Travelling to matale

Riveston mountain , bambarakiri ella, pitawala pathana, Sera Ella

Located approximately 30 km from the Matale town, when travelling on Matale – Girandurukotte road, rather windy with quite a few hairpins turns but in good condition, offers great views all around with a mini worlds end, lot less travelled by main stream tourists. Climatic conditions here are very similar to Horton plains with the addition of having two great waterfalls “Sera Ella” and “Bambarakiri Ella”, both of which are a site for sore eyes, don’t forget to relax on the rock seats of “Sera Ella” relishing the cold misty spray of water on your face and Thelgamu Oya offers a great site for a dip in crystal clear but chilly water.
  Travelling further upstream on this very scenic stream will no doubt will make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. We recommend that you plan a trekking trip (02.5km) to the mist clad Riverston peak via pittawala pathana, as it offers some of the greatest views of the central hills across the mini worlds end which ends in a sheer drop of 300 meters offering a great vista especially of the “Knuckles range”, and the thelgamu valley below with its terraced paddy field method unique to the central hills of Sri Lanka.

Madolsima - badulla The easiest way to get there is to walk from Badulla to Madolsima and then from there you have to walk another 22 KM. If you want to go right, you can go right from Madolsima to around 8 KM on the Akiriyawa road and then turn right at the Kuruwigolla junction. Now this time the Estate Authority has issued guidance boards. The whole place is just as carpeted. It's like a jeep. Cars, vans, buses are not even close. There is no door to a nearby house. There is no human race for kilometers.   From public transport, one can travel to Passara and then cross over Kuruvigolla via the overpass bus. * A bus runs from #HPLTravels to Colombo and Madolsima. It leaves Colombo at 10.15 pm. Then you can take a bus from Madolsim to Kuruwigolla. If not, you can take a bus to Colombo and then travel back to Passara. You can take the necessary items from Madolsima town. There is only a market in Kuruwigolla. The little globe is covered with fog most of the da

Ambuluwawa - backyard mountain of Gampola Ambuluwawa, also spelt Ambuluvava, is the backyard mountain of Gampola in Sri Lanka’s highlands. At an elevation of 1087 above sea level and 700 m above Gampola town in the Mahaweli river valley, the Ambuluwawa mountain hosts a new tourist spot including a biodiversity complex and Sri Lanka’s first multi-religious sanctuary, with a Hindu Kovil, a Muslim Mosque and a Christian Chapel, besides several Buddhist shrines. The landmark of the Ambuluawa temple complex is a large winding tower resembling a stylized Buddhist stupa. A sapling of the Anuradhapura Bo-tree is tended here, too. Ambuluwawa is in 5.5 km distance from Gampola’s town centre by road. A winding and partly very steep access road to the Ambuluwawa peak, 1.5 km long, branches off from Hemmathagama road (B279). The Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Center was inaugurated by Sri Lanka’s former Prime Minister, Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Jayaratne, popularly known as  “Di Mu”, who was
