Ahaspokuna details

Style

Some of the largest safari accommodation in Sri Lanka with spacious raised tents.

Setting

Ahaspokuna is ideally located in Sri Lanka’s hill country and is designed to focus on walking safaris in the stunning surrounding area. The views from your tented accommodation look out over breath-taking sweeping vistas which are perfect for switching off and meditating or enjoying yoga.

Accommodation & Facilities

Accommodation at Ahaspokuna comprises three private tented suites with large bedrooms, welcome porch areas and fully-equipped bathrooms. The area on the whole is fenced so as to ensure the safety of all guests, but wildlife is never too far away. As well as your tented room there is the option of using the star beds, set on a raised platform so you can enjoy the excitement of sleeping under the stars.

Another way of being complete at one with nature is the wild bath that overlooks the grasslands. You may enjoy this refreshing experience at any time while relaxing with a book and a glass of wine.

Dining

The open-sided dining tent is set apart from the main sleeping tents and is a communal area to enjoy with your fellow guests. There is also the outdoor campfire area where you can have a drink before or after dinner and chat about the day’s activities and sightings.

ACTIVITIES

The main focus at Ahaspokuna is walking safaris as this lodge is one of very few who offer this experience in Sri Lanka. Rather than traditional jeep safaris (the lodge is not accessible by motorised vehicles) Ahaspokuna puts nature centre stage allowing you to truly hear, feel and experience the bush and the wildlife that surrounds you.
