We came to the village by 7am and it was very difficult to take a Leyland 54 seater bus to Narangamuwa. However our bus uncle was able to get it in front of the Narangamuwa Temple. Unfortunately the school’s roof was damaged on that time due to the heavy wind over there. We were also feel it on the ground too. They was arranged a small meeting with the participating of all the parents and villagers. So they talked about their matters and we told that how we collect these items and the benefit which we expect from these students. After that we delivered the items to the principal. Kind villagers were arranged a small traditional breakfast for all of us. This was really an unexpected treat for us. However we all ate and after that we moved to our Lakegala hike.

ලකේගල යනු දෙස් විදෙස් සංචාරකයින් අතර ප්‍රචලිත කන්දක් බව නොඅනුමානය. ඊට කදිම නිදසුන නම් ත්‍රිකෝණාකාර කන්දේ පිහිටීම වැනි පිහිටීමක් ලංකාවේ වෙනත් කිසිදු කන්දක දක්නට නොමැති අතර කඳු නැගීම (Rock Climbing) ක්‍රමය භාවිත කරන්නට සිදුවන එකම කන්දද වනුයේ ලකේගලයි. ලකේගලේ මෙම සුවිශේෂී පිහිටීම දැකිය හැකි හොඳම ස්ථානය වනුයේ මීමුරේ ගම්මැද්දයි. සාම්ප්‍රදායික දුම්බර මිටියාවතේ ගමක් ලෙස අතීතයේ පැවතිය ද වර්තමානය වන විට මීමුරේ යනු දැඩි ලෙස වාණිජකරණයට ලක් වූ ගැමි බව වියැකී යන ගම්මානයකි. නමුත් මේ ලියමන මීමුරේ ලකේගල පිටුපස පිහිටි එවැනිම කඳු ගැට දෙකක් පිළිබඳවය. සමස්තයක් ලෙස මීමුරේ ලකේගල මීරියගොල්ල කන්ද සහ නාරංගමුවේ ලකේගල නම් වූ ගල් තුන තරණය පිළිබඳවයි.

Every year we handover school items to rural school. Last time we went to rural school in Badulla. This time we choose Narangamuwa Primary School in Laggala Pallegama to our project.

Narangamuwa is a beautiful village which situated at Knuckles region and at the base of mighty Lakegala. The mortable approach to Narangamuwa is from Dambulla-Pallegama side but it is connected nearby villages such as Meemure, Ranamure via foot pathways. I have been there more than three times and this is a fair attempt to describe beautiful places of Narangamuwa.

Lakegala might be the most popular mountain from Knuckles peaks. This has two peaks but everyone knows about the classic peak at Meemure village side. This is my experince to visit at both peaks of Lakegala.
