As a sustainable community programme, this has given so many opportunities to local women to build their domestic income.

Our next stop is at a local vegetable cultivation where we can experience a typical day on the farm and chat to the local families and whilst enjoying a home cooked lunch with vegetables we help collect.

Onwards to our amazing hotel for the next 3 nights to relax, swim, pamper to your hearts delight.

This afternoon is a nature lovers dream as we head to Minneriya to enjoy a jeep safari and get the chance to observe the unique and amazing wild animals in their natural habitants. If we’re lucky enough, we’ll spot monkeys, leopards, sloth bear, sambar deer, elephants gathering and many varieties of colourful water birds. This is undoubtedly an afternoon you won’t forget.

Your evening is at leisure but your hotel does have one of the best Spas in the country if you feel the urge to be pampered!

After breakfast we travel to Wasgamuwa, check into our hotel and head to the Wasgamuwa community project where we learn to identify individual elephants and appreciate the various ecological systems in the project area. Each day at the centre is different and we wont know what we’ll be doing until the actual day, and could be anything from watching the elephants from a tree-house, tank monitoring (where the elephants bathe), trail transects (a hike to identify if elephants have been in the area) or you could be helping to reduce human-elephant conflict within the national park.

Early evening we’ll return to the hotel to freshen up, relax over dinner and chat about the days activities, before we go back to the centre to experience the jungle at night time. In our tree houses we’ll have an excellent opportunity to witness elephants feeding and listen to them socialising with each other. An incredible experience!

Then it’s onward to the sacred city of Kandy. As the former capital city and last stronghold of the Sinhala Kings, this city holds an aura of grandeur, and its colonial influences still remain.

With an evening at leisure, why not explore its vibrant array of shops, listen to the energetic beating drums and visit the ornate temples. If you have time, definitely visit the Temple of the Tooth one of Sri Lank’s most sacred shines.

And don’t miss a chance to taste of Kandy’s famous street food – watch a chef transform a ball of dough into a sheet wafer thin sheet, skilfully slice , griddle and mix with vegetables and spices to create a Kotthu Roti…so tasty!

Hotel: Amaya Hills

Meals:  Breakfast & Fruit Sampling

Soak in the spectacular scenery as you walk along the tracks and then enjoy a short hike to Little Adam’s Peak, the beautiful mountains surrounding the laid back town of Ella.

It’s here you’ll find the Ravana Falls, a 3 tier cascading waterfall that gushes down the rock face creating rock pools along its path.

Arriving at our hotel, the rest of the evening is yours to relax or explore.

This afternoon we get to a little closer as we jump aboard our jeeps to take us on safari. Udawalwe National Park is home to over 500 wild Asian elephants which can roam in herds of up to 100, and although elephants are the main attraction, you can also get to see water buffalo, wild boar, mongooses and even some leopards if we’re really lucky.
