Off to Galaha

Galaha and Delthota are two beautiful entities at Kandy district but hidden from routine travelling routes. These are some travel destinations around Galaha and Delthota on my way to Rikillagaskada.

Galaha – One step closer to Heaven

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.

Learning the Tea History at Loolkandura and Hiking Kondagala (1450 M)

The Loolkandura estate was the first tea plantation estate in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) started in 1867 by Englishman James Taylor, it is situated in Kandy District.

Chariot Path of Ravana & Sitha on top of Piduruthalagala range and James Taylor’s Loolecondera!

Yahangala prompted me to go through few Ravana documentaries and important places related to the legend; though I’m not a blind believer I think he was one of the greatest kings in Sri Lanka. While going through some articles I came across a site called chariot path which urged me to pay a visit someday because of the unusual location of it.

Lulkandura / Loolecondera – Few hours with the pioneer of tea planters in Sri Lanka

We were heading Lulkandura / Loolecondera Estate, the first commercial tea plantation of Sri Lanka, which was located in a distance of 35km from Peradeniya. Just after the University premises, the climb was began. The road was bit narrow but had been maintained well. It was nice scenery of hilltops at Gampola area visible in our right hand side, especially the Govijana Seya of Ambuluwawa. The road was run through natural rain forests, pathana and pines lands.
