A hut by the river, Belihuloya, Sri Lanka.

This beautiful setting is on the opposite bank of the Belihuloya Rest House. The place is popular with bathers doing the long trip to Katharagama from Rathnapura. Now there is a shorter but less scenic route through Embilipitiya and Udawalawe. The stream looks placid but is dangerous. A companion of mine got nearly drowned bathing here. He lost his sarong in the struggle and had to be given a towel to cover his nakedness before emerging from the water.

The 'Ramboda Pass', the climb from Ramboda to Nuwara-Eliya skirted a cut granite rock on the side of the hill. This has been by-passed by a tunnel now. There is a waterfall before and after the tunnel. The above pictures show the Ramboda falls before the tunnel, the entrance to the tunnel and the waterfall after the tunnel.

Galkanda waterfalls on either side of the highway from Beragala to Koslanda, Sri Lanka

On the road from Beragala to Koslanda and Wellawaya before the village of Nikapotha there are two waterfalls straddling the highway. The photo on top shows the waterfalls above the highway and the second photo is of the waterfall below the highway. People of the village and travellers come here for a bath. The water is icy cold.

'Surathali' (Female Beloved-S) waterfalls, on the BelihulOya - Beragala road, Sri Lanka.

This waterfall is visible from the main road but you have to walk a few yards on a well constructed pathway to see its real beauty.

Lush green valley, Pathana, Hatton, Sri Lanka.

A lush green valley with the water from St.Claire's falls flowing at the bottom of it make this place look like Paradise. The cold air with the frequent mist adds to the enchantment here. The Arab visitors to Adam's Peak, of more than a thousand years ago, said that you could hear the 'sound of the Fountains of Paradise' in Sri Lanka. The renowned author Arthur C Clark wrote a science fiction titled 'The Fountains of Paradise' basing the story in Sri Lanka.
