Walk through a little forest path, towards a tumble of boulders, and you come to the most recent addition to our lodges at Pidurangala: Two stunningly spacious tree houses! Crafted lovingly by our team, they retain their position while giving you a elegant accommodation space. Climb up well built wooden steps to the top of the tree house which is furnished with hand crafted comfortable beds where you wake up to the dramatic views of the boulder forest and the delicate sounds of nature. The additional lounge deck makes the upstairs a spacious, open space that easily accommodates up to 4 adults. Downstairs, at the base of the tree, you have an open lounge to relax and sip your evening cup of tea or coffee. The modern toilet is attached along with the designer open format shower area, with hot and cold water for you to enjoy a long shower under the open skies. These lodges are especially popular among honeymooners with the privacy, comfort and peaceful surrounding it provides.
Three individual cottages – named after three of our favourite resident birds Shama, Iora, and MalKoha – share a common lounge and dining area along with a little pantry. The cottages, each with its own verandah, are designed to maximise the impact of the forest. As our attics seem highly popular, we added one at Weera as well. It leads off the lounge area and can be used for additional sleep space or for reading, writing, bird watching…or for playing games on a rainy day. In keeping with our philosophy of minimising energy usage our bedrooms have fans rather than air conditioning. Given the jungle setting, we have provided mosquito nets for all the beds. Rooms have attached toilets with hot and cold water.
This open format bungalow has three bed rooms, a dining and lounge area. Up to 7 adults and three children can be accommodated comfortably in Welang which is given out as a single unit. We designed this specifically for family and friends to relax together in comfort while being close to nature. The attic we included for additional sleeping space has become the most popular spot with the kids! We have also added a small pantry with a refrigerator to this bungalow.

Kurulu Uyana is surrounded by forest that is typical to the north central plains of Sri Lanka. It is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. Our staff is specially trained to help you identify birds, butterflies and trees in the forest. As our property borders an elephant path, elephant sightings are possible, especially during the dry season.
A 30 minute drive from Kurulu Uyana. ‘From time immemorial the people of Sri Lanka have taken to rocks and caves with as much alacrity the ducks to water. To torment a cliché – we’ve hardly left a stone unturned. It is then hardly possible that Dambulla’s enormous rock and cavern would have been given a miss…There is no doubt that the painting in the caves of Dambulla have been touched and retouched by succeeding monarchs and patrons and it is not too fanciful to imagine that underneath it all might lie the first artistic efforts of the Lankan cavemen’ - Handbook for the Ceylon Traveller, Chapter 31
There are a number of high outcrops that provide excellent hiking options. Not only are you hiking up forested areas, you also get to explore the ruins of ancient monasteries and palaces.
Minneriya, famous for its ‘Gathering’ when herds of over 200 elephants move to the open grass lands, and its neighbouring park Kaudulla are beautiful parks well worth a visit. The recently opened Hurulu wewa Park is also waiting to be explored
Sri Lankans have a partiality for relaxing in inland waters. There are a number of wewas, (ancient man-made lakes or ‘tanks’), that are ideal spots to spend the better part of the day doing very little!
If you take the jungle path from the edge of Kurulu Uyana, you immediately start climbing the forested slope of Pidurangala. Along the village road, it will take you less than 5 minutes to get to the temple entrance. ‘Above the drip ledge of this cave is an inscription and from this point to the summit is a flight of steps made of rubble. A long cave on the east side of the summit has been divided into three sections by walls. In one image house in this cave is a large recumbent Buddha statue made of brick and stucco probably 10th century …’ – Handbook for the Ceylon Traveller
The finest statue of the Buddha himself will be found at Polonnaruwa, which became the island’s capital when Anuradhapura was abandoned after repeated invasions from India around AD 1,100. A huge reclining figure, fifteen meters long represents the Buddha at the moment of death; standing at its head is a smaller – but still impressive – statue with arms crossed and a look of downcast meditation or sadness’. - The Sea of Sinbad, Arthur C. Clarke
‘Ritigala monastery lies at the foot of the gorge which separates the main peak form the northern ridge of the range…After clambering over the bed of the main intake stream, the principal entrance staircase is reached…The stairway follows upwards in one ascending ridge and is flanked on either side by ruins, gigantic boulders scarred by gulleys, jungle and noble trees. It is one of the most beautiful and moving sights of any ruins in the county’ – Handbook for the Ceylon Traveller, Chapter 32
“An enormous crag, soaring above the plains of the North Central Province, for a brief period in the 5th century Sigiriya was one of the most beautiful and splendid of royal cities; at once a fortress, palace and citadel…A combination of rock, boulders, water, stone and brick, Sigiriya is a carefully thought out city where the natural elements are interwoven with the man-made environment.” - Eloquence in Stone
The forest merges with the villages and historical sites of Pidurangala and Sigiriya. Walking and cycling along the red earth roads are an ideal way of exploring. But please take care as there are elephants around.
