October 3, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The Sabaragamuwa Province, (Sinhalese: සබරගමුව පළාත Sabaragamuwa Palata, Tamil: சபரகமுவ மாகாணம் Sabaragamuwa Maakaanam) is one of the nine provinces of Sri Lanka, the first level administrative division of the country. 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.

Went on a morning safari, and had a great time! It was rumored that a leopard was laying on a rock, but then it dissoparied. The other cars went on to chase it, but our driver stayed put with the rock and closed the engine. 5 min wait, and the leopard claimed up on the rock again - and we were all alone to vitnes the beautiful animal! Saw alot of other animals and the driver choose roads with no/few other cars, so we felt "alone" on the safari journey. Recommanded!

Very nice trip! I am portuguese so it was particularly interesting for me to visit the portuguese (not Dutch!!) fort in Gale - this is the place where our brave sailors arrived in 1502. The guide, Mahesh, is very good, friendly and helpful in any way! I do recommend this day trip.

6. ADAMS PEAK (HOLY MOUNTAIN) WITH THE HILLS - 6 days

Royal Thai - Cinnamon Lakeside, 117 Colombo - Batticaloa Hwy, Colombo, Sri Lanka Rameca Travel and Leisure

Venerated by four religions, Adam’s Peak is at 2,243m above sea level, where pilgrims flock to climb during the night in the special season of January to April. It is near the hill country town of Hatton, 123km from Colombo. The spectacular sunrise seen from the peak rewards pilgrims who climb to pay respect to the footprint set in rock at the summit. The climb is up uneven steps of granite and cement and climbers are encouraged by others to keep going; the descent is just as taxing. A ritual, after worship, is to ring the bell, not on the first visit, but only on subsequent visits. The various faiths regard the footprint as representing their own beliefs, so it is a symbol of the multi-cultural character of Sri Lanka.
