At The Abode Trust we wholeheartedly support eco-tourism and ethical tourism which helps provide funding for resources to help villages in the most remote areas of Sri Lanka. This is why we only offer opportunities for between one and four people who want to experience life with village people, are happy with very basic facilities and are adventourous enough to take things ‘on the bump’ as they say in Sri Lanka.
We also aim to extend the borders of traditional holidays beyond the usual comforts of the western world on two/three day expeditions for individuals or groups of up to four people to remote and inaccessible areas.
These are for those who enjoy the challenge of jungle trekking, mountain walking, beating your own path, wading streams and can take in their stride the leeches, ticks, mosquitoes and occasional encounters with snakes and scorpions!!
But the satisfaction is immeasurable – sights few westerners have seen before, the experience of living with hunters, sleeping under the stars by rivers, even the delights of rock climbing in the dark in torrential monsoon rains!
Every tour is designed individually around your pocket, enthusiasm, interests and comfort zones! You can sleep rough and wild, in hotels or somewhere inbetween in tents or on the floor of village houses. We can either offer a themed approach to your trip, with tours focused on:
- Waterfalls, walks and mountains
- Little known Buddhist monasteries and sanctuaries which are not on the map or in regular guide books
- Social, cultural and traditional life in remote villages
- Wildlife, elephants, birds, flora and fauna
- Deserted beaches and water life
- Expeditions and explorations into little explored territory living wild
Or a combination of all or any of these.
