Lonely Hills - Buluthota

Decided to explore the lonely hills of Buluthota during the holidays of week 50. Sri Lanka is considered as a flat island with most of its surface is between 30 and 200 meters above sea level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Sri_Lanka), center is a highland surrounded by ridges and valleys.
Buluthota is a loneny small (compared to the center) situated in the south west of the center. One border of the Sinharaja rain forest is this mountain range. Even though this is a very nice part of the country due to lack of development of the infrastructure still this area is not famous among the tourists.
