We had a trip around Walapane and Nuwaraeliya area and suddenly Madusanka said that there is a place called Golumale and it was situated near Walapane area. Then we thought to visit this place and we thought this will be a just a place for a bath. At that time it was nearly around 2pm and we are also at the same area. Hence we headed to Golumle asking the directions from the locals. Villagers are very friendly and they clearly told us the path to Golumale. We had another plan to visit Harasbedda Mini World’s End on the way back to Nuwaraeliya.

Golumale is a beautiful place for bathing and there are many bathing points and some special water flowing system too. We came to the temple and then walked towards the stream. This was situated near VRR forest reserve and we have seen some evidences of wild elephants too. Beware of the electric fence and bathing at unknown places.

After we spent time at Golumale and after the cool bath, we left to Nuwaraeliya. As Madusanka collected information about the attractions in and out Nuwaraeliya we had another plan to visit Harasbedda Mini World’s End too. We got the directions from locals about the shortcuts and we reached to the destination quickly.

It was located near the road and covered by a iron fence, hence it is much easy to discover this beautiful place.
