Forest Walk with Aboriginal Locals in Sri Lanka Holidays

We can offer this culture-rich experience in conjunction with the Gal Oya Lodge, set in a remote location on the edge of the Gal Oya National Park. Their only neighbours are the Veddhas, Sri Lanka's aboriginal inhabitants. Descended from the country's Stone-Age inhabitants, these primitive folk cling tenaciously to their age-old lifestyle by living off the hunt and gathering the fruit of the land, despite the ongoing process of industrialisation and modernisation. Gal Oya Lodge can arrange for the village chief or one of his deputies to take you on a walk through the jungles of his ancestors. You will discover and learn about local nature as he brings the forest alive by explaining his tribe’s use of medicinal plants, ancient hunting grounds and cave dwellings, while providing a fascinating insight into how the hunter-gatherers lived in the jungles of Gal Oya.
