Travel Guide

This is a massive Stupa located in the Southern region of Sri Lanka near Yala National Park. It is not a must to visit, but still a local gem to have a look on. There are few amazing stone carvings around the Stupa.

OLYMPUS E-PM1 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO-200 Focal Length: 45 mm Thissamaharama is situated in the Southern province of Sri Lanka. Most of the people in those areas practise chena cultivation as their major income. But those cultivated lands are destroyed by the elephants and wild boars as the density of animals in this region is very high. So, the farmers make these kind of huts on trees and protect their cultivation through out the night for months.
The luxury tent at Elephant Lake Yala was incredible. The food, setting and service couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommend this overnight experience.

The staff was helpful in organising a safari and in general with the hotel. The pool looks and feels great for a dip to cool down.
