Abwerdeen Falls, Sri lanka
Whoever thought that a trip to Shameela's at Dikoya would turn out to be such an enchanting one.
The unplanned weekend outing took us last Saturday to yet another water fall. Somewhere between Norten Bridge and Maskeliya, we branched from the main road to reach the place. We had a long downhill trek of about a kilometer, to the foot of the Aberdeen Falls.
The roaring sound of water was no indication at all of the white beauty awaiting us.Dark green vegetation on either side of our downhill path shielded the queen of water falls, until we were almost there.
And all of sudden we were being showered from head to toe with a chilly water spray.We were now standing amazed at the sight in front of us.How could such beauty have been unknown and unvisited.(There were only two other small groups besides us visiting the place).That was the most beautiful waterfall we have seen so far, surpassing the beautty of Dunhinda,Diyaluma,Bambarakanda,Devon,Ravana,Laxapana etc which we hve had the pleasure of seeing.
You would yourself agree with us after having seen the video which Azmy sent.
In addition to the water fall we also had the pleasure of seeing Wimalasurendra and Norten Power stations, and the Mousakale and Castlereigh reservoirs. The recent rains have swelled the streams and rivers and the resevoirs were also full.
