Waterfalls Hunting at Wewelwatta Road

Wewelwatte road is one of my favorite route in my travel life, I went more than 10 times on that road specially before it gets carpeted. There are plenty of waterfalls located in that road. Here I visited these falls during my journeys and they are list down in order below. Kindly note that there are some more waterfalls at this route such as Anda Ella, Goxin Ella, Pareiyyan Ella, Madde Kanda Ella, Polwatta Amuna Ella, Halmehi Ella, Kunissan Ella, Dodam Gallena Ella, Demala Ella, Batahena Ella etc.

You can plan this waterfall journey as per the given GPS coordinates. Without telling any description you can create your own route from Bopath to Beruwatte falls by using below GPS coordinates. It will be more attractive if you can travel in this route soon after a heavy rain. And remember do not visit them during heavy rainy season as there are so many flash floods and even we cannot get in closer to them during that time as they are acting crazy.

Waterfalls in Rathnapura-Siripagama road

Rathnapura-Siripagama is the second popular trail among Sri Pada devotees. This about waterfalls come across at Rathnapura-Siripagama road.

Visit to Sri Palabaddala Temple and Mapalana Fall

I was visited Sri Palabaddala temple for collecting some information about the mysteries and unbelievable incidents that Rev Premaloka Thero and Rev Chandraloka Thero faced.

Ambalam Hopping – Sri Pada Off Season (Hatton-Palabaddala)…

After a snail-like journey, we reached Maskeliya and bought a couple of essential things like instant noodles. We were planning to take a tuk-tuk from here but our luck held coz there was a Nallathanniya bus leaving at 10am. So having breathed a sigh of relief we got into the bus and settled. The sun was back and my hopes soared like an eagle. However as we got closer to Nallathanniya aka Dalhousie (remember it’s Dalhousie not Delhouse or Delhousie), those hopes came down and down like a deflated balloon.

It was very gloomy and there were a couple of passing showers as well. “This is going to be one heck of a hike” I told Atha and we both regretted not having brought the umbrellas. Well we shouldn’t have worried coz the usage of umbrella becomes next to zero after Geththampana due to the open area and strong winds. We had our long overdue coffee from the shop just before the bridge. Already there was a group of people getting ready to climb for a Pooja and we started our hike around 11am, after 8.5hr journey, well literally.

Irresistible Force of the Nature – Tour de Waterfalls 2…

After our Hunt on 01 May, I was yearning to do more of them as the season is ideal for it. However, there was this nagging feeling in the back of my mind about visiting Batadomba Lena as well for the past year or so. My visits to Beli Lena, Pahiyangala and Alawala Pre-Historic caves stimulated this idea more and more so decided to get two birds with one stone.

Tony managed to get permission from his Royal Highness and joined me for the 2nd leg of Tour de Waterfalls with his ever so trusted bike which is as old as him. We met around 4.30am and hit the High Level Road and were on our way merrily. However come Godagama and Tony suddenly braked hard to avoid a ghost Tuk-tuk which drove across with no lights whatsoever. The result was the headlamp of our bike came off and was hanging from the wires as a result of the brake. Just imagine how old is the bike and Tony himself. I was worried right throughout that Tony might fall apart just like the bike.
