How are you guys? I believe you're all doing well and waiting to travel around the nature. So these days more peoples went their old memories and refresh their memorable moments like me. So today I'm going to sharing with you most naturalize and surrounded by the green forest. This waterfall hinder place so the environment doesn't show any pollution. It's Battalu oya waterfall we met where we walked to Sri Padaya.

Sri Padaya is the most famous and most visible mountain in Sri Lanka. Although it is ranked fourth in height, the butterfly mountain is easily recognizable because of its distinctive shape and standing as a single mountain.

After the long walk we could find the water stream where it came so far distance of ahead. We came to this little stream and wash my face and hands. Water also fresh and deserve for drink.

Hatton Road and Ratnapura Road are known by many as the access to Sri Pada. But Sirpa can be done in six routes starting from six areas. We used the Merewatta - Rajamali road. The sunlight attacked us and we tired lot with our weighted bags.

From these various places, the main roads, Ratnapura and Hatton, reach the top of the hill. Dehhenakanda is the most difficult and the hardest of the roads and the Rajamale road is the easiest.Sometimes we had weird about mountain leopard. They're still living Sri Pada forest. We focused more about the foot path.
