Beragala

This impressive scenery was captured in Beragala, 7 kilometres from Haputhale.

Hills of Rozella

Sometime back I showed you one of my favourite railway stations, but I could not show you how this area really looks like.

As shown in the picture, Rozella is a beautiful area in the hill country.

The Goddess of Knowledge

This is the upper part of Dunsinane Sheen Waterfall taken from the top of the bridge. There is a Hindu temple (Kovil) built just adjacent to the falls and the most interesting part is the statue of Goddess Sarasvathi, in front of the falls. The small but intricate statue brings a sacred value to this awesome scenery.

Anyone who is interested to know how this waterfall got its Scottish name, you may refer to this interesting article.

Dunsinane Sheen Waterfall

This lovely waterfall is situated close to a little town known as Punduluoya. To reach here, I traveled from Thalawakele to Thavalamthenne (New Kothmale Town) and turned towards Dunsinane Estate after Punduluoya.

For some reason I liked the long name of the waterfall and wanted to visit this place. Usually long names are customary in Sri Lanka. There is another estate known as Sheen Estate in the same area. So may be it was named after both estates.

The fall has two sections – above the road and below the road. The combination of two waterfalls creates one of the most spectacular sceneries in Sri Lanka.

Eight Meter Door Frame

This colossal granite door frame was seen in the ancient capital of Anuradhapura.

Anuradhapura is a UNESCO World Heritage site and it has thousands of ruins scattered in an area as large as 40 square kilometers, belong to the period from 4th century BC to 11th century AD.

This particular building must have built over one thousand years ago as it belongs to the latter Anuradhapura period.
