Mandaram Nuwara - A Journey to the Dark Forest to Discover the Drum Beat of Hidden Angel.
12th September 2015 we were heading to the village called Mandaram Nuwara for night camping. Our journey was started at the early morning at 4:00 a.m. It was begin from Bandaragam. 13 friends were joined including two girls and driver. Our route was Colombo - Peradeniya (via colombo Kandy Road) - Gampola - Nuwara Eliya - Mandaran Nuwara. But our return journey was different. Mandaram Nuwara - Padiyapellea - Rikillagaskada - Kandy - Colombo.
Our first stop was at the Kadugannawa Gap. We were amazed with the breath taking Sun rise over the Bible rock.
There were many rode side waterfalls along the way.
