At Jetwing Kaduruketha, experiences are aplenty. From the traditional farmlands of our home to the picturesque regions of our island beyond, Wellawaya is a forgotten gateway to a world of Sri Lankan adventures that range from chasing waterfalls, discovering archaeological sites, hiking, trekking, roaming around on wildlife safaris, and more.<\/p>\n
Amidst the serene environment that surrounds our home of Sri Lankan hospitality, indulge in agro-luxury with organic gardening at our farm, or witness the celebrations of paddy farming and harvesting festivals of the local Maha and Yala seasons, where the first harvest of rice is offered to deities in a traditional ceremony known as \u2018Dewa Danaya\u2019. For further exploration, we also offer village walks, a tree trail, and nocturnal wildlife trail as outdoor excursions, along with a dedicated bird watching experience that allows you to spot over 120 species of birds within the resident environment of Jetwing Kaduruketha.<\/p>\n
If you wish to spot even more species of wildlife, the Uda Walawe National Park further south is not only home to the largest population of elephants in Sri Lanka, but also other animals such as wild buffalo and spotted deer to name a few. In the neighbouring regions, the Hadapanagala Tank is another hotspot for elephants, while the Weheragala section of Yala National Park is known as one of the best places in the world to spot the elusive Sri Lankan leopard.<\/p>\n
Beyond Wellawaya, travel through lush tea plantations of our central highlands to popular mountain destinations such as Ella, complete with its spectacles of the Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam\u2019s Peak, Ravana Falls, and more. An alternative is the Poonagala mountain range, where Jetwing Kaduruketha organises adventurous hikes through the cool climes. Diyaluma Falls, the second highest waterfall in Sri Lanka, is also located in the regions that surround these highlands, while the secluded Elle Wele waterfall can be accessed by bicycle from our hotel.<\/p>\n
Finally, Wellawaya is also conveniently located in a region of historical significance. For instance, archaeological sites such as the Buduruvagala and Yudaganawa Temples take you back centuries, yet remain not too far away from Jetwing Kaduruketha, while the ruins of Maligawila and the biso kotuwa complex at Galebedda remain feats of ancient engineering and construction that should not be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
