Tripped ‘Outstation’

“Abyss” – A Smoker’s Research Trip

Since the 9th of November Ia??ve been out of my mind so much ita??s insane. From one intoxication to another, bouncing around different locations, I still cana??t believe it. Smoking pretty much every strain of grass available in this country, from KG to Manali hash to Ukraine skunk, ita??s nuts.

The other day we headed off to Mirissa and stopped by at Hikka on the way. We never thought the grass we bought would be so good till we smoked it and found it hard to get off the bed. Mirissa was just mindblowing, just like the first time. This time was better since we got boogie boards and pretty good treatment from the guys at the Surf Bar. Ia??ve even got myself a Continue reading ‘Smoker’s Research Trip to AbaY’

From West Coast to East Coast (Exploring Kumana National Park)

Published on 16/11/2010 in Blogs, front page, people, Traveler's Reports and wild life. 1 Comment

Lakdasun explores Arugam Bay. Panama and Kumana National Park.
With excellent, unique photos attached.

"Never seen a more beautiful beach thanPanama"

With the reopening of the Kumana national park early this year it had been on our priority list for quite some time and finally we managed to make that dream come true. The camp sites were booked more than three months in advance as there is no other accommodation south of Arugam Bay. Wildlife department is trying to rebuild the destroyed circuit bungalows and hopefully we will get to use them before long.

Having never been to the east coast before, we wanted to have a glimpse of the rising sun from the east coast and planned the trip so that we will be at Pottuvil by sunrise. So we left Colombo late night at 10.30PM and drove through the night via the Beragala route. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Beragala junction the road via Koslanda to Wellawaya was closed for repairs and the detour took us to Haputale, Bandarawela, Ella and then to Wellawaya. We lost a good part of an hour due to this detour and the sun was already rising as we passed Lahugala. Continue reading ‘From West Coast to East Coast (Exploring Kumana National Park)’

My favorite place? Is Arugam Bay

Published on 14/11/2010 in Blogs, Facebook Fan Club: Arugam Surf, front page, people and Traveler's Reports. 0 Comments

I have decided that Arugam Bay is, so far, my favorite place in Sri Lanka. A?The first day I arrived, I took a long walk on the beach and on the way back, the sun was starting to set.

Arugam Bay Beach. file photo arugam.info

If I believed in God, (not sure), I would be convinced that I had witnessed the gates of heaven opening. A?I have never seen anything as magnificent as the sun rays going up toward the sky and the clouds outlined in gold. A?The picture does it no justice but of course I didn’t have my camera with me!d so my friend took the picture but a moment late. A?The sunrises were almost equal. A?(All the pictures are on Facebook and Snapfish if anyone wants to see them.)

I am quite fortunate with my work these days, not because I am doing so much but because I don’t seem to have Continue reading ‘My favorite place? Is Arugam Bay’

THE RETURN OF JULES

The Sri Lankan Airlines QS event at Arugam Bay marked the return to competition for Julian Wilson, the first time he’d paddled out in a heat since severely injuring his ankle and concentrating on his much hyped film, Scratching The Surface. With the video all but in surf shops and his foot back to full strength he brought home the trophy, beating 19 year-old Amrican Nat Young in long clean right handers. He spoke to SW from California, preparing for the U.S open at Huntington.

SW: First of all, congrats on the win. We’re all stoked for you. How’d it feel to get back into a competition rashie?
JW: It felt really good to be competing and it felt even better to bring a rashie home with me because that meant I won.

What were your expectations going into the contest?
Any event I go to I have high expectations on myself. I went to Sri Lanka really wanting a win and put that pressure on myself from day one, it felt good to follow it through.

The waves looked fun, the culture interesting. What’s Sri Lanka like as a contest destination?
As a contest destination I was really impressed with the wave. When you go somewhere for a contest its a lot different to going to film or shoot photos there. As long as the competition spot has decent waves and you are comfortable and happy then its all good, that was the case. Continue reading ‘2010 Surf Champion Julian remembers Arugam Bay’

Kumana a?? The bird paradise

Published on 09/11/2010 in Blogs, front page, Historical sites, people, Traveler's Reports and wild life. 0 Comments

A brilliant trip report by Danushka of Lakdasun to Arugam Bay and nearby Kumana. Scoll down for some amazing photos!

It was a long weekend ahead of us, just 3 days left before it. We still havena??t had any clue on what to expect. One of my friends was repeatedly calling for Wilpattu, but I was disappointed after my last visit there. Wilpattu is yet to rehabilitate, that was my opinion. But since everyone was calling for it I joined them. At this point we received a bad news from Wilpattu, Bad but it was good for me ;) it was raining there.

As soon as we got to know about this we checked on other available options. Yala is my favorite place on earth, but since it is a long weekend Yala must be crowded. We decide at least we should let those animals live in peace. The only option left was Kumana, The Yala East National Park which is famous for its birds and, none of us had ever been there. Even though it was the beginning of the bird migration season we decided to go there. After struggling a bit we managed to book a campsite and start our journey toward the birds paradise.

We started from Colombo around 9PM on Thursday. Continue reading ‘Kumana a?? The bird paradise’

Arugam Bay: Riding High on waves to Recovery

It may be a sleepy village but Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka is a great place to get some winter sun and hit the surf. How much estrogen is in alesse 28

Arugam is also a traditional fishing Bay

You must move, it will charge,a?? shouts a tuk-tuk driver as the elephant goes out of view to my right. Besides the threat of stampeding wild elephants, therea??s a lot to take in on the A4 to Arugam Bay on Sri Lankaa??s war-torn, tsunami-battered east coast. The road itself is being rebuilt and a hangover from 25 years of the civil war, which ended last May, means every road in the country is peppered with military outposts, roadblocks and army personnel.

Sri Lanka’s best Surf spot. Is Arugam Bay

But Arugam Bay is shining a light for better things to come on the countrya??s untouched east coast. The colourful jumble of guest houses, cabanas and shops have been built and rebuilt. The slogans on some T-shirts state a??The Birth Of A Surfing Nationa?? but any Aussie surfer will tell you this point break has been a boarder mecca for years.

A tractor belonging to the suspects had also been taken into police custody. Residents of the area had complained that various groups had cleared a large stretch of land belonging to the Lahugala forest reserve for cultivation and they called on the government to take action to stop the destruction of the forest.

Officers of the wild life offices in Lahugala and Baduluwela were involved in the operation to arrest the suspects while the Civil Defence Force provided backup.

This fair will be a great boon to farmers in the Hulannuge, Lahugala, Korullanpokuna, Masavva, Panama, Ragamvela and Veveyaya areas.

Eastern Province Education Transport, Land Development and Cultural Affairs Minister Wimalaweera Dissanayake said the fair will act as a mode for farmers to sell their produce.

Maize, Chilli, green gram and brinjal, ground nut are cultivated in a large way in the Lahugala Divisional Secretariat. These cultivations have a ready made market at the Paanama fair.

Another long delay between posts a?? must get into the habit of blogging more frequently! In our defence, Stu and I have been on full-time tour guide duty recently, first hosting our friend John from London for a fortnight and then my parents for just over a week.

They don’t like cricket… they love it!

Ita??s been great having the opportunity to catch up with news from home (not to mention getting a vital resupply of gin and books). Wea??ve done a fair bit of touring around the country, along with showing off some of the sights that Arugam Bay has to offer. Wea??re both really loving being here right now and having people here to go ooh and aah at the beautiful beaches and great food has reinforced just how lucky we are.

Arugam Bay: Sri Lanka's Surf Capital

Ia??m sitting in the back of a rather bespoke mini-van: fur lines the floor, stickers speckle the ceiling, and Boney M rocks the stereo. The car has already been stopped by the police twice a?? though not for the crazy interior. Rather, Ia??m in Colombo, heading from the airport to the train station, and, 16 months after the end of the civil war, police stops are as much a part of getting around as horns and dodging stray dogs. My destination? Arugam Bay, the countrya??s surfing capital. Ia??ve tried the sport in Dubai, though not mastered it, mainly due to the flatness of the Gulf a?? as well as the early starts. Instead of hiring a limo a?? an affordable option, no less a?? Ia??ve chosen to brave the 10-hour train journey from Colombo right to Arugam on the east coast.

My first lesson to impart: book ahead. Continue reading ‘My destination? Arugam Bay, the countrya??s surfing capital’
