Village beauty - Ahangama

 

I'm sitting on a rocky bench under a big beach tree with a little breeze. We humans, both in our chests and in our heads, need to feel that the hectic pace of life that comes from that exhausting feeling is healing wonderfully. It's not just a feeling, it's a reality that can be seen with the naked eye, both in the chest and in the head. Unlike in the city, there are no big houses next to each other, wall to wall. About half an acre in the middle of the land is a very nice little house, a clay kitchen and a wood stove behind the house. Kehel trees, two or three coconut trees, an orange coconut tree, a beach tree, a jackfruit tree full of saplings, and the land full of Attonia trees. Those people had a simple life separated from the border road by the canal and their chests were quite healthy. What's more, the food made by those people is amazing. Manioc Coconut Sambol Dried I thought it was a life meal with cashews .Today I saw the roasting of cashews with my own eyes. Um, that smell .... for months ..... waves that don't even catch signals in some places. However, the wind that blows the coconut branches not only exhausts the body but also fills the whole chest with waves of health. I saw this rurality, the simplicity without the false glamor, as a characteristic of those people. So, I remember the end of a beautiful experience that fills my mind even when I remember it a thousand times

Adam's peak

 We travelled to Adams Peak through Kuriwita on the 22nd of December 2021.Things to bear in mind.Sripadaya or Adam's peak is place of worship for not only Buddhist for many other religious people from deferent beliefs.

Adam's Peak offers stunning views of the region: from water reservoirs, to deep valleys and rolling mountains to breath-taking waterfalls. The main attraction are the sunrise, and Buddha's footprint at the Temple (currently closed since the pandemic).

This place normally has thousands of climbers each day but given the current situation and that peak season begins mid-Dec, we were only about 10-15 climbers. We started at 2.30am and depending on your speed, it can take anywhere from 2.5 to 4 hours. There are about 6000 steps and barring a few medium ones, most are fairly steep. All the steps are in very good condition, and there are railing throughout. The gradient through the climb is pretty intense.

It was completely cloudy when we went so we had no views, but we did see waterfalls on the way down.at the moment, there are no shops/vendors along the route, except at the bottom.An intense hike, but worth it if you enjoy the activity. Be prepared for winds and cold at the top. The total hike is about 16km

Sunset

 Every beginning has an end

Like unto the day, so is the night
The creation has a beginning, and so will it have an end
The beautiful day that starts with the morning star ends in a sunset

Stages in life are timely
And as they have an inauguration, so do they have a graduation
These circumstances don't last
They all come to pass
But they are the pieces that make us who we are
Understand this: it's not about how you start
but it's about how you sunse

Kabaragala Mountain

 

is located at an altitude of about 1506 m above sea level and is the highest mountain in the Twelfth Range. . 

If you are coming from the Nawalapitiya side you should come to Nawalapitiya Dolosbage Road and come to Meriwila Junction and come up Kovil Road. 

If you are coming from Bulathkohupitiya side you can reach Dolabage via Dedugala, Pelampitiya and reach Merivila Junction. There is a hike. Not so hard. Do not go in the rainy season!

From the top you can see the Kotmale Mahaweli Stupa on one side, the Kotmale Reservoir, Ambuluwawa, Gardiella, on the other side the Sri Padasthana and the Saptakandaya Range except when it is not foggy. 

Come here and go for a night camping experience. At night he can take a strange look here.One of the easy climb and a peak with better scenaries around. Hiked at night and camped on a chilled atmosphere. Just this rock has got nice and different viewpoints.

Watch your back and safety first when you're approaching the edges. And, keep the nature as it is, clean and pleasant.

Natur's Beauty

 For most humans, the beauty of nature is represented by spectacular sunsets,magnificent vistas,colourful foliage and graceful wildlife.but her true beauty lies in her diversity and both the interrelationship and interdependence of hher physical forces, chemical processes, biologic systems and countless life forms.

  Nature is both evolotion and exitntion ,life and death,growth and decay.she is mosaic of heat and cold, light and darness, fragility and awesom power. nature offers sunshine and hurricans,swans and maggots,rain forest and pond scum,whales and bacteria,distant galaxies and the moleclues of life.

Nature is neither good nor bad, benevolent nor jugmental,sentimental nor discriminatory. we enjoy her gifts and are subject to her whims. we are ,after all a component of her beauty,just like the golden eagle and the dung beetle.
