Exploring Lanka’s wilds

-

A glimpse of Luxshman Nadaraja’s local tours: Ultimate Wilpattu over two nights and three days is to discover the villus of Wilpattu whilst staying in a forest bungalow; Ultimate Kumana is designed to take birdwatche­rs down paths he has traversed over 30 years, staying in luxury tents over three nights camping on the banks of the Kumbukkan River and Ultimate Wilderness is seven nights and eight days covering Kumana, Horton Plains and Ritigala also in luxury tented accomodati­on. Kumana, relatively less visited than Yala has watchtower­s that provide a unique perspectiv­e, he says. At Ritigala there are archaologi­cal remains also to be explored such as the bund of polygonal plan attributed to King Pandukabha­ya (437-367 BC). There are also tours to Wasgamuwa, one of Luxshman and Nelun’s favourite haunts.
