We were aware that we had booked a glamping site but we never quite expected it to be this close to nature! Living in a tree house with a few hemp or coir curtains and one side completely open, made us a bit nervous on the first day. Well, it took some time to let the reality sink in and we went on to enjoy it! Lovely locale with natural streams nearby. The staff and chef were extremely courteous and genuinely service-oriented. The chef was simply awesome and encouraged us to try the local cuisines. Delicious food every time. Obviously, this place is a bit difficult to reach by normal transport. Either you need to use their SUV or use the local "auto-rickshaw" (tuk-tuk). We were so surprised to see how the tuk-tuk so adventurously navigated the bumps and pits. A bit bumpy ride but that's what you can expect in the wild nature! Good place to stay since you could visit Sigiriya rock or Polonnurwa or other historic sites. Make sure you return to the camp before sunset - heed the advice from the staff. On one evening when we were late, it was absolutely pitch dark and we suddenly encountered a small family of elephants and another single elephant on the way, just a few meters away. The manager who was driving the vehicle was well trained to handle the situation and managed it well, much to our...We were aware that we had booked a glamping site but we never quite expected it to be this close to nature!

If you have time, do take a dip in the beautiful, cold stream beyond the dining hall. How long ago did you take a bath in the natural waters? There is also a nice swing on the other side - which your kids will enjoy.

There is absolute zero connectivity here and no possibilities of any communication with the insane world outside! Unless, you go to the town. You cannot have a better digital detox than this!

Of course, it sounds a bit of pricey. Well, to maintain such a place in its natural environment and at the same time, make it liveable is not easy.

It's once in a life-time experience. Enjoy folks!! Do not miss it.More
