A vast space with
unmatched privacy

Ahaspokuna bush walk camp - Camp ground

We offer you approximately 10,000 square metres of private space; arguably the largest of its kind in any wildlife camp, lodge, hotel or other accommodation in Sri Lanka.

Inside this vast area, you will find a luxurious living space with plenty of cosy and private nooks for you to read, relax, meditate, and practice yoga. But, what sets it even further apart from any other accomodation in Sri Lanka, is the private Star Bed and Bush Bathtub that accompany each living space.

Unique accommodation experience

Ahaspokuna is the only accommodation in Sri Lanka, and quite possibly in this part of the world, to have a full-fledged, independent Star Bed for each living space.

This spacious and luxurious four-poster bed, set on a wooden deck, is a wonderful place during the day to curl up with a book or sunbathe amidst the butterflies, in complete privacy.

in our " Wild Bath "
Overlooking the grasslands

Unique accommodation experience

A bathtub connected to hot & cold water overlooks the grasslands with every living space. You are invited to use it at any time of the day for a completely refreshing experience, and with complete privacy.

While your bathtub caddy keeps your book and glass of wine steady, enjoy an immersive experience of an alfresco Wild Bath, in the open plains, at any time of the day.

Trek to check-in to Ahaspokuna bush walk camp

Ahaspokuna is the only all-suite accommodation facility in the country, where there is no motorable route; giving peace to wildlife, the environment, and to you as well.

A unique elephant fence:
encircling the humans,
not the elephants

Elephant & Wildlife sightings during your Ahaspokuna stay

There is a very healthy and happy herd of elephants living in the vicinity of Ahaspokuna and they quite frequently pay visits to see how we are doing. They have been doing it for generations and we never want to block their paths. So we’ve built a safety fence encircling your Suite Tent, for your safety, but left the entire land free for them to wander as they please.

Find Our Roots

History Of Ahaspokuna Bush-Walk Camp . . .

The history of Ahaspokuna is deeply connected to the history of Sri Lanka itself and it has indeed been an eventful past. Its roots are deeply entrenched in the history of the great Kandyan Kingdom in particular and the colonial invasions of the time, as well as the heroic resistance of the hill capital and its people against foreign invaders.

The highlights of this great history include the up country, leaders signing a treaty with the invaders and the subsequent breach of contract by the colonial masters, the 1818 Uva revolt by the key hill country leaders etc

All this quintessentially makes Ahaspokuna Bush walk camps
what it is – a magical experience.

It’s high time that we, as the key tourism industry stakeholders, understand our responsibility when it comes to creating accommodation and expenses. We should not limit our creativity and only flock to where everyone else is going. We should have the courage, creativity and grit to go to places that seldom others goes to and create a successful, creative and sustainable Tourism Experience.

That’s exactly what we have done by creating Ahaspokuna.

In the Sinhalese language (spoken in Sri Lanka), “Ahas” means “Sky” and “Pokuna” means “Pond” or “Pool”. Ahaspokuna is so named in reference to the lake here, high up in the hills, that is only fed by rainwater. A former settlement that sprung up on its shores was subsequently also named “Ahaspokuna”. Today, the jungle tide has washed over where people once lived and the camp provides a wilderness retreat for those in search of something different. Ahaspokuna by Eco Team
