Started our journey from Colombo at around 8.30AM and reached " The Waterfall Villas " in Talawakelle at around 1PM where we were planning to spend the night at. Forgot to bring some cash with me and the nearest ATM was in Talawakelle. " The Waterfall villas " is situated in Talawakelle area surrounded with beautiful mountains and facing St Clair’s Waterfall. We booked the place FB basis, so we started with lunch. They offered set menu with multiple choices for all lunch, dinner and breakfast. The View was amazing and mind-blowing!! In the evening we went to see the Upper Kotmale Dam which was about 4 KM off Talawakelle. we were not allowed to go near the dam as it was required to take prior permission from the CEB. On our way back to " The Waterfall villas " we stopped at St. Clair Viewing Gallery to have a good look at the St. Clair Waterfall. This is a view of " The Waterfall villas " from the St. Clair Viewing Gal
We planned to go on an Outing to Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya and Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa Pasikuda since there was a credit card offer for most of the hotels in Sri lanka. On day one we started our journey at around 10 in the morning from Colombo to Sigiriya. We took the Expressway to Katunayake and took Minuwangoda, Divulapitiya, Giriulla, Narammala, Kurunegala and Dambulla route to Sigiriya. We reached Amaara Forest Hotel Sigiriya at around 3 in the evening and had our lunch. Dinner was arranged in their Forest restaurant in an open area and it was a different experience in a star hotel. It was drizzling but we had a good time inside the forest. The staff at Amaara Forest hotel were very friendly and the environment was well maintained without disturbing the natural look of the forest and the feeling was amazing. Weldone!! We had our breakfast the following day morning at around 8AM and started our journey towards Pasikuda. W
