Anamaduwa is 1 hour way from my residence and it has been a routine area of interest for me. Though I had visited Paramakanda and few other places in the region I did want to expand the list of attractions.

Two Millennia in 5 days ( Anuradhapura – Polonnaruwa kingdoms) | |
I had a booking of 3 nights at Anuradhapura for a different purpose but it was suddenly cancelled. Since all plans has been made to be out of Colombo, we decided to make a best of it and take a long vacation especially for kids. Since most of the places visited are common, this report will be more of a photo journey with little text. |
Off to Mannar | |
We have visited Mannar on June 15th as one day trip. On the way to Mannar we were able to visit at following places mainly having archaeology importance. Though it is bit expired story I thought to write it down as it would be important to anyone who travel to Mannar from Colombo along this way. |
Memories of Wilpattu | |
We decided to do this trip in two days and planned to stay the first day night in a small hotel near Wilpattu junction and to start the safari following day early morning. So on first day we started our journey from Gampaha at around 2 p.m. and reached Puttalam at about 5 p.m. where we stopped near the lagoon for a break. |
Mannar, revisited | |
The long weekend in October was eagerly awaited as a trip to Mannar was planned with family friends. Unfortunately, at the last moment they couldn’t make it, but we decided to keep to our plans though the kids were a little disheartened. We left home (Nawala) at 5 in the morning and took our first break at the dried out Thabbowa Tank around 8am. We expected some bird activity but guess we were too late for that. |
