Forest Lake

Forest Lake

                    Mahiyanganaya , Sri Lanka is one of the significant places to visit is Sri Lanka but yet it was under the radar of both local and foreign tourists , but that doesn't reduced a bit of the natural beauty of the place. As for me I went there for 3-4 days as accepting a invitation from a local friends who lives in mahiyanganaya,
The journey begins from colombo , and we catch a bus at about 10.00 pm and started to travel during the night time , whole bus ride took 5-6 hours but should say it's not a pleasant one , but in the early morning we reached the destination. And their hospitality is so amazing !!!
I'm not much intend to write much details about the journey but it's the Lake that mesmerized me through out the time I spent there , it's named “Naga deepa lake “ and the little mountain forest which near the lake is also an amazing work of nature .


The whole village is so much depend on the lake and it's their main source of water for vegetation during the dry season . 

they mostly grow rice and corn , corn is arguably the main food in the whole village , their affinity to corn is astonishing, they know thousand and one things to do with corn , and we enjoyed some of the finest home made corn meals too ,

Wild life

Because of the large surrounded forest and the lake , and also due to lack of human activity , wild animals live freely among the lake banks and near by forest , and both the wild animals and the villagers live side by side peacefully.




Forest

The whole lake is surrounded by a heavily grown forest which has some unique character-tics to it's own mainly it's more likely to be fall under  both Riverine Dry Forests/Lowland Rain Forest in Sri Lanka , and can find small rock mountains stand along separately in the forest and one noticeable fact is that all those small rocky mountains looks so similar therefore travelling along in the forest could lead to possibility of losing track among the woods , and also there are some awesome caves under those rocky mountains which are naturally crafted on those huge rocks .
