from the eastern slopes of the Papulugala Mountain (1530m). It is situated 10km from Belihuloya, near the Brampton Tea Estate (at the 106th-mile post).

Vantage point of Nagrak is situated at Non Pareil Estate. It is a nice view point and this is my experience of round trail from Belihuloya to Non Pareil Estate via Galagama Falls and camping at Vantage point.

We reached Belihul Oya and I called Premadasa and got the directions to his place along the Belihul Oya-Landuyaya road. Yeah, you guessed right coz another beautiful waterfall known as Pahanthudawa Ella is also located on this road. Premadasa’s house is in Galpoththenna, Ibbanwala about 3km from Belihul Oya. However we missed him and drove all the way to Ihala Galagama School. It was a good thing coz we could see the Galagama Ella in the far distance and so far higher in the mountains bordering the Horton Plains. The elevation difference was around 1000m (yeah 1km) or probably more. Nagrak Bungalow is located well over 7200ft (almost as high as Sri Pada). Therefore Galagama Ella must be one of the falls located at the highest altitudes in Sri Lanka, of course in closer competition with Baker’s Falls aka Gonagala Ella.
