Meemure – Paradise hamlet in Central Highlands<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

By Arundathie Abeysinghe<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ms.Located about 324 meters above sea level among verdant vistas, cascading waterfalls, terraced paddy fields, misty spectacular mountains, Meemure is an isolated paradise hamlet in the *Central Province with a population of about 400 people, away from modern day civilization.<\/span><\/p>\n

With exceptional natural beauty, magnificent fragrant wild flowers, arecanut (Areca catechu<\/em>) and kithul<\/em> trees (Caryota urens<\/em>), reed bushes and cattle grazing in home gardens, eco friendly houses made of clay and spear grass, boundaries of houses as well as lands demarcated by stone-ridges with stones piled neatly, wooden fences leading to large home-gardens with rock stones as steps to reach the houses, this highland hamlet is a serene paradise nestled among breathtaking mountains. One boundary of Meemure is marked by the gently flowing Karambaganga Ela<\/em> (Ela<\/em> meaning stream in Sinhala).<\/span><\/p>\n

The hamlet is encompassed by scenic pyramid shaped *Lakegala Mountain from the east, picturesque *Knuckles Mountain Range from the west, Heen Ganga<\/em> (ganga<\/em> meaning River in Sinhala) to south and to north a forest spreading towards *Pitawala Pathana grassland.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to folklore, Meemure received its name from the abundant Mee<\/em> trees (Madhuca longifolia)<\/em> in the village.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Located near the border of *Kandy and *Matale Districts and situated approximately 50 kilometers from Kandy City and about 175 kilometers from Colombo, the only access to Meemure is via a 14 kilometer trail from Loolwatte in the *Hunnasgiriya Mountain Range, a part of Knuckles Mountain Range. This picturesque village became a popular tourist destination after the screening of the Sinhala movie \u201cSooriya Arana\u201d which was filmed in breathtaking Meemure.<\/span><\/p>\n

As there is no direct mail delivery to Meemure, a villager travels daily to Thepal<\/em> Junction or Mail Junction situated on a hill (Thepal <\/em>meaning mail in Sinhala), to exchange incoming and outgoing postal mail with a postman from the nearby Post Office. As there are no telecommunication or cellular facilities, postal service is the only mode of communication for villagers in the remote hamlet.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to folklore, the village dates to over 5000 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Meemure<\/p>\n

There are many streams flowing through Meemure originating from the Knuckles Mountain Range, catchment areas of water supply to the village.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meemure is a breathtaking nature paradise with endemic fauna and flora; home to over 130 species of birds with 10 migrant species and 20 endangered species, 25 species of freshwater fish with 8 endemic and 7 endangered and 20 species of amphibians with over 12 endemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegetation of Meemure is similar to Knuckles Mountain Range with lowland semi-evergreen forests to Montana forests.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is only one tiny shop in Meemure, similar to shops known as \u201cGame Kade<\/em>\u201d (meaning Village Shop, located in many remote villages in Sri Lanka) for villagers to buy essentials such as salt and sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Residents of Meemure are farmers and they cultivate paddy, a major livelihood. As the staple diet of residents is rice, paddy cultivation is essential for villagers. In addition to paddy cultivation, villagers are engaged in *chena<\/em> cultivation as well as pepper and ginger cultivation. The crops planted by villagers are sold to bargain-hunters from *Hunnasigiriya, the nearest village to Meemure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until 2004, the only mode of transport to Meemure was pack-bulls. Earlier, the road leading to Meemure was a footpath. At present, it has been widened, but not yet carpeted with certain places in a rugged condition. With the advent of new transport methods, trishaws, jeeps and trailers are used to transport goods to the hamlet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meemure is a fine example of sustainable tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

As villagers of Meemure lead a simple unsophisticated lifestyle, it is necessary for tourists to respect their lifestyle while touring the village.<\/span><\/p>\n
