Community interaction and supporting school projects provide a rewarding experience. Day tours to Kandy city, Dambulla, Sigiriya, and Wasgamuwa can also be arranged.
The environment and the local community are at the heart of our operations, promoting responsible tourism - we practice the 3 R's and make all of our purchases from within 5 km. We also encourage our guests to plant a tree, and on a larger scale, we purchase lands for reforestation. Polwaththa offers a pristine environment with average day temperatures of 26°C and night temperatures of 22°C with hardly any mosquitoes. We are pet-friendly with 7 dogs and 5 cats, living in harmony with wild boar, deer, porcupine, giant squirrels, monkeys, butterflies, bats, fire-flies, insects and over 60 species of birds with 15 endemics – a paradise for bird watchers.
