The website is coming soon but here is what you can expect..
Kandy, the last kingdom and the second
largest city of Sri Lanka, is visited by almost every foreign tourist to this
country for her rich history, culture and beauty, and by large numbers of
domestic tourists as pilgrims to the Temple of The Tooth (of The Buddha).
Nestled between mountains, 450 meters above sea level, the climate is
relatively mild. Rain-fall is mostly from November to mid January (North-East
monsoon) and to a lesser degree, from May to August (South-West monsoon).
In recent times, Kandy and her surroundings
have become more popular amongst foreign tourists for the rich flora and fauna.
Mountains, ever-green jungles, water-falls, rivers, rice-fields and
tea-plantations are common sites just outside the city. Together with a local
community whose lives are strongly influenced by the Buddhist way of life,
where hospitality to strangers comes naturally to them, the Kandyan area has
become a must-stay place for all
those who love nature and culture.
The first of the Polwaththa Home-stays
called “Polwaththa (Superior) Home-stays” - so called for it’s spacious new
rooms with large verandas offering more comfort, is located 16 Km East of Kandy
from where villages replace towns and water-buffaloes replace tractors, stretching
right up to the East coast of Sri Lanka where the best beaches are. To offer a
fine blend of nature and culture, this Home-stay is built in a small village,
surrounded by trees and mountains and hosted by a typical village family who
will enthusiastically show you how they live. For activities based on nature
and adventure, guests can participate in all the treks offered by Polwaththa
Eco-lodges (www.polwaththa-ecolodges.com)
situated just 400 meters from the Home-stay. The two guest rooms are detached
from the home – far enough to provide privacy when required (to both the guests
and the host) and close enough to provide a real experience in village life in
Sri lanka.
