Description
Adisham Hall, or Adisham Bungalow is a country house near Haputale, in the Badulla District, Sri Lanka. At present, it houses the Adisham monastery of Saint Benedict. It has a relic (a chip of a bone) of St. Sylvester at the chapel.
The house was built in 1931 by an English aristocrat and planter Sir Thomas Villiers, former Chairman of George Steuart Co, a trading and estate agency based in Colombo. Sir Thomas was a grandson of Lord John Russell and descendant of the Dukes of Bedford. Named after Adisham, it was designed by R. Booth and F. Webster in Tudor and Jacobean style, on 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. Adisham Hall played host to many prominent personalities of the colony until the retirement of Sir Thomas, after which it was sold to Sedawatte Mills owned by Vimala Wijewardene in 1949. In 1961 it was purchased by the Roman Catholic Church and was subsequently converted to a monastery. The house is well preserved along with its period fittings and furniture, and is open to visitors.

This impressive 100m-high Dunsinane fall (Pundalu Oya Ella) cascades in a spectacular sequence of steps before flowing... to the Pundalu Oya (river), the Kotmale River and finally the Kotmale Reservoir. The nearest town is Pundalu Oya. This waterfall is also known as Dunsinane Falls, Dunsinan-Sheen Falls, Dansinanshin Falls, Pundalu Oya Ella.This waterfall lies between 2 tea plantations Dunsinan on on side and Sheen Estate on the other. Therefore this water fall is called Dunsinane Falls joining both names.The waterfall flows in 2 segments bisected by the road bridge. The top segment falls over a wide rocky ledge creating a sheet of water falling a 30 meter drop. This is the only part of the waterfall which can be properly viewed from the bridge. The second part which is approx 70m high lies hidden below the bridge. Due to the steepness of the area going to the bottom of the fall is difficult and area covering the river below has been designated as a high security zone with the Upper Kotmale Project.read more

And also there is a beautiful viewpoint.read more

Worst hotel experience ever had & very disorganized !I'm saying this bcs of following reasons , managment & the crew... is don't know how to treat thier guests mainly . Foods are served are not upto the standard & some are too spicy , some are too salty which not even put into the mouth. Restaurant manager agreed for our complain & served more foods , but our appetite was gone at that time . Not recommend this place to any one who love to travel & food lovers . Bcs your expectations will ruin the team & i feel very sorry for the trade name of "Jetwing" as giving pure service for the money that thier taking .read more
