"Welcome to a breathtaking journey through Sri Lanka's hidden gems, where nature’s wonders unfold before your eyes 🌿✨. In this documentary, we explore the stunning #riverstone Gap, a key attraction within the Knuckles World Heritage Area 🏞. Known for its awe-inspiring views, the journey to the top of the #mountain takes you through a scenic 2.5 km hike 🚶♂, leading to the iconic transmission tower 🏙, where a vast valley spreads below – a view that will leave you speechless 😲.
The Riverston Peak can be reached by traveling about 30 km from #matale town along the Matale – Hettipola Road via #Illukkumbura 🚗. The hike begins at the Matale Hettipola road, about 27 km from Matale, offering a scenic path through lush greenery 🌳 as you ascend toward the peak 🏔.
But that's just the beginning. Nestled within the #matale district, the Bambarakiri Ella waterfalls 💦 offer a peaceful retreat into nature 🌸. With two majestic falls, one hidden deep in the jungle 🌿 and the other cascading beautifully at a height of 10 meters 🌊, #bambarakiriella is a paradise for #photographers 📸 and #nature lovers alike. A rope bridge 🪢 over the falls enhances the already stunning landscape, but safety is key – swimming is not #advised here 🚫🏊♀.
As you venture through this incredible terrain, keep your eyes open for the elusive Dumbara Horned Lizard 🦎, an endangered species that thrives in the cloud forests of the Knuckles range 🌲. The lizard’s unique horn, resembling a leaf 🍃, is a true marvel of nature. Yet, this incredible creature faces threats from deforestation 🌳❌, climate change 🌡, and illegal trafficking 🚫. Our #documentary sheds light on its fragile existence and the urgent need for conservation 🌍.
Join us as we uncover these incredible sights and sounds 🎥, from the mist-covered peaks of Riverston to the quiet beauty of Bambarakiri Ella. Witness Sri Lanka's biodiversity in its most pristine form, and discover how these natural wonders are interconnected, highlighting the need to preserve our #environment for future generations 🌱."
