The Abode Trust is a not-for-profit organisation based in Sri Lanka which offers eco-tourism to fund its work with people who live traditional lives in remote villages.

The SE has seen few foreign tourists for many years and offers countless magnificent sites of cultural and ecological interest. Read about a safari to see elephants and wildlife by boat to get up close and quietly…. magic!
NEW. We’re off again on 5th January for our latest tour and will bring you the latest on the road improvements, ferries, bridges security and access to the northern territories including Jaffna.

At The Abode Trust our eco-tourism and ethical tourism helps provide funding to remote areas.
This is one of the hardest treks in Sri Lanka. Many set out, few make it for there is much to challenge the hardiest walker on the way.But the magnificence and unspoilt landscape are more than a reward for those who succeed.
For those who enjoy adventure, are willing to sleep and live in wild jungle, be overwhelmed by the insignificance of man – and woman – against nature and bask in stupendous sights and insights.
