6. Rathna Ella waterfallMahiyangana Rathna Ella , at 111 meters, is the 14th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka, situated in Hasalaka, Kandy District. The area surrounding the waterfall is extremely verdant. The main occupation of the villagers in Rathna Ella is paddy cultivation. The Raihna Ella waterfall is very important to the village, as it supplies water to the irrigation works and paddy cultivation. In the past, people built small anicuts to get water from Rathna Ella for their agricultural activities. Rathna Ella supplies enough water to assist 200 farmers to earn a living in paddy cultivation.

Climbing the Mighty Lakegala Mountain, Meemure | Episode 01 (2014)
Getting Started...
This video series includes short clips of my ascent to Lakegala, probably the most difficult rock climbing in Sri Lanka in Apr, 2014. Please enjoy but do remember that this is deadly dangerous and one group met with a tragic accident soon after our summit climb.
Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make other human beings aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin this place. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it. However I’ve a very kind and humble request from you all.
Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature (essentially Our Country) not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/reckless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in smaller groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring back if you have to take any with you.
* Don’t litter and even if it’ bio-degradable, please bring it back and dispose of the garbage properly and responsibly. Because no matter what it is, it will still be alien to that environment.
* Use reusable water bottles so that you don’t have to keep buying plastic ones. It’ll not only save you money but will help save nature massively.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Instead savor it.
* Try and bring if you spot any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. The increase usage of firewood leads to more deforestation even at a smaller scale.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or break any plants/branches unnecessarily.
* Don’t walk off the designated footpath.
* Don’t use soap/detergent/shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they’d only lead to the contamination of those pure water sources and elimination of wildlife species.
Mahakudagala which has actually derived from Mahakudugala or spelled quite funnily as “Mahacoodagalla” by the planters during the colonial era. She’s the 10th Highest Mountain of Sri Lanka with a height of 2100.7m (6892ft) and has managed to enter the top 10 list by beating the One Tree Hill aka Single Tree Hill by just 2ft.
This is not a strenuous hike but you must seek the help of a villager as the path to the summit can be quite difficult to find. You’ll have to first walk through the Mahakudagala Tea Estate and then enter the forest and start your uphill journey.
Once at the top, you can see most of the upcountry towns such as Padiyapelella, Rikillagaskada and most notably the Piduruthalagala Summit. However, one would have to travel on a clear sunny day as when we visited, it was nothing but the thick mist and there was no view to be had.
One would need to take Nuwara Eliya-Kandapola-Highforest Road and make a stop at a small town called Halgran Oya or Halgaran Oya and then reach the now abandoned Mahakudgala Tea Factory. From here, it’s the tea estate and line houses and you should be able to find a guide.
As always, please don’t dump your litter especially polythene and plastic. Do help save our Mother Nature and enjoy it without harming her.
