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
