Towards Diyathalawa


I went thru' this forest, while travelling from Haputhale to Diyathalawa. Haputhale, Diyathalawa and Bandarawela known for cool and less humid climates, quite close to temperate zones in the world.

This stretch of forest is about 3-4 km. More pictures of this beautiful area is shown here.

This is a beautiful forest. The white bark on some of the trees is fascinating.

love the lines in this picture, what a wonderful feeling must it be to be inside this forest.

Betchai,

This is in fact a man-made forest (re-forested area) yet, the feeling is the same!

Thanks a lot.

A very refreshing sight. Is it a turpentine forest?

Kirigalpoththa said...
