Galpita Eco Lodge Buttala

When two friends on a pilgrimage to the sacred site of Kataragama, went exploring off the beaten track in south east Sri Lanka, they discovered two large rocks with a natural pool and a waterfall on the banks of the Menik Ganga (Gem River) – and Galapita (on a rock) was born.
 
They began by visiting, sleeping on mats under the stars. Eventually they built a hut, so that their families could join them for the weekends. Then they rebuilt it bigger and better, so that friends could join them for weekend escapes.
 
Now they are proud owners of this Eco-Retreat that can accommodate up to 12 people, depending on how cosy you want to be. Now for the first time, they are allowing paying guests to cross the bridge. Ideal for a group of friends or families with a sense of adventure.  

There is no direct route to Galapita, you must drive down the south coast from Colombo, more than a quarter way around the island, then turn north or else follow the old Arab trader’s route up to Ratnapura (City of Gems) in the hills, then down again crossing forested plains rich in precious stones, mind expanding herbs, exotic birds and descend to Uva Province, home of Sri Lanka’s aboriginal people, the veddhas; and the legendary nittavos very much earlier pygmies.

But Uva was not always back of beyond. There is a wealth of archeological monuments to prove that Uva was a wealthy and highly populated region before Christ.The last leg of the journey to Galapita is through thick jungle. Wild elephants are often seen crossing the road especially at dusk and dawn.

Arugam Bay - Surfer’s Paradise

Arugam Bay is well-known among the serious surfing community, but the perfect wave is only one of its attractions. Sasthrawela, Kudumbigala, Muhudu Maha Vihara, Magul Maha Vihara and Tarulengala are ancient Buddhist ruins in the vicinity from the timeless past. Nearby Okanda, an important (though isolated) Hindu shrine, is on the pilgrim route from Jaffna in the north to Kataragama. Okanda is also the gateway to famous Kumana Villu, where water birds nest and the Yala east national park with miles of unexplored golden beaches.

Kumana

Kumana ornithological reserve lies south of Arugam Bay and is notable for flamingoes, who turn the marshy areas and reserviors into a riot of brilliant pinks and peach hues.Apart from birds (brilliant hued peacocks are so common at Kumana one ceases even to notice them). The reserve is also famous for the same kind of wildlife as Yala,futher south. Kumana is a 2-3 hour drive from Galapita depending on your time of departure.We will happily arrange overnight camping on the beach or a sumptuous seafood lunch; you should also take the opportunity to visit the nearby ruins one cave monasteries.
