Climbing sri pada mount🍃

 

  Mount Sri pada is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. It is located in the central Highlands of the Ratnapura district.  Sri pada mount can be reached in about five  ways.  (Ratnapurapalabadda/hatton,Erathna/Muuryawatta/Malimboda) we travelled through Nallathanni Road. 

Pilgrimage to sripada begins with uduwap poya.  The Pilgrimage season ends on the Vesak poya day.  In other months it is difficult to climb the mountain. there is heavy rain and fog in those months. We bathed in a small waterfall before climbing mount sri pada. There were many waterfalls in the area.

 After bathing we ate rice and curry. We started climbing mount Sri pada around 6 p.m. It was a wonderful experience. Sripada mount was lit by light bulbs on both sides of the road.

We were tired when we climbed the mountain for a while. We were sitting in some places. There are small tea shops in some places. We ate bread at one of the shops and drank milk coffee.  That was an  interesting experiences. It is very cold at night. We reached the top of the mountain around one in the morning. We worshipped sri pada. 

I rang the bell once. This rings depending on the frequency of travel.

Then we had a rest there untill  morning. We watched the sunrise .  It's a wonderful sight.

The next day we started back down the hill. we got to see a beautiful environment. We walked in a beautiful environment full of different trees, vines, flowers, and animals.
We finished the trip around 10 a.m and came down. 

This is arguably the most beautiful place I have ever been.
