Visit to Hummanaya 😍

Hummana is a wonderful creation made by nature on the South Coast which is popular among Sri Lankans as well as foreigners. Also known as the 'Karijjamala' in the southern dialect, this place has a beautiful view.  The 184 km post on the Matara - Hambantota road belongs to Nakulugamuwa. From Nakulugamuwa turn off the main road to reach the beach about 1.5 km away.  The sea water flows underneath the shore, and then comes out of this hole due to pressure. The water fountain created by the geological feature shoots up every couple of minutes, depending on the nature of the sea, with the spray often reaching as high as 25 m  to 30 m . With the high pressure of the ocean waves, a continuous "hum" is heard before it spreads out, so that the hum-singing becomes a breath. Known to be the second largest in the world and the largest in Sri Lanka.  It's a sight to behold.  There is an opinion among the villagers that shouting, hooting and clapping near the breath increase the activity of the breath.  However, it is our responsibility to ensure that this precious gift of nature is not destroyed by plastic, non-perishable waste💯.
