Alagall Exploration

We had another remarkable event on last Week. That was the Alagalla Exploration. Our team, about 25 members went to Poththapitiya by bus from the University. We were lucky enough to hike on a picture-perfect day in january when the visibility was near 100% at the top of the mountain. The climate was perfect. Time was around 10 AM, when we start the Exploration. The whole trip, including a leisurely picnic at the top, took us two hours. We made our path back to University after having some fun time on top of the mountain peak.

I attended to a exploration after about 4 or 5 months and wanted to let you know readers what a pleasure it was to work with exploration(Hiking) and with UEC members.If you'll be able to join with UEC for a one hike, I'm sure you'll definitely recommend UEC to people looking for a society in the university of Peradeniya.

Sorry, I couldn't bring a camera with me. If I'll be able to collect some photos, I'll definetely attach theme here..

Orrientation Programe 2008

Fortunately I was able to participate Orrientaion programe held on last week at the University ground. This is the largest event which UEC members organize in a hike season. Lot of things to tell about orrientation programe.
This event is organized for School children who are willing to explore the nature and do adventure works. Actually this is a hiking competition for school children. This time about 70 school teams (about 800 childrens) were attended to this event. And another thing...

In the programe, they also make participate for the hiking competition and allow them to move with other students. All participants can be done events organized and add marks for their team.

With the start of new academic year 2008/2009 They(UEC, commitee for hike season 2008/2009) will organize events(hikes) in near future. A new commitee will be commenced in near future becase the past commitee have to be resigned now. Join with the explorers and have the best expeariance in university life.

Who are the explorers

There was few undergraduates at the university of Peradeniya who was willing to have adventure experiance in 36 years before this. At the time there was an accident at near to Ginigathhena. Then imediately they went to see that incident. There after they got used to explore mountains and waterfalls in their free times. As Dr. Herath says, that was the establishment of the University Explorers Club in Peradeniya .
Now there are more than 1000 peoples all over the world who got the membership in the Club. And now University Explorers Club(UEC) is the most active society in the university.
There are 15 peaples who are organizing those events and those are called as commitee. They organizes a hike or any event in every weekends during a hike season. A hike season may be 7 or 8 months. So I could spend my free times at the university time with UEC people and could attend to about 25 events.

Proud to be a Exporers and graduate in University of Peradeniya
