Lenathiri scattered on the rocks of Makanda jungle ..
We used to visit Kitulgala this time because we thought we would go for a walk in the jungle closest to Colombo. When we say Kitulgala, everyone thinks of water rafting on the Kelani River. Thought to go to the jungle.
If you want to know about the plants on the Kitulgala side you have to go to the Makandawa reserve. This reserve has to be crossed by the Kelani river. That is to enter the Makandawa reserve.
This forest is located at an altitude of 250 to 760 m above sea level. Makanda Mukalana. It is divided into two parts as Bandara jungle.
Visitors can get the information they need from the tourist center at the entrance to the forest, but you have to walk through the forest trails looking at the nameplates. That is to say, there are few guides here like Kanneliye Sinharaje.
For those who come to see the birds, Makanda is a wonderful oasis. 28 out of 33 endemic bird species live in Makanda. Also, 13 out of 33 species of fish can be seen around Makanda.
There are two waterfalls in Makanda. One is Spider Falls and the other is Lanteri Falls. Lentari Falls is the most beautiful and farthest waterfall in Makanda. It is located about 3 km from the Makanda Information Center.
Our journey started at around 9 in the morning amidst the shouts of the herdsmen. We entered the jungle like the forest of Sinharaja. We continued along the road through the thick trees. The interior is a bit dark because of the trees.
There are wide roads in Kanneliya as well as inside Makanda. Drawn roads. We had to look for nameplates to find our way, but due to the lack of nameplates at some of the road divisions, we lost our way and the road was endless. Did not happen.
After climbing a few waterfalls and climbing a large hill, we found the location of the waterfall because we had gone to the top of the falls, so the first thing we did was pack our breakfast. That is to say.
The waterfall is about 30 meters high and has a strange beauty. It falls alone and cascades down the rocks below. Water droplets are as cold as ice, like a lantern on the ground.
We went to the very bottom of the falls with great difficulty and then the waterfall looked like a huge waterfall. We saw a completely different waterfall below the one we saw above. However, the waterfall is very beautiful. The water is very clean because people don't go much.
Apart from this, there are things to stay in Makanda jungle for weeks to see. We will tell you about it another day.
