Ulpotha has been a pilgrimage site for thousands of years and remains an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Sri Lanka. A beautiful private hide-away open to guests for part of the year. A place of total peace, where you can experience the warm, generous and gentle hospitality which Sri Lankans love to offer.
Ulpotha is a traditional working village cradled on the one side by low mountains and a lotus ringed lake and on the other by tiny emerald green paddy fields. Our focus, at present, is on the restoration of an ageless agricultural way of life including bio-diverse organic farming and reforestation of the land and its immediate surroundings.
The village is funded by the East Pole Foundation, a loosely knit, non-profit group whose primary aim is to nurture the values of traditional village life.
Guests are welcome to Ulpotha and those who come will find a natural sanctuary of exceptional beauty where the main activity is simply relaxing in its remarkable atmosphere of peace and calm. Yoga classes from some of the worlds leading yoga teachers, basic ayurvedic treatments and massage are all included in the cost of your stay.
A new introduction to Ulpotha is Dr Srilal, an acclaimed Ayurvedic doctor. Subject to consultation and an additional fee he can administer a variety of specialised and individual treatments. This is in addition to our existing local treatment centre and massage therapies that are all included in the cost of your holiday.
The FACT SHEET gives you information on yoga, massage and ayurvedic treatments, and on what to bring, prices etc.
We look forward to seeing you in Ulpotha. We love it - and we hope you will too.
