This scenery was captured between this point and this point.

Through a Cave to the Top

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the last bit of Alagalla climb was very exciting. The above picture was taken while climbing up through the rocky cleft to the very top of Alagalla. It shows what you see, while looking down from halfway up the cave.

More interesting photos, taken during the climb are stored here.

By the way, this is how you reach at the top!

The Last Bit

This picture shows the top most point of Alagalla. The last bit of the climb was very interesting, as we had to squeeze through a crevice in the middle of the rocky outcrop shown above.

Succession

This dead tree was captured in Sinharaja. Two younger trees have grown taller taking its place.

More from Sri Pada

This picture was taken from the top of Sri Pada. The twin peaks are known as Bena Samanala.

As you may know, there are few routes to reach the top and the local letters in the picture directs you to Rathnapura, Palabaddala route. The same route will take you to Kuruwita, Erathna road as well as Maliboda route. The other route at the top is Hatton, Nallathanni route. Moraywaththa Trail also linked with Nallathanni route.

The complete set of photos taken from the summit of Sri Pada is uploaded here.

Weddagala

This picture was taken while returning from Sinharaja Forest, just before reaching Weddagala.

Ella

Ella is one of my favorite areas in Sri Lanka.

It is situated in Uva Province quite close to Haputhale. Ella literally means waterfall. Infact, Ravana Falls is not so faraway from Ella. Ella pass is another entry point to central highlands and within two hour drive you can reach Thissamaharama via Wellawaya.

This picture was taken from the famous Ella Rest house.

Thissa Wewa

This picture was taken from Thissa Wewa of Thissamaharama.
