Family Trip to Sembuwatte Lake

Sambuwatta Lake is a beautiful man-made reservoir located in Elkaduwa, Matale. The lake is bordered by Cambell’s Land forest reserve and situated at an elevation of 1,140 m. The misty and chilly atmosphere with pine trees and tea-covered slopes surrounding the lake make visitors feel relaxed and tranquil.

What puts the lake at the top as a leisure and family travel destination is the plethora of adventure activities available such as zip-lining, swan/motorboat riding, canoeing and hiking. Bathing and swimming in the lake, however, is not allowed since the lake is fairly deep (30 – 40 ft), there is a separate pool built for that purpose.

Camping at Kelebokka 360 view point….

Kelebokka 360 view point and Sembuwatta lake are two common tourist attractions. We have camped at Kelebokka and trekked to Sembuwatta.

Scenic ride to Kallebokka and Hulangala

Kallebokka is a estate in Panwila – kabaragala road next to Madulkele, Central Province, Sri Lanka. It is located at an elevation of 1175 meters above sea level. The 360 View point located at the highest peak in the division/estate is the attractive place where most of the locals visit to view the surrounding beauties. We can see knuckles range with it’s highest peaks and the famous Sembuwatta Lake also can be seen. A ticket of 100/- is issued at the entrance passing the village.The road uphill is tough and all vehicles cannot be driven to the top. Bikes and 4 wheel drivers are recommended. You will never regret after reaching the top.
