Meemure inSri Lanka

     So here are some details you may not know about Meemure, the most beautiful village in the Dumbara Valley


         The town of Hunnasgiriya is located on the outer border of the Knuckles Range, on the Kandy-Mahiyangana Pannaradhana road, about 43 km from Kandy towards Mahiyangana.  Meemure, a rural village in the middle of the Knuckles and Dumbara Range, is located about 36 km from the Knuckles Reserve on the left, just off the Pannaradhana Road, just beyond the town of Hunnasgiriya.


 It is also known as the Dumbara Valley as it is foggy most of the day and is also known as Knuckles as it looks like a tough guy with his arms outstretched.

         Although it is the easiest way to reach Meemure village, we can identify two forest roads through Matale-Narangamuwa-Laggala and Hasalaka-Sulugune-Dandenikumbura.  Today, these roads are only a footpath for the villagers due to their difficulty and the fact that they have to walk at least 8 km.

        Although there is no public bus service to Meemure village via the Knuckles Reserve entrance, the van, which runs only twice a day to and from Hunnasgiriya, is a great help to the villagers.

 These are just a few of the villages that anyone on the way from Hunnasgiriya to Meemure will meet on the way.  From Atalavettu today one can see a by road to go to Thangappuwa-Udispattuwa-Teldeniya villages.
        
        As soon as anyone enters the village of Meemure, the first thing they see is the ancient bee tree of Meemure. Lakegala rock can be seen to the north of the village like a giant flag bearer.  To the northwest is the Thunhisgala mountain range, another superior range.  From southwest to south, Meemure overlooks the ash caves.  The rising sun creates a variety of shapes, and as the night draws to a close, fog rises over the mountains.  Kirigal Bark, Gombaniya, Knuckles, Kobonillagala, Dotalu Gala, Kalu Pahana, Vamarapu Gala, Lake Gala, Labu Pelessa Pathana, Dumbona Gala, Gal Kula, Adiri Gala, Yahan Gala etc. are some of the mountains that rise around Mee Murray
    
    Slightly out of the village of Meemure, into the jungle, there are a number of waterfalls cascading down the white ridges.  Galamuduna Ahasgawwa Falls-Kalupahana Pinisilu Falls-Oyabokka Sedamal Falls-Kalukele Galthudu Falls are the main ones.

 The ancient house with a central courtyard made of mud built in Meemure, which was planned to hide from King Rajasinghe during the white invasion of the upcountry, can still be seen here today.  Before the king's arrival, two queens came to Mee Murray for protection, and the thorn bush well built for them to bathe in remains in the village today.  At that time there was a wall with large thorn bushes around this well and it was called 'Thorn bush well'.  Even today the villagers call it the well. King Rajasinghe decided to come to Meemure after carefully planning its security.  Four lanes at the entrance to the village were built for that purpose.  The guards at these places called 'Rupee' were on guard day and night.  Even though everything was planned like that, the king did not get to come to Mee Murray.  Before that, it was heard that King Rajasinghe had been captured by the imperialists.


    
    Meemure Wu Kali is one of the oldest villages in Sri Lanka where about 100 families live.  Like this village which belongs to Ududumbara Divisional Secretariat, we can identify Dandenikumbura, Kaikawala, Galamuduna, Udagala Debokka, the most difficult villages in Kandy District.  Anyone who enters the village can see the beautiful paddy fields cultivated in the Helmalu Kanrama and the Mee Oya or Dimigal Oya which flows down from the top of the hill and enriches the whole village.  The Heen River then descends northeast of the village as a major tributary of the Mahaweli River.  Are special places to get
        The villagers of Mimure are self-sufficient, always smiling genuinely.  The Meemure children stop learning and then leave their parents' handbooks on the paddy fields. 






















        Villages such as Gorakattawa / Ilukhena / Thanahenlanda / Dandenikumbura which may have been on the southeastern slope of the village have now become deserted and the paddy fields of the villagers have now become deserted.  He is an Ayurvedic Doctor. You can experience the beauty and experience of local paddy farming during your visit to Meemure.  Special visitors will also have the opportunity to visit.  The village of Meemure is a great place to enjoy food, especially the Madhu Pittu / Madhu Welitalapa, which is unique to the village, and to get a supply of pure kithul toddy.

 January to May is the busiest time of the year in the village of Meemure, which receives the highest rainfall in the month of December.  The Yaman team is always ready to provide and provide our Sri Lankan scent to our expectations.  As it were.
