Galkadawala Forest Lodge
Experiences Sri Lankan culture, heritage, wildlife and sustainable living. Galkadawala is a labour of love, which began in 2006, by reforestation of a denuded plot land. The living enclaves are built from recycled building materials.
"Galkadawala" an ancient agro based village is situated in the centre of the Cultural Triangle 10.5 km from Habarana. It has also over the years developed into a stronghold of bio-diversity with rich vegetation and water-courses transforming the once barren landscape into chequered patterns of verdant paddy fields and pockets of jungle glades.
The residential enclaves are surrounded and separated by lush vegetation that has sprouted over the years. Guests may mingle in alternative locations on site , venture out to the rural countryside, or beyond to heritage sites which invariably beckon them.
Galkadawala is Maulie's passion. Hence, she is permanently residing there, and is at hand to help you with planning your stay. She has travelled extensively in Sri Lanka from childhood and will gladly share with you her knowledge of her beloved country.
Since it is in close proximity to the main cultural/historical sites and wild-life parks, tours have been arranged to these sites with the help of the local community in their safari jeeps and motor cycles.
The distances to the sites are approximately:
Ritigala forest monastery (15 mins)
Manakanda forest monastery (25 mins)
Dambulla Temple cave paintings, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Kaudulla or Minneriya National Parks (30 mins)
Polonnaruwa, Huruluwewa, Awkana Buddha statue or Kalawewa( 50 mins)
