Kahatagasdigiliya tank

 We all have an urge to get out of our comfort zone from time to time. But what about people with disabilities?

The world of people with disabilities is unintentionally limited by invisible social barriers which make it more difficult to overcome small obstacles that, for the rest of society, are mere trifles. Thus, when people with disabilities step out of their comfort zone, it is as if invisible walls as high as skyscrapers crumble. It is as if the Great Wall of China stood between a person and his dreams, and suddenly, this person demolished it.

Every small success is greater when achieved with effort and determination. A reinforced self-esteem in the face of adversity is the first and main consequence that traveling has for people with different types of disabilities, even more so if we bear in mind that broadening our horizons means getting out of our daily routine, making new friends, and improving our ability to socialize with others.

Manique Gunaratne gave the opportunity to a group of persons with #disability to enjoy the nice cool breeze of the Kahatagasdigiriya Tank in Anuradhapura district in December 2021.

Kahatagasdigiliya Divisional Secretary's Division of the Anuradhapura District Walking distance of 35.2 km from the Anuradhapura sacred city to the small town center of Kahatagasdigiliya.

There are 293 small and medium scale tanks in the area and the amount of land that is leached is 6.99 km2.

A wire mesh fence runs along green, water-logged grass. Beyond the fence is a large flooded area or lake, with shallow water and patches of vegetation. Trees with thick, twisting branches frame the foreground on both sides and above, with heavy cloud cover and a hint of distant trees on the horizon. The sky looks overcast, hinting at recent or impending rain. The scene is tranquil and lush, evoking a wetland or floodplain environment.
