Fed up being on Sealevel? Climb the Uppuveli-Hill and explore the real Uppuveli-village!
Put your flip-flops or sneakers on, grab your cam and suncream...Ready you are!
This walk starts at the Northest bus stand of Uppuveli at the Nilaveli-Road.
Take the Kanniya-Road and walk inland for about 300 meters. Turn left and climb up the dirt road.
After fifteen minutes you reach the top plateau. Enjoy the stunning 360 degrees-view, the slight breeze and the odor of peppermint rising up from the scarcely growing vegetation this rosy limestone. The only tree up here will provide you with shade if needed.
Two tridents are posed here under this tree, supposedly for sacrifice purposes.
Climb down on the western side of the hill. You might awake some sleepy dogs and lizards, but since your the biggest and most courageous animal here you don't have to be afraid.
Get in the road on top of the hill chain and walk all straight inland. Most of the house owners here protect their property from unwanted eyes by corrugated metal. The dogs are numerous.
You will see the water tower from far, head to it. From there you have a great view over the Uppuveli lagoon and the hinterland.
Let yourself get lost in the streets of this part of the Uppuveli village. Talk with kiosk vendors. Observe the women crowding around a fish seller's bike, looking for the tastiest options. Find the funniest wall painting. Join a cricket game with some curious Uppuveli-boys.
And don't miss out the small, but beautiful Hindu-temple at the school road, between lane 7 and 9. unimpressive from outside, but the colorful decorated anthill is fantastic.
Take any road that leads you back to the Nilaveli road or go for the main and tarred road, called Puliyankulam Main Road.
Once back at the Nilaveli road, turn left and have breakfast, lunch or dinner at "Rinu Traders" for the friendliest staff, and best and cheapest food in village!
