A One Day Trip to Galenbindunuwewa

We looked for a rural Temple who needs our help. We got news about Temple in Kelenikawewa in  Galenbindunuwewa. We got bus from Pettah – Dutuwewa on 10th March. It leaves Colombo at 11.30 p.m & reached to Galenbindunuwewa at 4.30 a.m.

We met the thero & went to Kelenikawewa Temple. We have to travel around 13 km’s from Galenbindunuwewa town to Kelenikawewa. We reached Kelenikawewa at 8.00 a.m & met village people also. After that we came to Galenbindunuwewa town & took Kahatagasdigiliya bus to go see Divulwewa Samadhi Pilimaya. We got down at Komarikawala junction. From there we have to turn left & go 250m to the site. It is amazing place to see. Lot of ruins there & very peaceful place.Most of the people doesn’t know about this place & very rarely visitors coming to this place. The site officer is very friendly & gave all the information he knew. We spend nearly 2 hours there.

We had good time in there & we came back from there around 12.00 p.m. We reached home around 9.00 p.m after complete 1st part of big project & with lots of happy memories.
