We start our journey from Sigiriya & our next destination was Matale. On that way we went to see “Nalanda Gedige” & Matale “Alu Viharaya”. We stay at our relatives house at Kaikawala. Next day morning we went to see 4 water falls at Bambarella area. First we visit “Huluganga Ella” & it was amazing such a huge water fall situated at center of town. We had our lunch at Huluganga town & we took three wheel to visit “Thaliya Wetunu Ella” , “Jodu Ella” & “Saree Ella”. After view all water falls we took bus from Bambarella to Wattegama.
We also went to see “Keppitipola Wallawa” situated at Hulangamuwa. Still relatives of the “Keppitipola Nilame’s” lived in there. They doing there maximum to keep the “Walawwa” in good condition. They told that government promise to protect it , but still nothing much happened.
We complete another great day & got ready for start our journey on next day morning.
Pls read the next Trip Report to find details from Day 11 onwards.
