It is on the road from Bariel Handiya(junction) to Thanamalwila. After passing the Udawalawa town you come to the Udawalawa Tank. The road goes on the dam.
At the end of the dam on your left hand side, you will see the beginning of the jungle. It is protected from an electric fence.
This electric fence is built to prevent from elephants coming in to the village on the other side of the road. There are many human and elephant conflicts around this area, because these elephants are clever enough to break the electric fence and come in to the village. The villages grow sugar cane and elephants love to eat them.
How they break the fence is a amazing story. They bring a huge tree and put it on to the fence. Then the fence is broken and they are able to pass through it without getting electrocuted.
Nowadays the elephants have learned a new method to earn themselves delicious food. All they have to do is waiting near the road. The travelers never forget to give them something to eat.
There were 5 elephants near the road on the day I visited there. In one place there were two of them together.
We stopped to give them something to eat. The bigger one chased away the smaller one and ate the banana we gave it.
These elephants have also made a way for the villages to earn. You may find a little stall in every place where there is an elephant. The villages are selling things that elephants eat in these stalls.
Hay, now you can’t see me.
The following books contain maps of Sri Lanka that could be handy when you travel in Sri Lanka.
I've seen a lot tourists who travel by local transport service in Sri Lanka with no guide. They find their way through these books, without asking anybody.
Once I saw a foreign couple whomade their way to Sigiriya without much difficulty. Even, some of us Sri Lankans it is a little difficult if you haven't being there before.
This shows many aspects of Sri Lankan life.
It worths more than its price. It is a perfect collection of all aspects of Sri Lanka.
