Nonpareil
2:58 AM
Colombo->Rathnapura->Balangoda->Belihul
Oya->Imbulpe->Non Pareil
Non Perial Easte road goes through Samanala sanctuary and
from the Sabaragamua side of the Balathuduwa & Gonmolli Kanda.
The same
road leads to Hirikatuoya Information Centre which facilitated by Forest
Department. Camping facilities available there but have to be booked from
Sampathpaya, Forest Dept head office. The road condition was manageable by a
van. When we traveled along the road about 1KM we were fortunate to see the
Balangoda – Non Perial bus service which is the only public transport service
available to the estate.
- If you
are planning to Camp you MUST have special permission from the estate
management. (It’s a private property and entering without permission is
prohibited)
- Camp
at your own Risk
- There
are lots of water sources along the way.
- Starting
early is an advantage
- Road
condition is so bad and 4WD is a MUST (At least have 2 spare wheels.)
- Mobile
signals only available in few places (Near Non Perial Factory & Nagrak
Bungalow)
- Hiking stick will be useful.
COOL..:)
