Dolosbage

Above photo was taken from Dolosbage mountain range. It is situated in the boundary of Central Province adjoining Kegalle District of Sabaragamuwa Province. You can reach here via Dedugala or Nawalapitiya.

Sunset in the Mountains

This picture was taken near Uda Diyaluma around 6pm.

We went pass Diyaluma falls on A4 and turned to a gravel road. Then climbed about 2 km along a footpath through the forest and reached here. We walked further and reached a point above Uda Diyaluma falls and camped there overnight.

Faraway, we can see Balathoduwa and Gonmollikanda.

This is one of the best area for hiking and camping in Sri Lanka.

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.

Sunrise from Yala

This sunrise was captured in Yala, just before the main entrance at Palatupana.

Eye of Sauron

I saw it above Thissamaharama recently!

Panorama

This amazing view was captured from Sri Pada Mountain.

Colombo Sunset

This photo is not from the wild but taken within city limits. This scenery was captured from Marine Drive, Wellawaththa. I pass this stretch every evening, so thought of bringing some evening delights of Colombo.

More from Mulawella

As I mentioned earlier the panoramic view from Mulawella is simply awesome.
Please click here to see the complete set of pictures from the top of this mountain.

Mulawella

During my recent visit to Sinharaja rainforest, I climbed Mulawella mountain, which is one of the highest points in the reserve. This peak is about 2500 feet high and it is one of the easier trails in Sinharaja. The round trip trail from the entrance of the forest reserve and back is about 6 - 7 kilometers.

The view from top of Mulawella is one of the best you can ever get within Sinharaja. I shall upload more pictures soon.

Dawn in a Rainforest

This beautiful scenery was captured in Sinharaja rainforest close to Kudawa village. Witnessing sunrise in a rainforest was an awesome experience.

Coastal Belt from Chilaw to Kalpitiya

The stretch of coastline North of Colombo up to Chilaw has been quite popular for tourism and leisure activities for a long time.

After the situation of the country turns better the tourism industry seem to be thriving in this region and beyond. Recently the region North of Chilaw up to Kalpitiya is also attracted by many large scale hotel companies both local and foreign.

The coastal belt between Chilaw and Kalpitiya up to now remains as a quite remote area explored by a few tourists and locals only. This region is rich with unique natural eco-system that is not found in other parts of the country. One such place is Anawilundawa area, which I mentioned sometime back. In addition the Mundal Lagoon area, the coastal belt up to Kalpitiya and the most of the main land coastline up to Wilpattu National Park and beyond, still remain as unspoiled area.

The above picture was taken at the beach front east of Anawilundawa close to a small fishing village called, Udappuwa.

Suburban Sky

This picture was taken yesterday from Nugegoda, a suburban town close to Colombo.
It is a pity that these sceneries last only a few minutes.

Cricket, Lovely Cricket

The island nation is a cricket fanatic country. You experience the most electrifying of atmospheres in a cricket ground in Sri Lanka. It is not just cricket but lots of entertainment as well: The papare* bands to DJ music; Variety of food and drinks; and of course the vibrant spectators from all walks of life!

This beautiful setting sky illuminated by the flood lights was captured at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo during one of the recent one day international cricket match between India and Sri Lanka.

*Note: 3-4 member band with unplugged music using drums, trumpets and trombones

An Evening at the Beach

This beautiful sunset was taken in the Western beach front near Kochchikade. This place lies about 35km North of Colombo and it is a popular place where people come to spend the evening.

Wonder what ‘he’ thinks?...

Closer to the Clouds

This beautiful picture was taken at the World's End of Horton Plains. This place is about 7000 feet above mean sea level and the precipice here is more than 3000 feet.

The clouds and the blue sky add extra beauty to the scenery seen faraway below.
