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.

First ever Suite Tent
in Sri Lanka,
the largest of its kind
Ahaspokuna Bush walk camp, Luxury Tent
Your accommodation unit consists of your arrival deck, sleeping tent, luggage and powder lounge, flushable toilet and an indoor shower that has hot & cold water. Just outside your Suite Tent, but still within your 10,000 square metres of private space, you will find a romantic Star Bed for you to relax or sleep in during the day or night, and Sri Lanka’s first-ever Bush Bathtub, overlooking the expansive grasslands.



Starry, starry night
with our full-fledged
independent Star Beds
for all living spaces
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.

Have a bath
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.



We have no motorable road,
this means complete bliss,
away from the hustle and bustle
of the outside world
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. We will meet you at a pre-designated point and take you on a short, 20 minute trek to your new home in the wild. All your luggage will be taken care of by our helpful staff.

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.



Enjoy bush walks in a way
that has never been done
before in Sri Lanka
Walking / Trekking trails during your stay at Ahaspokuna bush walk camp
Whether it’s a short and easy trail, a half-day trail of moderate difficulty, or an adventurous full-day trail, Ahaspokuna has it all!
Elephant forged trails take you through beautiful scenery, mountain ranges, waterfalls, grasslands and even through rural villages, all the while bringing you close encounters and sightings of birds and beasts of the land. All walks will be guided by a professional Naturalist and experienced Bushman, who’ve lived in this forested area for generations.

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

More About Ahaspokuna
Bush-Walk Camp Experience
During our world-famous bushwalks, you will be guided by professional naturalists and expert Bushmen who have lived in this forested area for several generations. Enjoy Sri Lanka's famous warmth and hospitality at its finest and make your dream of living in the wilderness a reality.
Private Bushwalks, Yoga, Meditation, Ayurvedic Massage Therapy, Culinary Classes, Udawalawe National Park Safaris, Exploring Prehistoric Human Settlements and a Forgotten Kingdom… is simply a beginning to your story at Ahaspokuna.
Immerse your senses in a mosaic of habitats with wide grasslands hiding an eclectic variety of plants and herbs – some of which have medicinal value, cave systems used by elephants that go there for salt, streams, hidden waterfalls… and, amongst a plethora of mammals and birds, you discover the true meaning of co-existence.

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.
