Sudugala and Wawegama are the attracts located between Nawalapitiya and Galboda. We can visit these places within a short time period. Sudugala is the popular waterfall and a Wawegama is a lake with beautiful surroundings. During my trip to Wewelthalawa I saw a Welcome board at Ulapane which tempted me to do this trip.

We started our ride around 3.00 pm after having lunch at home. We were able reach Nawalapitiya by 3.45 pm. Our first target is Sudugala waterfall. The waterfall is formed by the branch of Mahaweli ganga. If we go further up in the same river/stream we can also reach the Galboda falls.

After spending little time in Sudugala, we decided to go for our next destination which is Wawegama. Wawegama a Village with a Beautiful lake. We must travel 6 km from Sudugala to reach Wawegama. We have two optional roads. One is through Mapakanda-Galboda Road and the second is through Dekinda road. Dekinda road is fairly good. We used the first road to go there and used the second when returning.

There is hill near the Lake where you can hike with minimal effort. From the top we can have a 360 degree view of surrounding places. Kabaragala Mountain range can be seen clearly from the hill.

Wawegama lake is the main source for water requirements of Wawegama village. It is not popular among travelers. So it is still unpolluted. There is a reforestation project ongoing in the Wawegama Lake and hill areas. I didn’t see any camping site there and asked some villagers regarding camping. They said they didn’t see any people do camping there.
If camping at hill, lake is the only water source.

At around 6.00 pm we left the place and took the Dekinda – Nawalapitiya road to return home. This road is in good condition. We had achieved our plan within 3 hours of time with good memories.
