Sri Maha Kataragama Devalaya - Kandy

After the prayer, they handed y...

Hunnasgiriya Water Fall
Tourist attraction
👍👍 To get there you’ll have to walk up there. There’s a slight misdirection in Google Maps. The advantage of walking up top is the environment that feels incredibly good. You could take a bath on two spots specifically. Upper parts kinda too depth but the low part which we took a bath was okeyish. Bett...
