Tour Article Number Two - Tour to Katharagama

This tour was arranged just for joy of our life. We try to travel from Ambalangoda to Katharagama by motor bikes. We hope to attend to the oblation at 12 p.m. on the Kataragama Dewala premises. We started our journey by tribute to the Sinigama Dewalaya on the way and then from the Dewndara. This tribute was a tradition and for aspiration for good luck for the journey. As we expected we have a long journey ahead. and we spend our time in few places because of tiredness. Then here we are in Katharagama and as we expected we were lucky to attend to the oblation at 12 p.m. in Maha Dewalaya.

After the oblation we wish to have a bath on Thissa wewa. But we heard that was dangerous on the wewa at those days. So we choose the channel from the wewa to have a bath. And after that we have our lunch from nerby boutique. That was a awesome experience in the water and we were tired enough to have a big plate for lunch. :D

 

Than after we went to find a cheap and good lodge to have some sleep. Because we wish to watch and feeling aesthetic of the Katharagama Perahara at that night. then we go here and there for a lodge and finally we found a place to rest. Nearly at 7 p.m. we found a place to have the ultimate experience of watching the katharagama Dewala Perahara. We have lot of fun from the perahara and that was awesome. nearly 2 a.m the perahara was ended from our sights and we walk to the lodge to have some sleep and we discussed about returning home.

And next day morning at 9 a.m. we went to Sella Katharagama and do our praying (not me :P) and then we turn to way home. An always at the police barriers my university identity card was helped me to get there work done quickly and on the way we went to the Hummanaya which is located on the Kudawella area on Mathara district. Hummanaya was a blow hole near the sea. In nearby there was a Kudawella habour also. At 9 p.m. we were again in Ambalangoda and we devided to our homes by keeping happy feelings about our successful journey.

Here some more Photographs when we have our fun.......

Tour Article Number One - Nawagiyawa Lake

This article was about tour to the Nawagiyawa lake which is located in Ampara Gonagolla area. This was a place I visited a long time ago. From  Ampara Mahaoya road turn left from the Gonagolla junction then road ahead to the Nawagiriyawa lake. On that Days Lake was drying. So we are able to ride our motorcycles on the lake. It was a fantastic journey. When lakes were drying, some people dig the lake and try to make bricks from that soil. But these poor people think we are from the government so they were scared. But one of my friends knows them and told that we aren’t from the government. Then problem solved.

 

After that we seek place to fishing. Sometimes we sink on mud with bikes. Then lift the bikes and takeout. It was too tired but by thinking of the journey ahead that was a nothing. So we go through the lake and fond some place. But fishing is not for us. We were catching two or three fish from the lake. After disappointed on the fishing we go to see the place that the lake was divided on the dry season. Unfortunately that was not succeeded because of the some rocks were ahead and we can’t go through. So we have to stop the journey today and one day I hope to visit this place.

 

And there were lot of tales about this lake I wont to seek but that was getting dark. So we end our journey and return to home. But that was amazing experience in my life on those days. But now that was nothing by comparing my journeys.
