Perspective
Algama Ella
This gorgeous nature reserve spans a few kilometers long flowing along rock pools and numerous small waterfalls.
Located on the Algama-Uduwaka road in the Kegalle district of the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka this is highly popular among local tourists and is crowded on weekends and public holidays. For photography, weekdays are more suitable when crowds are less.
Dedigama Kotawehera
The historical terrain [3] is situated in Dedigama village in Warakapola Divisional Secretariat. The thupa is located adjacent to 3rd km post in Galapitamada road which runs from Nelumdeniya junction deviating from Colombo-Kandy main route.
Villagers call the place as “Weherawaththa”. The tope is the very reason behind its fame. As the chronicle mentions Dedigama Kotawehera alias Soothighara Stupa was erected at the birth place of a great King in Sri Lankan history; King Maha Parakramabahu (1153-1186 A.D.).
Dorawaka Rock Cave - Ethubendi Lena
Is an archaeologically valuable site which was located too far from the main road.There is no vehicle path, but you can drive to the place by motorbike. Its very difficult to access here,because there is no road. Only foot steps in here.you have to go through rubber state. No shops or any other places near the cave.
Dunumala Waterfall
This beautiful waterfall which is medium in height (around 25 feet) is situated in the village of Uduwaka on the Algama-Galapitamada road in the Kegalle district of the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka.
Theli Ella
It's a beautiful place to visit. But be careful. DO NOT GET TO THE WATER. There are so many underground water tunnels, water currents and pits abouts 30ft deep.
Theli Ella is a waterfall created by the Gurugoda Oya lying off the Nelundeniya – Galapitamada close to the Dedigama. Access to this 12m waterfall is difficult and lies far away from any road. Folklore states that King Walagamba was hiding a close waterfall during his exile and one of his queens lost her neckless at the fall giving it the name “Theli Ella
