For those that haven’t tried it before, including children, our recreational assistants will get you started by showing you how to hold the bow and take aim. If you have some experience, they may also provide some healthy competition.

There are very few places in Sri Lanka where you can explore your surroundings on horseback. We have our own stables at Uga Ulagalla, and riders of all abilities are welcome to explore our nature-rich locality on the back of one of our resident horses. Routes take you along a network of rust-red tracks and pathways leading in and around our neighbouring lakes, onto tank bunds shaded by kumbuk trees and through waist-high grasslands.

The Wanamaduwa Tank is our venue for placid kayaking adventures at dawn or dusk. Thought to date back to the third century AD, and to the time of King Mahasen, a renowned Anuradhapura king, it covers 100 acres and is popular with villagers using nets and liners to fish. Exploring this picturesque reservoir by kayak is the gentlest way to observe its wild habitants. Paddle past water lillies and lotus flowers in whites, pinks and purples, and close in on egrets, herons and many other water birds dipping in and out of the still water. On dry land, kumbuk trees provide a leafy refuge for kingfishers and storks.

Birds and buffalo are often sighted alongside other wildlife, including elephants, particularly when you reach scenic Nachchaduwa Lake, a vast reservoir framed by dense pockets of forest and the distant hills. This setting makes a great spot for enjoying sundowners before heading back to the hotel. *Elephant sightings however depend on the season, July to August being the peak.
