Few weeks ago, I went on a trip to Baker's bend which is located in nonpareil estate, Balangoda town, Rathnapura district in Sri Lanka which is a very beautiful place.Baker's bend is located at a higher elevation than the nonpareil estate with a steep slope. Baker's bend is located nearly 11 km from the nearest village Belihul oya and also with an elevation of 1524 m (5000 feet) above MSL. Baker's bend is a famous place among both local and foreign tourist because of the unique geographical features and the beauty.Baker's bend is also one of the most attractive places in the nonpareil estate as well.

Baker's bend got its reputation because of the amazing horse-shoe curve shape with amazing scenery with a great view.From the Baker's bend you can have the views of Lover's peak (Aadara Kanda), Gommolikanda and Balathuduwa mountains, Samanalawewa and Udawalawa reservoirs.

I accessed the Baker's bend through the nonpareil estate entrance from the main road (Badulla-Haputale-Colombo road).And I travelled with my friend Pramod in the motorcycle.It is a difficult but an enjoying journey even though there were certain difficulties in the roads.Also, our journey was occasionally disturbed by the rain.However, we reached the Baker's bend after 1 hour time.

After reaching Baker's bend, we felt the magnificence of the mother nature. It was a great view along with the sunlight penetrating through the dark clouds adding a greater beauty. Also, the view of sunlight falling on to the mountains was magnificent.We spent nearly 2 hours in the Baker's bend enjoying this unprecedented awesome view.
