Hi,

we are a of group of young hikers from Thotulagala named Eaglerocks. In a modern form of scavenger hunt we made some trecking tours around Haputale. We have hidden some treasure boxes which you have to find. Modern equipment like GPS navigation, compass and google earth maps are needfull tools to seek and find this caches.

Geomuggles have to become members of www.geocaching.com to take part in this game. There you will find detailed GPS coordinates. And the winner is? Everybody who finds a box. You can write a message in a notebook and trade one of box items against something you like to give. But keep the box where it is.

Eaglerocks wish you to enjoy your stay in Haputale. It´s our idea to present you some of unknown sights like tempels, mountains, tea estates and nature trails. Do you need more information or help? Any problems with one of our boxes? Please come and meet Shirodh, White Monkey, 3-km-post, Dambatenne Road, Thotulagala.
