Ussangoda


Ussangoda,is a small national park in the deep south with reddish soil.the cliffs of Ussangoda lie on 100 hectares in Ambalantota, the parkland,scrub,reddish soil,granite and grassland lie inland on an elevated cliff from the sea.
     The Ussangoda a red cliff,a location  of archaeological value. There is no proper route to access the location as the prevailing path is full of pit holes.
       Situated by the sea with no natural wind-breaks the area in wind blowing and cactus-like plants eg.Karanna,Pathok,Eraminiya plants.the shrubs comprise largely huge cacti with monstrous yellow thorns.
    Mystery of reddish soil.strolling along the breathtaking expanse.I gaze across the sea and the landscape that laps against an inviting beach strip.
       The whole area reveals strange and beautiful colours with an eroding cast  line. Rising over thirty feet in places. Time and weather have left behind layer upon layer of rock and soil. Down the geological ages, nature has carved Ussangoda into fantastic land and mysterious place.
