Our special attractions
- We are more than a hotel, a holiday home, or a guest house. We
offer a space to "be" and to "become".
We are
located just beside Udawattekelle forest, just 10 minutes' walk from
the city.
- Well bath – for those who want a fresh water bath in an open-air
bathing space – for cool invigorating "baths" with a bucket and rope! A
well bath is not a wash to get clean... it is an invigorating water
confrontation!
- Wildlife - monkeys, porcupine, mouse deer, birds, and chipmunks
visit the garden - but only if you are quiet!
