Route: Ella - Kumbalwela - Hali-ela - Kandegedara - Keenakele - Thangamale watta - Narangala hike.

When traveling in your own vehicle, you have the option to park near the old tea factory before beginning your Narangala hike. Along the journey, there are footpaths and steps available that lead to the peak. This mountain used to hiking and camping.

Hiking Trail:- Narangala hiking trail starts at Thangamalai estate. In Tamil, "Thangamalai" translates to "golden mountain." This region is abundant in grass, and when the grass becomes slightly dry due to intense sunlight, it takes on a golden hue, giving the mountain its name. Narangala's distinctive characteristic lies in its sharply rectangular peak, rendering it a captivating spectacle even when viewed from a considerable distance.



While traveling by train from Ella, you'll need to disembark at Hali-ela railway station. From there, you have the option to either take a bus to Keenakele village or opt for a tuk-tuk ride to Thangamalai estate.

Legend of Ravana

  FROM THE PAGES OF HISTORY Legend of Ravana However involved in legend and myth there is no reason to doubt but that the great Indian Epic of the Ramayana has preserved for us the record of events which actually did take place in the early dawn of the history of Lanka. Ravana, the fierce Island King, had captured the beautiful Sita, the wife of a North Indian prince, and to avenge the insult her husband Rama Chandra, from whom the princes of Odeypore, the proudest family on earth, claim descent, led a mighty army across the water to the invasion of the fabled land. At Pallansena the army of Ravana appeared to dispute the passage of the Maha Oya, but after a fierce battle was driven back in confusion, taking with it the dead body of its commander Ingrutila; Rama Chandra thereupon advanced to the fortress of Ravana, and after a tedious siege succeeded in killing the latter and rescuing the princess.

Bambarakanda Falls Trail - Trekking Locations in Sri Lanka.

Image
  Bambarakanda Trail. Bambarakanda Trail goes to the top of Bambarakanda waterfalls, the tallest waterfalls in Sri Lanka. (263 m). This is situated in Kalupahana in the Badulla District at Haldummulla area, between Belihul-Oya and Beragala. And 5km away from the main road (Badulla – Ratnapura road). At Kalupahana junction, you need to turn onto the Kalupahana – Ohiya road. (Along this road, there are many lovely nature scenes and trails as you make your way up to Ohiya.) The Bambarakanda Falls, our destination, is only 5km away from the junction. Bambarakanda Falls, which can be found in a forest of pine trees, was formed by Kuda Oya, a tributary of the Walawe River. Kuda Oya originates at Horton Plains, known as the sponge of Sri Lanka. From the junction, you have the option to use a car or a tuk-tuk to reach there, but I personally prefer to walk this 5 km along this lovely road. Near the waterfall's viewpoint, there is a park where you can safely park your car. Additionall
