Nestled in the mystic Sri Lankan countryside, 10.5 km (10 Minutes) from the Habarana town, Galkadawala is a FOREST HOMESTAY consisting of 2 treehouse like bungalows. 1st Bungalow consists of 3 rooms and 2nd Bungalow has 2 rooms. Each room can be made into double, twin, triple or family room as required. All rooms are with attached bathrooms, electricity, hot water, large canopy type mosquito nets (for an insect free sleep), fans, Wi-Fi and a comprehensive library on Sri Lankan culture, history and wildlife. Galkadawala, was discovered in 2006, a land deforested and destroyed by chena (slash and burn) cultivation. Our aim was to transform this barren patch to a jungle habitation; creating a haven for guests to enjoy in a setting where MAN AND NATURE LIVE IN HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER; in which ANIMALS, BIRDS, REPTILES AND INSECTS ALSO HAVE THEIR DUE PLACE. Galkadawala, is constructed mainly by reusing “used building materials” like used timber, doors, windows, bricks, roofing tiles, even discarded industrial trunking. Consumption of power has been reduced considerably by sensitive use of natural light and ventilation for cooling. The ‘open concept’ of architectural design offers the guests a very deep connection with nature. Guests should be open minded to accept various creatures inside as well as outside, since it is their habitat and we are the guests. Forest pathways, the network of waterways and lakes surrounding Galkadawala is ideal for trekking or bird watching. Visit popular heritage sites and also sites unknown to tourists of the ‘Cultural Triangle’. Experience nature at its best in the dry zone of Sri Lanka unhindered. Learn to cook like a local. Or just get under a tree and relax : ) We offer discounted rates to "OFF SEASON" TOURISTS, APRIL TO JUNE AND SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER, WHEN GALKADAWALA IS AT ITS BEST ... for seekers of peace, tranquillity and solitude : ) Please check the availability of rooms with me via Airbnb mail even if the calendar shows fully booked. I have 7 listings under Airbnb for the 6 rooms and the campsite with the treehouse at Galkadawala.
