12 Days Trip to Wellassa & Digamadulla – Day 5

We started our 5th day of the tour & early morning we went to “Muhudu Maha Viharaya”. We spent couple of hours there & left from Pothuvil to Ampara.

12 Days Trip to Wellassa & Digamadulla – Day 4

We spent 3 days at Buttala & leave from there around 7.30 a.m. First we went to see “Galabedda Pokuna” & came to Lahugala.

The Long-Awaited Breakthrough at Kumana National Park – Pictorial Story 2…

I hope you liked the new version of report which I’ve introduced which sort of told you the story of our wildlife, especially the plight of them in Wilpattu thanks to a Government Minister who’d taken the law into his hands destroying many acres of precious lands belonging to the buffer zone of Wilpattu by giving it to his supporters. It’s just pathetic the way things happen even though the Ministry of Environment is under the President himself. We also saw how they started building Mini Hydro Power Plants at Handagiriya destroying many more cascades very recently. It’s just so saddening to see the people who’ve been elected to safeguard these things help destroy them for monetary benefits. I hope they will soon see the erroneous ways they’ve been handling our natural resources and get back on track to protect them. However the million dollar question is, “Will it be too late?”.

So, just like that journey, I’m going to plunge straight into business and leave the fairy tale stuff aside. I’m sure the story of the wildlife in Kumana, the farthest away from Colombo, is much more interesting than my vivid imagination. However, just a bit of foreplay wouldn’t be too much to bear I suppose. Well, the newest of our crazes has become the wildlife, probably due to the less appealing states of my beloved waterfalls. Thankfully Hasi too shares the same taste and ever since Wilpattu, we’ve started to manic chase of our wildlife.
