Riverston
Riversoton is located in the Mathale district of the central province of Sri Lanka.Normally there is a cool weather all around the year.Even though this is not the wettest part of the island it is lot more similar to the other parts of the central highlands of Sri Lanka.These mountains just look like the mountains in Nuwara Eliya which is the wettest part of Sri Lanka which I was talking about before, but the difference is the weather here is not as cooler as it is in Nuwara Eliya.The unique thing about this journey is you will get a strong breeze all the way to the top of the mountain.This is a paradise for someone who studies about flora and fauna as this area is high in bio diversity.You will see numerous types of birds and small animals.The small waterfalls you will regularly come across until you get to the top add a beauty to your journey.The mini world's end is the one of the highlights of this tour.

SRI PAADAYA
Sri Pada (also Adam's peak; Sinhalese Samanalakanda - සමනළ කන්ද "butterfly mountain"), is a 2,243 metres (7,359 ft) tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka. It is well known for the Sri Pada "sacred footprint", a 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) rock formation near the summit, in Buddhist tradition it is held to be the footprint of the Buddha, in Hindu tradition that of Shiva and in Muslim and Christian tradition that of AdamThe mountain is located in the southern reaches of the Central Highlands, in the Ratnapura district of the Sabaragamuwa Province - lying about 40 km northeast of the city of Ratnapura. The surrounding region is largely forested hills, with no mountain of comparable size nearby. The region along the mountain is a wildlife reserve housing many species varying from elephants to leopards, and including many endemic species.
Access to the mountain is possible by 6 trails (Ratnapura-Palabaddala, Hatton-Nallathanni, Kuruwita-Erathna, Murraywatte, Mookuwatte & Malimboda). Out of these the Nallathanni & Palabaddala routes are the most popular. Kuruwita-Erathna road is somewhat popular as well. The other 3 roads are almost obscure. It joins the Palabaddala road midway through the ascent. Buses connect the final nodes of Nallanthanni to Hatton, Palabaddala to Ratnapura & Erathna to Kuruwita. Thereafter it's a difficult journey through the forest on foot. Most of the pilgrims use Hatton route as the journey on foot can be reduced by more than five kilometers even though the slope of this route is much greater than other routes.
