My favorite place of worship

     The climb to Sri Padaya or Adam’s Peak Mountain in Sri Lanka’s hill country is just a magical experience. It’s a magnificent creation of nature that has been respected for centuries. The sunrise here is absolutely spectacular. To witness this breath-taking site, you will have to start the climb at midnight and continue it all night long to be there by dawn. People of all ages in Sri Lanka climb the Adam’s Peak Mountain as a yearly pilgrimage, and they never get enough of this amazing experience. Visitors to Sri Lanka admit that it could be the most amazing sunrise view in all of Sri Lanka, or perhaps even in all of Asia….


The top of the mountain has a huge “footprint”. The Buddhists of Sri Lanka believe that it’s the footprint of Lord Buddha’s left foot. The Hindus claimed that the footprint belonged to Lord Shiva. Its English name – Adam’s Peak – stresses the belief of the Muslims and the Christians that it’s the first place that Adam set foot on Earth after leaving Heaven.

All these legends make it all the more exciting for visitors of this amazing place…

Adam’s Peak has become a significant pilgrimage place for several faiths, resulting in large numbers of locals making the 5,000-stair climb to the peak at 2,243 meters (7,359 feet) over 5 kilometers, during the months of November to May along a well-lit path. During off season which is from June to October, the area is usually cloudy, rainy and misty and the place is isolated yet some adventure lovers opt to climb Adam’s peak during off season, mostly during day time.


Access to the Adam’s Peak is possible by 6 trails: Hatton-Nallathanni, Ratnapura-Palabaddala, Kuruwita-Erathna, Murraywatte, Mookuwatte and Malimboda.

The view of sunrise from the peak is magical. All sense of community wash over you as you wait for that anticipated moment of the sun appears over the hills.

 It was a sunday. Most of the events we participated in that year were spent that day. Also, the biggest problem was that all these competitions were held in several school.🥴🙄          Anyway my competition was on the same day. To participate my competition , we had to come to another school at that time.      Usually when I go to a competition I wish my teachers and my friends were around me 😳. But unfortunately it was a busy day. So my teacher decided that only those who participated in the competition should go to the other school 😩. However this happened and my fear increased even more..😩😢😨😰        Anyway we took a taxi 🚕  to the school where the competition was held.🚖 But the competition had not started yet.🥲  So we went somewhere else and tuned our instruments.        After a while , the competition started.    " oh my god " 😲 I was the first contestant. 🤯🥶 . I w...

 Anyway, I'm the only one who thinks this's something mysterious.  This Dikkanda Walawwa is located on the Yakkala Kirindiwela 231 road between Dikkanda and Wathurugama.  About 6 miles from Yakkala town you will come across Dikkanda Junction.  Starting from Dikkanda Junction, this large estate stretches for more than a kilometer up to Watarugama Pinwatta Junction. This is a 330 acre coconut estate and the fence continues until it reaches Pinwatta Junction.  This palace is located on the hill in the middle of the garden.  This palace is not visible at the foot of the estate or on 231 Road or anywhere around it.  It is very difficult to see the palace due to the large coconut groves and other trees.  However, if you look closely, you can barely see the palace.  But k.  M.  About 4 miles away.  It can also be seen in Maligathenna and Pettangala Kanda. At present part of this estate is maintained as a poultry farm.  Rumor has...

  Books are friends who never leave your side. I find this saying to be very true as books have always been there for me. I enjoy   reading books . They have the power to help us travel through worlds without moving from our places. In addition, books also enhance our imagination. Growing up, my parents and teachers always encouraged me to read. They taught me the importance of reading. Subsequently, I have read several books. However, one boom that will always be my favourite is Harry Potter. It is one of the most intriguing reads of my life. I have read all the books of this series, yet I read them again as I never get bored of it. Harry Potter Series Harry Potter was a series of books authored by one of the most eminent writers of our generation, J.K. Rowling. These books showcase the wizarding world and its workings. J.K. Rowling has been so successful at weaving a picture of this world, that it feels real. Although the series contains seven books, I have a particular favo...
