Very good destination to travel.Road is not good for cars.Four wheel vehicles are good for travel.from teldeniya to meemure normaly take 3 hour to travel.
Good place to camping.Also you can taste sri lankan natural kithul raa..lot of places available for swiming
Love this place, such a wonderful experience. Reaching there is a challenge, Hunnasgiriya to mimure campsite around 35km, from the camp site to mimure town its 6 km , which is totally offroad track, Camp guides are friendly and on alert. Add some unforgettable memories to your life.. There are few events organized by the camp guiders, going through slippery rock, jumping from 15 feet depth waterfall and 25 feet depth waterfall. You can enjoy lunch served from a village house. Treacle and juggery available at small shops in mimure
Ideal destination for hiking. 😍👌
Nice place but,
The locals have turned the place to a business. They will not allow outside people to camp.
You will have to hire someone from the villege. Even if you hire a guide from a neighboring villege, they might not allow you to camp there.
Only thing left to see is the river and you can have a nice bath thats all.
Better to hire a vehicle from hunnasgiriya as the road requires a familiar driver.
