Travel promotes brain health and there are benefits to the brain functioning.
Science has recently shown that the adult brain can form new neural connections but, obviously, this works like everything else, if you want to have biceps of steel, then you must train hard at the gym. Nowadays, we all know that brain training games can fight the ravages of aging video games designed to improve memory). All this results from what is known as “brain plasticity”, the ability of the nervous system to undergo structural and functional changes throughout life, in response to different environmental stimuli.
MANIQUE GUNARATNE CREATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO A GROUP OF PERSONS WITH DIVERSE DISABILITIES TO VISIT THE ADISHAM BANGALOW IN BADULLA DISTRICT IN AUGUST 2022.
The Adisham Bungalow was once the country house of Sir Thomas Lester Villiers, but today it houses the Adisham Monastery of the St. Benedict. Found just 3km away from Haputale town, the Adisham Bungalow is one of the most picturesque corners in the region.
Sir Thomas Villiers spared no expense when it came to his home, but what’s even more splendid than the actual house is its surroundings. Adisham Bungalow is perched on the edge of a cliff which is flanked by a larger outcrop fringed with tall pine trees, which somehow dwarf the house. The country home also has a wonderful view of the Uva valley, as well as a beautiful garden and orchard that you can stroll through.
