Hirikatuoya

You might have herd the name of Belihul-oya, but not Hirikatu-oya. You might have seen Belihul-oya, but not Hirikatu-oya. You might have visited Belihul-oya, but not Hirikatu-oya. You may love to Belihul-oya, but not Hirikatu-oya. Because you don’t know what is Hirikatu-oya and you have not visited it yet.
Hirikatu-oya also called as Hirigandu-oya, which create a mental picture in your mind for having cold and freezing water. However, once you stepped in to the water, you will not be able make you stop love to that lovely and virgin river. However, the object of this assignment is not to introduce Hirikatu-oya as a viable tourist destination hence, already it is being used by the local tourists for washing and bathing purposes. But no one has seen the upper part of the Hirikatu-oya neither experienced that path except for the villagers.
Therefore, throughout my assignment, I intend to introduce a walk through Hirikatu-oya to its origin place, which takes few hours and which is really hard. So that all tourists will not be able to visit the upper part of the Hirikatu-oya except for healthy and capable tourists who seek for an adventural and a novel experience. The walk through Hirikatu-oya will be a viable plan because many activities can be added to increase the tourists’ attraction to Hirikatu-oya.
The accessibility is convincing, and the route is safe although it is more or less adventurous. In addition to that tourists will be able to explore the flora and fauna of the Hirikatu-oya. Hirikatu-oya has its own set of rich flora and fauna and therefore the walk to the upper side of the river also is an educational visit if the tourists are willing to study.
Further, we can practice the community based tourism in the upper side of the river with the help of villagers who are living in the upper side of the river bank. Both Sinhala and Tamil cultures can be touched through this walk. Therefore this may help to enhance the living standard of the people who living there.
