St.Claire's waterfalls and environment, Hatton, Sri Lanka.

'How green is the valley'. The different shades of green with the constantly changing landscape - the effect of sunlight and mist is a delight to watch. You always find peace and serenity if you linger awhile.

The Rest House at Kithulgala on the road to Nuwara Eliya has a long history. It had its days of glory when David Lean chose this as a base during the filming of the movie 'The Bridge over the River Kwai'. They built a bridge over the river close by and ran a steam locomotive with carriages, over the bridge. The train was blown up over the bridge using explosive charges. The whole scene was covered by more than six movie cameras. The production was a box office draw.
