A branch of milky way

 ABERDEEN FALLS

It is simply 98m high and seems like falling down to earth from the sky.White water coming down from 300+ feet height spreading mist everywhere. This picturesque waterfall on the Kehelgamu oya is Aberdeen falls which belongs to Ambatale Pradeshia Saba and situated in Nuwara eliya district.

Myself, Hansani, Dinesha, Nethmi and Ann  went to Aberdeen falls recently to enjoy the scenic beauty and the serenity of nature. The owner of the 'Mystic falls Bunglow' where we seeked for accommodation arranged a terrific boat ride into the falling water of Aberdeen falls. Once we were underneath the fall we feel like the chilly waters are pouring down to earth from the milky way.

We had to climb down through a forestry area for a half kilometer to reach the majestic water fall. A gang of youngster were having a bath when we reach there. Our guide said that this green colour water pool can be lethal to visitors who often consume liquor before getting down in the water.

We spent the entire day time beneath the majestic waterfall having a chilled bath at a small and harmless water basin. The time was around 6 o' clock when we reach the Mystic falls banglow and had a delicious late lunch with fried rice, fish ambul thiyal, boiled vegetables, fried chicken and potato curry.

We promised each other of our crew to come back again to Aberdeen falls knowing that we have to obey the call of the beauty of the nature.☘
