Meemure is a remote village in Sri Lanka's Central Province, hidden among the mountains 324 meters above sea level. The only way to get there is via the ‘Hunnasgiriya' mountain, which is part of the Knuckles range and is about 50 kilometers from Kandy. The 33-kilometer trail from Hunnasgiriya to Meemure is difficult, with many tricky spots, but the scenery is spectacular. The village itself receives an abundance of water in the form of waterfalls that originate in the Knuckles' evergreen forests. The pyramid-shaped Lakegala mountain lies east of the village, while the picturesque Knuckles range dominates the west. Meemure is bounded on the north by a forest that runs to the 'Pitawala Pathana' grassland, and on the south by the Heen River. Until 2004, pack-bulls were the only mode of transportation to Meemure. Cattle herds carried sacks of goods and equipment to the village. The pack-bulls were only used to transport salt, cloths, tobacco, and calcium bicarbonate be
