Wild Glamping Gal Oya offers a wonderful eco-lodge on the edge of the off-the-beaten-track Gal Oya National Park. Surrounded by jungle and mountains, this property has turned the land into an organic farm and glamping campsite, complete with swimming pool and luxury African-style tented rooms offering comfortable beds, air-conditioning, storage, private bathroom with hot water rain shower and a proper flushing toilet. The spacious design and beautiful setting ensure guests can really relax amidst nature whilst enjoying modern comforts.
What makes this property even more special is that 90% of its staff are from the neighbouring indigenous Veddha community, giving them the opportunity for social and economic inclusion. The site has also been designed and constructed with sustainability at its heart, and the campsite is built adhering to green building guidelines using locally sourced material. Guests are encouraged to experience organic farming during their stay and can actively participate in environment protection through agro-reforestation and drip irrigation projects onsite.
Thanks to its location, guests can experience the surrounding natural beauty through the range of cultural and wildlife activities that are just on the doorstep, such as jungle walks with a indigenous Veddah tribe member, drift along on a boat safari, or trek to the top of Monkey Mountain. Its remote location also means guests can really enjoy a few days ‘off-grid’ and switch off amongst the untouched surroundings, free from the hustle and bustle of daily life, with no mobile network reception or Wi-Fi available to interrupt the tranquillity.
