June 20, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

The provinces have existed since the 19th century but did not have any legal status until 1987 when the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka established provincial councils. The Sabaragamuwa Province contains two districts: Ratnapura and Kegalle. It is named after its former indigenous inhabitants, namely the Sabara, an indic term for hunter-gatherer tribes, a term seldom used in ancient Sri Lanka. Sabaragamuwa University is in Belihuloya.

Adam's Peak (Sri pada)

This 7,300 foot tall mountain in the jungle of Sri Lanka is sacred to several different religions!

Reviewed By kelum - Kandy District, Sri Lanka

Most prefer to do the 3 hour hike at night up the longest staircase in the world,according to Arthur C Clarke.The path is paved and perfectly maintained so even a senior citizen wouldn't find too much difficulty in reaching the summit with some help. If the climb begins at 10 pm its perfectly possible to find few hours of sleep at the top before the sunrise .Wonder is not just in the sunrise .,its on the opposite side when the perfectly conical shadow of the sacred mountain spreads across the western mountains and valleys.for about few minutes. Climb down is easier with 'base camp' attainable in under 2 hours. A morning ascent is another option which is ideal for scenery sake.Best to begin the trek as early as possible so you would find decent solitude along much of the way until the pilgrims who climbed the night before start to appear out of the mist after 9 in the morning. Visibility up top could be shrouded in mist in most of the months so patience is needed to take a peek at the vista between clouds banks which roll in. The most exhilarating of the climbs would be the attempts done in off season ,between May and December ,much of which falling under the rainy season in the peak wilderness .This climb requires some planning as the rains in better part of the day may bring in cascades all along the route ,as well as down the staircase now turned in to a veritable water slide. Strategy should be to be clear of the mountain before 5 pm as the denizens of the forest would venture out by then.Summit would be occupied by few monks who would depend on weekly supplies from the town below .You may meet the post man who climbs the mountain each day and that would be the only human soul along the route unless there happen to be few others crazy as you. shoes need strong traction /water abundant in many creeks / warm drink in a flask /plenty carb/ biscuits /chocolates./Camera would be a burden unless well protected /clothes ready for a decent dunking /stick to the path ,don't venture out .Keep phone contact with the base in case .Best to report to police station before the climb and make sure to tell them when you come back. Difficulty level in an off season climb is high due to the high possibility of slipping on the concrete steps.

Reviewed By sudeshi2016 - Matara, Sri Lanka

Public place. This is situate about 16Km away from Yatiyanthota town. Rode condition is not much good, but still ok. Can reach easily as this beside the road. Water fall consist in few segments. No proper way to reach upper segments. If you need to go up think about your safety. It slippery and leaches also there. Grate please to taste the nature. Please don't pollute the place. Entrance free. 4 hours stay in the place and enjoyed.
