Experiences

Go forth into the wild, or back into the early centuries

Bordering Sri Lanka’s famed reserve of Yala National Park, Jetwing Jungle Lodge is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. The abundance of exotic flora and fauna within the sanctuary is a treat that can be enjoyed as you wish on a series of full or half-day safaris. For birding enthusiasts, a number of dedicated trails in our immediate region offer a specialised wildlife experience.

The surrounding region is also one that is rich in history and culture, home to the ancient temples of Kataragama and Sithulpawwa – both significant in their own right. While the latter serves as an ancient Buddhist monastery dating back to the 2nd century BC, Kataragama has been a revered town for pilgrims of multiple faiths for centuries.

In addition to the natural and historical wonders that abound the area, the immediate beachfront of Jetwing Jungle Lodge is a stretch of unspoilt, private golden sand to laze your evenings away with spectacular, amethyst-soaked sunsets to awe you.
