🍁Nature Pool🍁

                          🍁Nature Pool🍁

Dehenakanda Natural Pool is located in the Hapugastenna Tea Estate bordering the Sri Pada Forest. This pool was created by the Hapugastenna Plantation Company by building a dam across a stream flowing through the forest. It is about 2km away from Dehenakanda village. "Journey of Gemcity" We visit to Dehenakanda Nature Pool this time
                         
  As usual we started our journey from Gallella on motorbikes. It was a rainy day. The only way to get to the pool is through a muddy road. 
         
We came to the pool through the thick fog. Another group was there when we arrived. We played in the water in the pouring rain.  
                                     
 When we came out of the water, the others who were present gave us a kithul toddy treat. We don't drink alcohol ... so we took only two toddy coconut shells and tasted them. 
                           We had to go home before the rain so we left after that.After a while it rained and we were in a shed near a tea plantation. From the shed we sang to Ashan Ayya's bongo playing. 
                There is no decrease in rain. So we headed home in the rain.  That too was a good experience.

                Third aware siripa🍁🙏 ep 02  As darkness fell we reached Haramithipana. We have to go up another 2000 steps to our accommodation.  We will not be able to get there before nightfall.  But we moved on.   After a while the night dawned.   Wildlife is active at night. Fortunately, elephants do not roam the area where we should go.   But we can be harmed by leopards, wild boars and snakes.  We lit the torches. Wild animals move away when they hear human voices.  So we went on singing and singing. Due to the thick fog our torches are not clearly visible ahead.  We arrived at the lodge without any accident .   We were amazed by the flashlight light coming towards us from our accommodation.  Someone else is in the shed.  When we looked, we saw two monks standing in the forest and meditating in the shed.  We bowed to the...

                   Second aware siripa🍁🙏 ep 01      Last week Journey of Gemcity brought you our first Awara Siripa tour.  Today we go to Awara Siri Pada once again with a lot of new experiences.  Come with us ....... to experience that wonderful experience.    This time we were well prepared for the rain, wind and frost due to our previous experience.  This time too we prepared to visit Sripadha  through Erathna. This time our team had five participants.  About ten in the morning we arrived in Erathna.   This time we came by motorbike and took the Varanagala short road which avoided about 3km of difficult part of the journey.  A section of the road was severely damaged due to heavy rains a few days ago.  We  can't go beyond that on motorcycles. So we parked the bicycle  and started walking.   We ent...
