Knuckels the heaven on earth

My trip to knuckles was a major success. Stayed at the Dothalu camp on the foot of Dothalugala Mountain which is one of the 5 mountains of Knuckles range. Due to heavy winds we were not able to camp out side so had to lodge in the near by stony cabin.

Did some good tracking on the Dothalugala tracking route and on the mini worlds end (Again) which gave me some good photo opportunities. Apart from that the biggest event of the trip was visiting Mee mure. Mee mure is a remote village situated at the foot of Lakegala mountain about 33 km away from normal human habitat. Seeing the normal and historical natural life style of our own Sri Lankan villagers was a new experience and at the same time a good opportunity for photos. Mountain peaks covered in heavy fog and Jungles covering most of the land and breeze that chills the skin makes Knuckels a heaven on earth.
