කඳු, හෙල්, නිම්න, තැනිතලා, පතන, දිය ඇළි, උමං, ගුහා ආදී සොබා නිර්මාණ රාශියක් පිරුණු මේ ලක්බිම සැබවින්ම සුන්දරය භූමිකම්පා, ගිනිකඳු රහිත මේ පොළොව විවිධ දේශගුණික තත්ත්වල පිරුන කුඩා දිවයිනකි. ඉන් මධ්‍යම පළාත යනු රටේ අතිශය සුන්දර ඉසව්වකට දෙස් විදෙස් කවුරුත් පිළිගන්නා මතයකි.

Nawalapitiya, the interchange for Waterfalls

Nawalapitiya is like a inter change for many beautiful places in central province. Here are some information about the routes connecting with Nawalapitiya town.

Waterfalls from Nuweraeliya to Thalawakale

We have reached Nanu Oya (නානු ඔය) railway station in early morning by night mail from Colombo and waited till dawn comes. Glassaugh Falls were seen in distance and we started to walk towards Radella (රදැල්ල) station. (Same direction we came)
According to Sri’s report there is a significant cascade down the bridge closer to Nanu Oya railway station. We attempted to reach the base of the falls just before the railway bridge and it was failed.

Riding towards Horton Plains by Bicycle (Kirigalpotta hike returned via, Thalawakele)

Riding bicycles on those hilly roads were somewhat difficult, but it was a life time experience for us. Climatic condition in Nuwara Eliya during December and January is cold and dry. Therefore, it is better to arrange your journey during December.

Sri de Lakdasun – One Year Anniversary Celebrations amidst Heavy Rains with Angels

It’s been a year ever since Sri de Lakdasun was born and I wanted to celebrate his first birthday in an unforgettable way. He’s now beginning to stand on his own and even say a few words such as: Waterfall, Hike, Mountain, etc. It’s been so nice watching him grow bit by bit and learn things as the time goes on

Hiking “The Paradise”

From the beginning of this year I had planned to do a hike along the Bambaraknda – Ohiya track. August was my target month and I was thinking of doing this on my own even if my friends would not join me (I thought they might not be interested in a long hike). But surprisingly they all agreed to join me and were quite interesting in this hike.

Chasing Waterfalls

On the 18th two of us left delgoda at about 4am and picked up the other two crew members from ambepussa and we were past gampola when the sun was rising above the mountains. It was a beautiful morning with a slight chill in the air and the scenery that unfolded before us when we drove past nawalapitiya on the talawakelle road was simply amazing.

The Motorcycle Diaries…

We started our journey from Hikkaduwa at about 4.30pm and reached to Kaduwela at about 7.30. We spent the night at our relation’s place. We left Kaduwela at 4.00am and headed along the low level road reached to Avissawella about 5.00. We could see the first rays of the day at Kithulgala

Quick Getaway to the Beautiful Nuwara-Eliya

The trip wasn’t planned extensively but was well executed at the end. The trains were booked from the Fort railway station just that morning. Third class sleeper-rest was our choice (quite economical) and due to the fact that it was a Monday evening of a non-vacation time we were able to book the train on the same day. We were able to get contact details of a cab to do the day traveling in Nuwara-Eliya. Pello Resort was booked by one of our group mates.

Thotupola Kanda(2359m) 3rd highest mountin in Sri Lanka

Originally we planned this trip to visit the waterfalls in Ginigathhena and Hatton area, but since we were able to reach Ginigathhene before 7, made a sudden change of plans and decided to hike the Thotupola kanda. As I mentioned earlier the climate was really cool and the roads were all covered in mist.

Bird Watching in Nuwara Eliya

Came to Nuwara Eliya town and went to Galways forest which is on Welimada road few kilometers from Victoria park. Though we went in at around 11 this man made forest in the middle of the town is a bird’s paradise. Due to high canopy as the sunlight does not show much even at that time it was full with some uncommon birds such as Velvet fronted Nuthatch, Grey cannery flycatcher, Bar tailed Flycatcher,Yello Bulbul , Great Tit etc.

Exploring lost memories of 15 years back

As a travel location; Devon was the first in our journey. 97m height water fall was identified as one of the 20 most spectacular waterfalls in Sri Lanka. It was located at a distance of 7km from Talawakele. There were two main view points located at A7. One was closed to Mlesna tea castle. The other was the lower one which was special because the both Devon & St. Claire falls can be viewed at the same place.
