Another wonderful and a fantastic chapter of the hike season opened today on 5th of March 2017.

It's because of the shape of the rock from the surface when we look from far away it's more or like similar to an opened bible.. This beautiful mountain has an elevation of 670m, and it naturally owns an enormous bio diversity which simply creates the beauty of the whole system which fills with many varieties of butterflies, birds, snakes,leopards,snakes etc...and many spices including clove and etc...

Mathurata Ella Exploration-2013
Kurundu Oya waterfall is the second highest waterfall of Sri Lanka which is situated in Walapane area. This water fall got its name because it starts from Kurundu River. The fall is high about 206m. This is very beautiful and very high. Though this water fall is very beautiful it’s not famous like other main waterfalls. Reason is the location of this fall. It is far away from the main road (need to travel 18 Km to Kandapola road from Nuwaraeliya town.). If someone needs to visit this fall he/she must go through hills, down hills and also through dangerous cliffs. Piduruthalagala Mountain is much closer to Kurundu oya waterfall.
Kurundu oya starts from the north brow of the Piduruthalagala Mountain. This connects with other water streams that starts with Hiphorest Mountain and flows through tea estates. At one end of Mathurata, this kurundu oya falls from a Granite rock, creating the amazing kurundu oya alla as two tiers. Because of this amazing creation the starting point of the water fall cannot be seen from bottom. This is very rare in waterfalls.

We had another remarkable event on last Week. That was the Alagalla Exploration. Our team, about 25 members went to Poththapitiya by bus from the University.

Time was around 10 AM, when we start the Exploration. The whole trip, including a leisurely picnic at the top, took us two hours
