I went my brothers’ home in Nuwara Eliya for spent my short two days holiday. First day was boring at home, So younger brother (Bubby) proposed to go some journey. At once I agree with him. He promised me definitely go somewhere next day. According to that we decided to climb the “Leopard Rock”. If it was randomly gone travel but it was amazing journey on my hiking memory book. I would thankful very much to my dear Bubby to propose this.
Bubby said we should go early at about 8.00 am, but I know well he never gets up on that time. :-). However we left at about 9.30 am with taken the breakfast. The guide who was our companion came to the town and waiting for us by that. Then we joined with him and our journey was started.
We walked along the way near the Andrews’ hotel upward and entered to the forest from that. The first portion of the footpath was cleared. The way was slippery because of the rain of early day. So our walk was slow. It was a great solace to walk way without leeches’ attack.
The whole environment was felt wet. We felt that as we were in Greenland. We had no words to describe that beauty & fresh sceneries and feeling. I tried to bring that feeling for you by my camera corners. But I don’t know how long I was succeeded. It will decide by you…
Although we walked whole the day, felt not any tired. Because inside of the forest had very cool weather. We could reach top of the rock at about 1.00pm. Mist was covered everywhere by that. While we climb to top we could scene the bottom sometime. We felt the mist as our wish at the top of leopard rock. After that we started to come back again with feel sad. We had hurried because early also had rain fall in the evening. We could reach bottom at about 4.00pm. Mist was completely swallowed the top of the leopard rock by that.
I would thank both of you very much to my loving brother Buby & his friend as our guide to success this journey well. And also thanking you very well for read my report.
