We had another day to enjoy by hunting a few hidden waterfalls in Horana and Ellagawa which were we noted during our previous journeys. We headed from Bandaragama and continue the first visit to Ella Kanda Ella/ Elle Kanda Fall/ Elle Kanda Ella which is near to the famous Ella Kanda Dewalaya. This was what we identified on our previous journey to Wanahami Cave complex.

After that, we headed to Dumbara village which is close to Ellagwawa where we can see the Kalu river. We got the directions from locals and they were a little scared about this kind of hiking due to the prevailing situation of the country but we followed the correct health methods during this journey. Hence, we didn’t face any issue and they were also kind enough to show us the directions after we informed our hobby on travellings.
