Rural Lanka

Rural Lanka focuses on rural tourism and the lesser known areas of the Island. We offer both Travel and Stay options with a unique experience.

Permanently closed.

Sri Lanka is a lot more than monuments to the past, cocktails on the beach, and evening cultural shows. It’s a living, breathing country with a wide variety of traditions, environments, and perspectives. For the majority of Sri Lankans, life is centered on the land, on tradition, on faith, and on family. Rural Lanka seeks to emphasize this part of Sri Lanka, by exploring what makes each region uni

que. We are starting out in Batticaloa District, a seldom-visited area with unique cultural traditions and environmental niches. If you define “fun” as hopping on the back of a motorcycle, taking dirt roads through rice paddies on your way to a hermit’s cave in the jungle, then Rural Lanka is definitely for you. Rural Lanka operates under the assumption that their guests are not interested in experiencing a Disneyland version of Sri Lanka, but want to understand the real Sri Lanka, blemishes and all, particularly the more traditional, rural, less developed reality that the majority of Sri Lankans live every day. If you want to see a very different Sri Lanka and gain a perspective that most visitors will never experience, consider booking with Rural Lanka.

Just some random cows taking care of our lawn. Nature does have an answer. These cows also help us tackle our waste management when it comes to the thrown, left over fruits and food. Since we are deprived of waste collection service in the area, we take matters to our own hands and segregrate the waste and do our best to minimize pollution. These cows benefit from the left over food and overall it's tiny victory.
