Riverstone

Riverston gap was located in the middle of Rattota – Pallegama road and it was the summit of the same. Being located in a windy gap on a range of scenic mountains with frequently changing climate, Riverston was highly popular with local travelers. The climate was changed in every minute. Sometimes it brought little sun rays. Sometime a tiny rain with cool wind. But most of the time we were wrapped with a mist. Really that was an amazing experience.
