“Explore the wilderness with the Veddas, the indigenous people of Sri Lanka

Originally a marshy wasteland located in an area within close proximity to the parliament this area has been repurposed to create an urban oasis for many species from birds, butterflies and dragon flies to reptiles.

Traditionally the Veddas were hunter gatherers and were exceptional at surviving in the wilderness. The older generation still possess the skills and venture into the forests like their ancestors before them.

In this tour you will have the opportunity to join one of the senior Veddas and trek into the jungle and learn about their heritage. This expedition will be facilitated by a local guide who’s well accustomed with the ways of the Vedda and will double up as your translator as well.

During this expedition you will have the chance to sleep in the ancient caves that the Veddas once used to occupy before they moved closer to civilization. The food will also be basic and true to the Veddas own diet. This is truly an experience of a lifetime.
