Meemure

Paddy fields in the Meemure Village

Meemure is a village in Sri Lanka with a population of about 400. It is located near the border between Kandy District and Matale District in the Knuckles Mountain Range. Meemure is one of the most remote villages in Sri Lanka with the only access via a 14 km (8.7 mi) trail from the town of Loolwatte. There is no direct mail delivery to the village; a villager journeys each day to Thapal Junction (literally meaning Mail Junction) to exchange incoming and outgoing postal mail with a postman.

Route to Meemure


Following are some of pictures taken of breath taking views, while travelling to Meemue from Loolwatta:

    Some facts about Lakegala. It is also said that King Ravana met Sita besides Lakegala rock which is considered to be the capital of Lankapura.

    This is one of my favourite trip destinations. Wanna visit there again. Anyway, on the way to meemure from hunnasgiriya, there are several trails you can try, such as Dothalugala Mountain and Corbets Gap. Those are very nice places. You can find accomodation in Kobonila Village on the way.
