Manipal Academy of Higher Education( MAHE)
conducts a  'Giving' drive for the victims of the floods in Kerela. All the essentials contributed by the students will be going directly to the flood relief camp for the people to consume it.

Kerela is one of the most beautiful state in India. It is known for it's diversity, scenic beauty and overwhelming environment. It is now facing severe crisis. It has been terribly affected by the flood which has led to the devastation of people's life and has crippled the state economy. We all have witnessed whenever and wherever there is an upheaval caused  by a natural disaster, entire world has joined hand in hand to empower the affected people. Keeping this in mind, students of all the college's under MAHE are contributing the essential to be sent to the flood relief camp in Kerela. All the students are voluntarily taking part in this moment by whatever they could and how much ever they can contribute.

What people in relief camp are waiting for is not a donation of money but for the basic essentials of life they are deprived of. Money is no more any value to them. Students are gathering the essential materials such as new clothes, new footwear's, toilataries, food items such as rice , sugar , dal , oil; etc.  The students here are showing great enthusiasm for such noble cause .

All the commodity collected will be going to  Wayanad through a truck from Manipal itself. We all should pray for the speedy recovery of the state and for the people stuck in those relief camp.

You too can also contribute for the victims who are waiting for some hope. Let's be a reason for someone's smiles. Who knows tomorrow we may find ourselves in their situation.

Through the video given below you can know how you can make a difference in their life.

Due to the geographical location of Ella in the highlands of the central part of this island country the most convenient way to reach this majestic destination is through the train journey from the Colombo Fort station which is the main station of the country capital Colombo.

You get to see big trees passing through you on both the sides of the railway tracks. You can see the trees and bushes all over as the train moves in the interior parts of the forest which are of various diversities. These forests are full of natural vegetation.

As the time progresses we get to realize that we have entered the mountainous regions. From the window and door of the train you witness beautiful scenic beauty of mountains, rocks, natural vegetation. The trees are so attractive and seems to be waving by the wind in such a rhythm that its influence will get your heart beat audible to your ears. Seeing this magnificent view with your heart beat audible to your ears makes you a captive of the environment. If you are not travelling in a first class AC compartment you get to breathe the most freshest oxygen ever inhaled by your lungs. You will automatically start inhaling more and more of the fresh oxygen and will allow the breeze in the environment to enter your mouth by keeping them wide open. When you see the beautiful view from the door or window of the train you will definitely remember the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost and now realize how difficult it would have been for that person not to stop and admire the beautiful forest and to carry on with his journey.

As the train journey proceeds you get to witness more and more of marvellous scenery which struck your heart at a single glance. Your eyes will get more wider to capture all it can witness through the window and door's of the train. The entire train journey will be full of never-ending scenery with a different view.

Despite the long journey the fresh air when touches your skin will revive energy back to your soul. You will never realise the duration of your journey and would want never to end it.

When the train passes through the Kandy we realise that we are in-between the mountains and have reached a high altitude. You also start to feel cooler and may close your windows. It is very much essential to carry winter clothes in your bag as you may require them for sure from now onwards. The view has become more awesome. You are now carrying your mobile and camera in your hand and capturing the beautiful scenic beauty of the mountains. As you are now in a very high altitude you get to have a view of the valleys below the mountains. There are farms, grasslands and houses which you witness inclined vertically downwards. You get to see the the high mountains touching the clouds. You get to see the tea plantation farms. With the every moment of the train moving upward there is a decline in temperature. You now get to see great depressions with green mountains all around you and also witness several waterfalls. Seeing the waterfall in between the two mountains with the environment full of green trees is definitely a treat to your eyes



Journey to Ella through the remote areas of Sri Lanka, semi- urban areas, dense forests, down the mountains, between the mountains, around the mountains and numerous scenic beauty which refreshes your soul everytime you capture them through your eyes will be the most memorable part of Sri Lanka.
