This time we planned to visit Bomburu Ella and Kadiyanlena Ella...
We started our journey at around 3.30 in the morning and the last one to pick was in Avissawella. It was 6AM when we had our breakfast and left Avissawella. On our way we stopped at St. Clair Viewing Gallery to have a look at the St. Clair Waterfall.
When we were passing Nanuoya, the Surrounding mountain tops were covered with mist.
We had our lunch from Nuwaraeliya and turned to A5 road towards Welimada. Turned left from Galahagama junction and after about 4.5 KMs again turned left. There was a sign board on the road.
The view was amazing towards our destination and around 2.30 in the afternoon we reached it.
Our plan was to spend the night at "Bomburu ella village hotel" which was run by a villager who lived near the Bomburu ella bus stand. Tissa is the owner of it and the cost was very affordable. We could see Bomburu ella from Tissa Aiya's place. It was about 2.5 KMs away from the hotel.
Had our dinner at Tissa's place and woke up around 6AM the following day to start our journey towards Bomburu Ella. The view on our way was amazing and it was full of small water streams and water falls. As of the date (1st of Oct 2017) the site was not permitted for camping.
We could see some notification boards asking visitors to be cautious on the way.
After walking for about 40 minutes from the starting point we reached Bomburu ella.
And here is the waterfall.
The green field makes the waterfall more beautiful.
More views...
And here are some sceneries on the way back.
Had our breakfast from Tissa Aiya's place and started our way back home. If you are using public transport to come to Bomburu ella, There're enough of Welimada and Bomburu ella buses.
