 This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. If you are planning to visit Sri Lanka, I highly recommend you to go see this one. I will be posting a video soon.

This post is from my visit to the Ethugala rock on 20/06/2010. This place is of historical, ecological, and cultural importance. The kind of wildlife I've observed there will be available on my wildlife blog soon.  Ethugala is very closely associated with the ancient era when Kurunegala was the Capital. That era starts from the year 1293 according to the resources. Actually the history of

Some of my workmates and I have decided to do some frequent traveling, with one another's families. The first trip of the scheme took place on last Sunday.  Our destination was Reversturn, a peak of the Knuckles range. We also spent a litle time in Pitawala Pathana and had a cool and soothing bath in Thelagamu Oya river. The route we took was from Kurunegala to Thalgodapitiya Junction along

Kurunegala is where I currently reside.  It's the capital of the North West Of Sri Lanka. It is one of the ancient capitals of the country too. The sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha was once kept there in that far gone time. This is Ethugala , a rock that gets its name having the shape of an elephant. Situated about the middle of the city, this is the land mark of Kurunegala. The&

I recently visited my old place in Panadura. I did not forget to hang around Lake Bolgoda, a man- made canal from the colonial times. Around lake Bolgoda is a very sensitive wetland echo system with a significant bio diversity. Here is a villager, a fisher probably, paddling his canoe. This reservoir is abundant in local and introduced fresh water fishes and prawns.    A glimpse of
