Art on the Street

Recently visited Katharagama. It's a very well known destination for pilgrimage traveling in sri lanka. There are lot and lots of small street shops, where they sell variety of things, from vegetables to small toys. I took this picture because it was very aesthetically appealing to me. It certainly has a great combination of variations of green.

Lakshapana Falls

This is the 2nd episode of our journey to Sri Lanka's water falls. This time we had a team of 8 friends (last time it was only two). We traveled by bus to Ginigathhena. Had to wait some time in the ginigathhena bus halt till our friend comes. He had prepared lunch and everything at his place. So went there. It was a very tiresome journey to his place, because it was very rough road. After about 2 hours of traveling, we got to his place.

Spent some time there with his family. Luckily we found a van to give us a ride to the water fall. At about 4.00pm in the evening we got to the water fall.

Finally after descending some few thousand small steps we got to the great lakshapana water fall. It was just amazing. No words to describe. Certainly better and more entertaining than the last water fall at Galaboda. Lakshapana Falls, which at 126 metres are the 7th highest in Sri Lanka, are situated on the Maskeliya Oya.

Ascending those steps was a good exercise. It was dark when we returned to the top. There was a cool hut, in which we stayed until the vehicle comes to pick us up.

We had to wait about two hours for the vehicle. Then we went off to climb Adam's peak (sri padaya kanda).

Amazing nature!

Yesterday one of my friends came to my place and we were thinking of any productive way of spending the day. So we decided to go hiking. To be really honest we didn't even know where we are heading to. Just got on to the badulla train. there was a big delay of about 3 hours due to some accident.


Got off the train near a very remote area. Pleople in that area said that there's a very beautiful water fall near by. So we went looking for that water fall. To add up to the excitement we decided to skip the regular road and go upstream along the water way.

Finally we got to the water fall and it was so amazing. The height of the water fall was about 50m. Since there was no one to stop, we went into the base of the water fall. It was really very hard to stay at the base of the water fall more than 1 - 2 minutes due to momentum of the water falling from 50m - 60m height.


Spent about 1 - 2 hours admiring the beauty of this great creation of nature and returned to the train station. We were really lucky to find a train back to kandy. Finally it was a great day. It is so amazing how things work out pretty well when we are not planing it at all.

wow!!

Amazing !!!!!
