Let's climb the second highest mountain in Sri Lanka, Kirigalpotta

If You like Hiking, you should definitely climb kirigalpotta mountain. This mountain range is situated close to Hortanthenna National Park in Nuwara Eliya District. Therefore, you do not need to set aside separate dates for the journey. As part of your journey to Hortanthenna, you can cross the Milky Way.

https://www.facebook.com/Team.Kirigalpoththa

Kirigalpotta is considered as the tallest open air in Sri Lanka. The elevation is 2388 meters above sea level. The mountain climbing is an amazing experience. If you are looking for this mountain to climb, the best time is between February-April and July-September. The reason is that there was much dryness in those days. Note that this mountain top is not an ideal place for camping. This is because the high wind speed at the top of the mountain is very high. There is not enough space on the top of the mountain.

The distance from Hortanthenna to the top of this mountain is about 8 km. If you go to this mountain it is best to get permission from an officer in charge of Hortanthenna. Because leopards can be found around this mountain. There is a clear foot path to get to the mountain. The climb is not that difficult, and in some cases, you have to cross the steep rock. If you are going to this mountain it is best to go early. It takes about 6 hours to get to the top of the mountain. Also bring plenty of water and food.

The mountain is called the Milkpot, because the rock on one side of the mountain shines in the sun. The Kehelgamuwa Oya, a tributary of the Kelani River and the Agra Oya, a tributary of the Mahaweli River, were created from the surrounding Hortantenna. The view to the top of the mountain is also beautiful.

So, if you are going to Hortanthenna National Park, don't forget to climb the Kirikalpotha mountain top.

This is about Piduruthalagala, the highest mountain in Sri Lanka

If you ask me what is the highest mountain in Sri Lanka, I am sure you will say that it is a pidurutalagala. So, we are talking about this Piduruthalagala mountain.

https://www.facebook.com/tourismsrilanka.gov.lk/

Piduruthalagala has a height of, 2524 m or 8281 feet above sea level. This mountain is also known as Pedro Mountain. This mountain is located close to the Nuwara Eliya town in the Nuwara Eliya District. Apart from the elevation of the sea level in Sri Lanka, the Piduruthalagala mountain range is important as it is a point where 4 out of the 92 maps that divide Sri Lanka. Beliuloya, a tributary of the Mahaweli River, is made from the forested region of this Piduruthalagala mountain range.

The Army Air and Navy camps are located on the top of the Piduruthalagala mountain. And this place is a high security zone. The main transmission hubs of the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, CSN and Telecom are located here. There is also a complex with high-tech equipment, including radar, at the top of Piduruthalagala mountain. This is why hundreds of soldiers have been tasked with protecting the mountain top. This is one reason why the mountain top has been a major target of the LTTE for some time now.

Tourists are allowed to go to this tower and they have to get permission. They also have to comply with the rules and regulations of the army. One of the laws is to prohibit taking photos on top of a mountain range. The reason is that it could have an impact on the security. Tourists are allowed to take pictures of the Nuwara Eliya town and other restricted places visible from the top of the mountain.

You have only 8km to go from Nuwara Eliya to this mountain range. The road is winding and climbing the mountain is not an easy task. The Army will check your national identity cards and other items. At the top of the mountain are soldiers' quarters and several other buildings. You can't get down or stay anywhere on this Piduruthalagala road, because this mountain is so popular with leopards.

The forest surrounding the Piduruthalagala mountain range is a vast area of ​​flora and fauna. The view from the top of the mountain is also beautiful. The city of Nuwara Eliya is clearly visible from here onwards and the other parts of Mandaram town are visible on the other side. The mountain is covered with fog for most of the day and the weather is cold. This mountain is not popular with tourists in Sri Lanka. If you are visiting Nuwara Eliya, don't forget to come to the top of this mountain and enjoy the beauty of the place.

https://www.facebook.com/hwheshan/

The waterfall is named after the Scottish Aberdeen. Aberdeen is a name that have planted in a tea estate around this fall. So, it is named after the town of Aberdeen in Scotland, where the white man who owned the property lived. So, he says that the name of this waterfall is also named after it.

The Aberdeen Falls was created from the Kehelgamu Oya, a tributary of the Kelani River. So, if you are going to the waterfall then you have to cross the Kalugala Junction at Kitulgala on Hatton Road, Colombo. There is a road leading to this waterfall after passing Kalugala. About 15 km from there you will find the entrance to Kalaweldeniya. So, there is another road leading to this waterfall. Aberdeen Falls is located in the Ambagamuwa Divisional Secretariat.

There is also a faculty to see the beauty of the falls near Komahari Falls. From there you can see the falls. No matter how much you wait, you won't get tired. This is such a beautiful waterfall. So, one who goes down to the waterfall can have a stunning view, If you can see the waterfall from there, it's pretty strange.

On one side of the waterfall there is a cave that has been eroded by natural limestone. You can see the waterfall in a different way. But, as with all the waterfalls in Sri Lanka, bathing here is not a good idea. It is rumored that there is ample evidence of dead people who bathe. So, you guys have to take care of yourself.

Ambuluwawa, for an Adventure

Ambuluwawa is a unique tourist destination located in the Kandy district. If you are traveling through Gampola to Nuwara Eliya or Hatton, Nawalapitiya, you can visit Ambuluwawa, Gampola. This is a white wonderland located in a staircase visible to everyone in Gampola.

https://www.facebook.com/harshana.piyasinghe.5

To reach this place, you have to follow the Gampola Hemmathagama road. If you are traveling by bus, you will reach the main entrance to Ambuluwawa, about 5 km away along the Gampola-Hemmatagama road. From there you have to walk for about 2 km to the top of the mountain. If you are traveling in your own vehicle, you can drive to the top of the mountain. You have to buy a ticket to go to the top of the mountain.

Ambuluwawa is a beautiful ecosystem with an area of ​​927 acres. It has a high biodiversity with a large number of animals and plants. There are many invertebrate animals here. It is said that there are many species of insects and beetles and 20 species of butterflies. There are about 43 species of reptiles, 23 of which are endemic to our country. There are 24 species of snakes in the ecosystem, from small canoe to large snake. There are about 90 species of birds.

The eastern side of the mountain consists of a rock and the other side is a forest ecosystem. The mountain top is 3567 feet above sea level. Development of the mountain began in 1997 and in 2002 it became the world's best developed mountain. It was opened to the public on September 18, 2007. The Agrarian Stupa at the top of the hill is considered to be a religious place. This Stupa which is shaped like a paddy field is representing the farming community. The tower is 400 feet in height. There is a Buddha statue inside the temple.

Climbing to the top of this structure is a very exciting experience. You can go up and down in the middle of the lake, but it does not give you the excitement of going around the lake. The maximum of the horror is when you climb the tower. The road with the surrounding stairs is much shorter, and on crowded days it is very difficult to switch between those who go up and down. In some places there are places like caves. There is a lot of air at the top of this tower and the horror is high. If you are afraid of high places, don't skip here.

The view from the top of the staircase is spectacular. Gampola is in full view and Pussellawa Kothmale in the other side. This mountain range also includes Piduruthalagala, Nuckles, Hunnasgiri, Peacock hill, Sapt Kanye, Namunukula. The areas like Kadugannawa, Balana and Nelligala can be clearly seen here.

If you are traveling through Gampola we urge you to come and see this Ambuluwawa Seya and discover the adventure here. We also ask you not to do anything that will destroy this ecosystem for future generations.

And please don’t pollute the environment.

Let's cross the beautiful Namunukula Mountain

So, in this article we are going to tell you another beautiful mountain that is suitable for both hiking and camping in Sri Lanka. It is the Namunukula mountain. This is the highest mountain in the Uva Province. If you have ever traveled on the Badulla Passara road there is no reason not to see this mountain. It is said that the mountain was named as Namunukula, with the meaning of nine peaks. Namunukula is one of the 10 highest mountain ranges in Sri Lanka. This peak is 2036 meters above sea level.

As I said before, this is a great mountain for hiking and camping. If you are going to cross this mountain, you must first come to Badulla. There are two main roads leading to this mountain range from Badulla. One is the road through Nirmalai in Spring Valley. The other way is the Diyanagala road via Glen Alpin. You'll have to travel about 15 kilo meters from Badulla to get to the hill stations on both these roads. Both ways are beautiful. I am passing many beautiful tea estates.

If you are traveling along Spring Valley, Memale and Nallamalai, then you can take a bus to Nallamalai. By the time you pass the devalaya you have already crossed over half of the Namunukula range. Don't forget to pay homage to the temple. You can reach the top of the mountain by an hour's drive through the turpentine treehouse near the temple

The other route to the mountain is the 3-mile post in Badulla Passara road. You can reach Diyanagala village by about an hour's journey. The paths through the jungle are both difficult and tedious. But when you go up, the cold doesn't make you tired.

Since the Namunukula mountain is considered to be the site where the ancient Indika deity lived, I request you to follow this religion before you climb this mountain. Because the villagers believe that this mountain has some power. We therefore urge people not to drink alcohol and to behave decently.

The top of the ridge is truly beautiful. Most of the time the mountain is covered with fog. From this mountain you can visit the lowlands of the Southern, Eastern and Uva Central provinces of Sri Lanka. The view from the top of the mountain is really strange. Also, the camping area is very favorable as it offers a lot of spacious views on the top of the mountain. There is also a water table on the top of the mountain. If you are climbing this mountain, it is not necessary to carry water.

At the top of the mountain is a beautiful ecosystem of flowers. So, there is nothing wrong with going there and camping. Never hurt its beautiful surroundings. The sunrise from here is absolutely beautiful. In the morning and at night the storms are very cold. So be prepared for it. At the top of the mountain is a large area of Piduruthalagala , Narangala , Knuckles and the central hills.

I have a small request from you all, please don’t pollute the area. If you brought something don’t leave it, take it home and put it into a dustbin. Enjoy the view, take photos do whatever you want but don’t pollute the environment. It’s our responsibility to keep our world clean.

Don’t forget to visit this place if you are travelling in Badulla-Passara road. 

Thank you.

 

 

The beauty of Bomburu Falls

Bomburu Ella or Perawella Ella is located in the Uva Paranagama Divisional Secretariat Division close to the Badulla - Nuwara Eliya district boundary. This waterfall is the widest waterfall in Sri Lanka. This beautiful Bomburu Falls is located in the Seetha Eliya Kandapola Forest Reserve in the village of Perawella, about 15 km from Welimada.

https://www.facebook.com/ceylondiaries/

The Dulgala River, another tributary of the Mahaweli River, is formed by falling into four parts. The height of the falls is about 50 meters and the width are only 20 meters. Sources indicate that the lower part of the falls is known as Uma Oya.

If you are coming here from Kandy, you should come to Welimada via Nuwara Eliya and those coming to Colombo should come to Bandarawela and then to Welimada. From Welimada town, there is a bus to Bomburu Falls across the Uduwaha. If you are coming in your own vehicle, you will have to follow the foot path to Bomburu Ella from Welimada to Uva Paranagama Road, Ambagasdowa Junction, Himbiliyagahamadiththa Mudanawa Junction, about 11 km. If you go to this waterfall, ask the villagers for details. If you go for 2 km along the footpath you will find this waterfall. The area is populated with beautiful fields and greenery. Get ready for this trip as my leeches are plentiful.

This biodiversity hotspot also served as a hunting ground in the British Era. The sound of the falls is large and the dew rises about 30 meters. Below the falls, there is also a place for you to bath. The falls are even more beautiful as the fog flows over the Bombar Falls. Really, no matter how much you look at this waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular.

It is said that a legend relating to an elephant of King Rajasinghe II was attached to this village. However, this waterfall is still unknown to many tourists in Sri Lanka. Now we hear that many people are going to visit this bombshell and the beautiful environment is being destroyed. So, go visit this beautiful waterfall. But never forget the beautiful surroundings.

I have a small request from you all, please don’t pollute the area. If you brought something don’t leave it, take it home and put it into a dustbin. Enjoy the view, take photos do whatever you want but don’t pollute the environment. It’s our responsibility to keep our world clean.

Don’t forget to visit this place if you are travelling Badulla-Nuwara Eliya. 

Thank you.
