You will experience nothing but pure magic as you join us on our treks, bush walks and Glamping at Ahaspokuna. Your entitlement for a stay of two nights is four walks, which will leave you mesmerized as you are taken down paths of the wild and the mysterious by our walking safari specialists. 

Within a few hours, you can travel through different ecosystems in Sri Lanka. Where else in the world can you visit a 300 BC city in the morning and take a wildlife safari in the afternoon? Sri Lanka is blessed with magnificent landscapes, historic capitals and temples that are so unique they are considered to be of global importance.

What do you do when you’re tired from all those bushwalking adventures, but not quite in the mood to while away your afternoon in the wild bath or hammock? Well, learning to make traditional Sri Lankan chicken curry in 2260-acre savannah wilderness is essentially bucket list material! 

The air was crisp as we journeyed into the bush at dawn. The serenity of trees wearing diamonds of morning dew, gently sparkling as the sun rose behind them, surrounded us. However, not too long after being isolated in a wilderness just waking up did something else surround us. Something 11 feet tall. Something with 19 pairs of ribs... each.

A pair of dirty yellow eyes watches through the tall grass as the Ahaspokuna bushman cuts grass. Unblinking, silent, waiting. Just a few feet away, the blades of the grass cutter getting closer and closer. The creature’s forked tongue snakes its way out from still lips – a quivering dance.

In an isolated part of the forest whilst being hunted by a leopard, we found ourselves on foot and miles away from civilisation. No jeep, no weapons, and it was getting dark with storm clouds gathering. “Travelling to Ahaspokuna somewhat feels like the ‘Wrong Turn’ don’t you think?

Story of the “Binara Plant” You could say that “Blue” is not a very common colour in Nature, especially among flowers. And that's why Belle, from “Beauty and the Beast”, asks her father to bring a “Blue Rose” from his travels … blue flowers are pretty special…. Behold the beautiful Binara, a bright blue flower on a slender herbaceous plant endemic to Sri Lanka.

Bushwalks at Ahaspokuna can be challenging, with varying terrain, steep drops, long trekking trails formed by elephants, manoeuvring through thick bush forest, and facing unpredictable weather.
