It’s a beautiful day (12th October 2013) my friends came to our home around 6 a.m. & we had a snack & start our journey around 7 a.m. from Kandy. Team was 8 & our transport was motorbikes. We reached to Hunnasgiriya around 8 a.m. and bought necessary things from Hunnasgiriya & filed with fuel too. There is no any town after turning this point.
Need to turn left from Hunnasgiriya
near filing station to Loolwaththa road. there are nearly 30 km to Meemure from
Hunnasgiriya. One bus belong to CTB is there only for Loolwaththa.
We were travelled through knuckles
forest reservation with passing Koboneela, Loolwaththa & well known place Korbert
gap (Also calling “Sulan Kapolla”) we were passed beautifull tea states in
koboneela & passing heavily covered forest closed to Loolwaththa. Mini
worlds end, Dothalugala Reservation, Vedilunu Guhawa are the main place you can
visit before reche to Meemure.
Road condition is not so good. But the
road is preparing these days with putting tar & making water cannels too. You
can reach easily after few months to Kobert gap. But we were not found these
actions after Kobert gap.
There were heavy downhill from Korbert
gap to meemure around 12 km with short & danger bends.
Meemure is a rural village which is
used to make famous film “Sooriya Arana”. There is a Stone Mountain middle of
the village call “Lakegala”. There are
many places to get a fun bathing in the village with nice scenery.
With the feeling of Meemure we start
to come back from there around 2 p.m. & reach to Hunnasgiriya around 5 p.m.
Our teams “LakRoo” enjoy well with this marvelous journey and we
invite you to get this superb experience and feel the beauty of our mother
land.
Hope to see you soon with another beauty & Adventure journey
Thank You
