Inside Village

Ha gala known as the rabbit rock (1400m) located in Belihul oya bordering the Horton plain’s national park is a hike available in close proximity to the hotel. This hike is a less travelled path which is off the beaten tracks where you can experience a view so exquisite once you reach the summit of the rabbit rock. A hotel guide will be provided to lead you through the journey to and from the rabbit rock where you will pass the likes of tea estates, cooling forests which will be a hike approximately of 4hrs.

While the pool is not a huge one, it has a deep corner( 6.5 feet) and a shallow area( around 4 feet) and ideal for a good dip to sooth your body and soul. Also a short swim is also possible with a deep end corner too( dimensions are given below).

* Natural pool is sometimes shared by the villagers

Position yourself between boulders or lie down in a shallow pond on the river to give your body the effect of a spa therapy or massage and this comes naturally with the cooling effect that soothes your body and with a massage effect ‘free of charge’ ( there are many such ‘Natural jacuzi/spa’ spots giving you a relaxing ‘ Natural water therapy’ ).

It is believed that the fish can stimulate acupuncture points and help regulate the nervous system, relax the body and release fatigue. (Not available during extreme weather condition Or high water flows)
